geforce 8 agp and motherboard compatibility


I have this motherboard which only has AGP in it. Recently I decided to buy a 8800 gt video card. Is there any manufacturer which makes these cards with AGP as I already said that my motherboards only uses AGP. If not I would like to upgrade my PC to a better configuration so that this card can be installed on it. Please suggest me a solution for geforce 8 AGP. Or suggest a good pc for me which could have all these advanced gaming stuff. Thanks in advance.

NVIDIA Geforce is a trusted name and I would like you to go for it only. Its prices are also quite competitive in comparison to the others available in the market. Geforce GTX 460 is based on the all new 40 nmGF104 GPU which is based on latest introduced Fermi architecture. The GTX 460is costing around $200 and well under the other competitors. NVIDIA offers two variants of the Geforce GTX 460, one with 768 MB of GDDR5 memory and one with 1GB. Due to the GPU architecture this change in memory size not only affects the actual memory but also other performance relevant figures, which its competitor lacks. The reduction of memory size is achieved by installing less memory chips on the card which reduces the bus width of the GPU from 256-bit to 192-bit on the 768 MB version. Since the ROPs are coupled to the memory interface this also results in less ROP units. Combined all those changes reduce the fill rates and memory performance of the card by 25%. NVIDIA Geforce GTX 460 is a good choice to go with and it is worth of its prices.
