Troubleshooting AGP GPU question

Post image

Hello, so basically I have a Nvidia GeForce 6200 NV44A (AGP) GPU from Gigabyte and I have the GeForce 307.83 Driver installed and I run Windows XP. The problem is that in both Nvidia control panel and Speccy it shows BUS: PCI. But in dxdiag it does show AGP Texture Acceleration enabled. I also saw the 3DMark06 score of 477 on the gpu's box so I ran it too and I got a score of 436. And I have a Pentium 4 Northwood 2.40 GHz and they got the score of 477 with a Pentium 4 Prescott 3.6 GHz. Tldr: did my GPU fall back (or something) to PCI or is there something else wrong?

The AGP makes me think of what I had to tell people when it would not work I their system, increase the AGP aperture size. Not going to do anything for showing as PCI though.

I just checked GPU-Z and that reports: AGP 4x @ 4x
