Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AGP graphics card and why is it different?
AGP is a legacy expansion interface used in older computers (pre-2005). This card supports AGP 1x/2x/4x/8x slots in heritage systems.
What applications does this dual-monitor card support?
With DVI, RGB, and TV outputs, this card suits professional video playback, television display, and legacy dual-monitor setups.
Is this card suitable for older institutional systems?
Yes, schools, government offices, and businesses with legacy AGP systems can upgrade to dual-monitor capability without replacing the motherboard.
What is RAMDAC and why does 360 MHz matter?
RAMDAC converts digital graphics to analogue video signals. Higher speeds support higher refresh rates and resolutions on VGA monitors.
Can this card display to television sets?
Yes, dedicated TV output enables connection to television displays for presentations or broadcast applications.
Is this card still relevant for modern systems?
AGP systems are legacy; this card is for maintaining or upgrading existing AGP computers, not for new builds.
What is the lead time for this AGP graphics card?
Lead times vary by availability. Contact Procure.ae to confirm if this legacy component is currently in stock and delivery timeline.
Do you support installation of legacy graphics cards?
Procure.ae offers guidance for legacy system upgrades. Contact our team to discuss installation support.
How much memory does this card have?
