What was the fastest AGP card that you ever used?

 

The fastest one I ever used was the Diamond Multimedia ATI Radeon 9550 128 MB Model which is clocked at a core clock speed of 250 Mhz. I have been looking at getting the ATI Radeon X1950PRO for Intel Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz Prescott Socket 478 for my video on the basic progression of AGP.

I had a Radeon 9200 I don't remember the ram or speed because they had several models of it out. One was AGP and I think two were PCI. It was a great card at the time though.

My X1900 was probably the fastest AGP card I ran before switching to PCI-E. Favorite was the X850 XT, I kept it and still use it occasionally.

I had a Radeon 9600 and My friend gave me a Geforce 6800 at one time. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

My beast Powercolor X1950 Pro 512MB may not be the fastest AGP GPU but it was high end when it was released.

The fastest AGP graphics card are the HD 3850, HD 4670 and HD 4650.

I had a 3DFX Voodoo 3 and another Nvidia card but I cannot remember for the life of me what they were.

I will have to go back into my build logs to see what they were. :| 

All I remember is the better of two cards burned out my AOpen Mobo and I had to replace the Mobo with a workstation model to supply the proper voltage.

AOpen was a pretty good board maker back then .... memories ...

Radeon HD 4650, which was one the last AGP cards produced, and was really PCIE built on a PCIE to AGP bridge.  Yeah, I was slow to stop depending on an AGP slot.

A  Legend 6660GT 128mb. God awful card.  Was the first build i planned myself.  My timing was awful.  Rest of the system was a socket 754 athlon 64 with a Chaintech motherboard.  Neither Legend nor Chaintech exist anymore
