| | Accelerated Graphics Port - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Accelerated Graphics Port (also called Advanced Graphics Port) is a high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a graphics card to a computer's motherboard, primarily to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics. | | | The ASRock Graphics Interface (AGI) is a proprietary variant of the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) standard. | | | The Epox Advanced Graphics eXtended (AGX) is also a proprietary variant of the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) standard. |

| | AGP - Accelerated Graphics Port |
| | Accelerated Graphics Port or Advanced Graphics Port (depending of which manufacturer's point of view), a new bus, designed by Intel, to be used by graphics boards. | | | AGP is an interface designed to convey 3D images (for example, from Web sites or CD-ROMs) much more quickly and smoothly than is possible today on any computer other than an expensive graphics workstation. | | | A new bus port (an enhancement to the PCI bus) that accelerates graphics data throughput. |

| | The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) |
| | AGP is a bus design which overcomes the limitations of the PCI bus to transfer data in and out of system memory. | | | AGP improves on the physical speed of transfer by operating at 133 MHz, compared with the 66 MHz of PCI, and AGP provides a coherent memory management design which allows scattered data in system memory to be read in rapid bursts. | | | With AGP, Intel has created a mechanism whereby the physical address of information in system memory is immaterial to the graphics subsystem. |

| | AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) Definition |
| | Stands for "Accelerated Graphics Port." This is a graphics card expansion port designed by Intel that resides on the motherboard of a computer. | | | Additionally, AGP cards can store graphics in system memory rather than video memory, which also helps improve performance. | | | Becuase of these advantages, AGP cards will typically have better performance per MB of VRAM than PCI graphics cards. |

| | Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) |
| | AGP is considered a port, and not a bus, because it only involves two devices (the processor and video card) and is not expandable. | | | More information on AGP will be forthcoming as it becomes more mainstream and is seen more in the general computing market. | | | As software evolves and computer use continues into previously unexplored areas such as 3D acceleration and full-motion video playback, both the processor and the video chipset need to process more and more information. |

| | Santa Clara, Calif.--The much-ballyhooed Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) chipset will make its long-awaited debut today as Intel continues its push into what it calls the "visual computing platform." AGP is the third out of four multimedia graphics developments Intel is bringing to the computer market. | | | What started with the Pentium II microprocessor line, MMX technology, and now AGP, will culminate into Intel's own proprietary graphics accelerator chip, dubbed the i740, that is scheduled for introduction by the end of this year, Electronic News has learned. | | | By moving the accelerator to the AGP, texture data is actually more enhanced and realistic because it can be done in main memory, he said. |

| | A device called a Graphics Aperture Remapping Table (GART) handles the RAM addresses so they can be distributed in small chunks throughout system memory rather than hijacking one large section, and presents them to a DIME-enabled graphics card as if they're part of on-board memory. | | | To avoid the bottleneck, Intel developed AGP as a separate connector that operates off the processor bus. | | | The main use for DIME is to allow much larger textures to be used because the graphics card can have a much larger memory space in which to load the bitmaps used. |
