I know that AGP 4x is faster than AGP 1x in theory, but does it matter in real appliactions?
Fx. a friend of mine says that Sacrifice wouldn't be able to run smooth on AGP 1x. The calculation: 1280x960x32=18MB per frame = 540MB per sec (30 fps). + texture data and stuff. This wouldn't be able to run through AGP 1x, with it's ??280?? MB/s bandwidth.
I always thought that AGP 4x only was faster than AGP 1x when it came to AGP texturing (which is useless) and that the bandwidth of AGP 1x was more than enough for current games.
Am i wrong?
