"As it transpired recently, VIA’s PT890 North Bridge not only supports upcoming PCI Express x16 slots for graphics cards, but also sports AGP 8x bus that may be treated as a bit outdated, but that still provides enough bandwidth for the vast majority of graphics cards available nowadays."

Wtf, I am unaware on any card that can saturate the current agp 8x slot...

since you imply that some cards can I would really like to know about them
