AGP.5 agp2pci prototype VS Change-AGP2PCI
05.12.11 at 00:25:55

Hi all,

I've received the complete AGP.5 agp2pci prototype from Ren.

I make some tests with 3dmark2001se.

Hardwares :

- Asus Maximus IV Extreme
- Intel 2600k @3,4 GHz
- 4 Go DDR3
- 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP
- Supermicro RSC-RR1UE-AXL adaptor
- AGP.5 agp2pci prototype (@66 MHz)
- Kurouto Shikou Change-AGP2PCI (@66 MHz)

Softwares :

- Windows XP Pro Sp3 (x86)
- Koolsmoky Betas Drivers

Modded @66 MHz :

Voodoo5 5500 AGP @166 MHz :

Comparaison with Kurouto Shikou Change-AGP2PCI (@66 MHz) :

With Beta Koolsmoky Drivers : 3625 marks ( 66 mhz )

Conclusion :

Same score with 3dmark2001se :

- 3625 marks (AGP.5 agp2pci prototype)
- 3625 marks (Kurouto Shikou Change AGP2PCI)

A voodoo5 6000 would work as well, with the same results as the original agp2pci adapter ! Please test it and post the results Michael

When I test the AGP.5 card with 3dmark2001se, I put sellotape on pin look the picture !

3625 marks with AGP.5 modded @66 MHz.

@33 MHz with koolsmoky drivers look the benchmark : only 3247 marks

It is wery interesting to follow the test and development of AGP2PCI-e addapter. I am also interested for one coz I see the chance to test and compare the "old" AGP's and new developed cards under almoust same conditiom. It would be wery interesting to compare one 6800GT AGP and one 6600GT PCI-e from same company and with same specifikations. The two question which I have in background are - compatibility with other cards... posibilty to use AGP2 with lower voltage... maybe one impulse to think in this direction. I would be glad to help, so far I can, in this project.

IC1 is soldered because: 1) slightly better cooling of IC1 2) mechanical stability. IC1 can easily go up to 130 celsius under load. Over 150 celsius it will burn.
