Well actually ur right but the point being on how much of a hardcore gamer u are....if y dyn wanna compromise a single bit of Frame detail in Doom 3 then a biggest Gfx card upgrade is needed but then again if u are that regular kinda gamer and dun matter what all those detail and 3D Enigne means then a decent possible Gfx card could be sufficient

@darthvader....pal the Pci-E even though a new technology has a small but fair enough advantage over the Agp counterparts provided with a Good PCI-E Gfx card,good proccy and Ram they just blaze a good amount of FPS with all eye candy on and at high settings
Btw there was a Toms Hardware Review of PCI-E VS AGP cards where the PCI-E cards just posted way better frame rates for games then AGP ones (and yea the major game being Doom 3)....i'll just try ad get that link again posted by rohit 8)

Edit:Here got the link and see the results for urself

AGP Test: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...charts-07.html
