Does a PCI Express x16 Video Card go in an AGP slot?

I want to upgrade my videocard, but don't see any video cards marked as working in an AGP slot on newegg.com. Does PCI express x16 mean AGP slot?|||NO. For a PCI Express X16 video card, get a computer with a PCI Express slot. If you HAVE a computer with an AGP 4X/8X slot, then look for an AGP 4X/8X card.



If you have an AGP 2X/4X slot, then get an AGP 2X/4X card. You really have to LOOK at the socket and connectors on the card if you don't know.



Visit http://www.newegg.com and look for AGP video. Then ZOOM IN on the pictures. You will notice that some connectors have TWO sections of contacts, and others have THREE sections. You might even have to refer to your computer or motherboard manual and check the SPECIFICATIONS.



Good luck and Happy Computing!|||When you go to NewEgg, type video card agp in the search box and hit SEARCH. Here is just one example. (but not necessarilly recommended) http://www.newegg.com/Product/…

|||No, PCI-E has a different number of pins and length. You can not install a PCI-E card in an AGP slot. New eggs has a lot of AGP cards but they tend to be more expensive due to being older technology. Start you search here:



http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…|||No. PCI is PCI and AGP is AGP. It won't fit.|||NO!!



AGP was the standard for video cards.



The NEW standard is PCI express slots.



IF you going to upgrade, check out a new motherboard with PCIe slots, they don't make motherboard with AGP slots anymore.



Good luck|||No AGP is an older slot, there is a tool you can download called CruicalScan it will tell you what cards are compatible with AGP, be aware that these cards aren't as good as ones built for PCI-Express slots.



I would recommend upgrading your motherboard to one with a PCI Express x16 slot.
