Agp 8x Grafikkarte In 4x Slot

Can I Put An 8x AGP Card In My 4x AGP Slot? I Think The Power Voltage Is The Same. Joined Jun 19, 2004 Messages 7,800. Sep 15, 2005 #2. Like I said in the other thread 8X AGP uses 0.8v signaling and 4X AGP uses 1.5v. While the 0.7v difference may not seem like a lot it actually is quite a bit. 8X cards may work in 4X slots but if not initially damaged from the overvoltage they would prob degrade much faster than would be normal.

Agp 8x Card In 4x Slot

I just bought a new video card for a computer in out bar, and I didn't notice that the computer's AGP slot is 4x max. (It is in a tight area, so it is one of those compact compaq desktops)
The card is an 8x AGP card and the slot is apparently 4x max. Is there a way to get this card to work in this computer? A 4x AGP low-profile video card with dual monitor output is hard to find at all, let alone something with decent RAM.
I don't remember the model of the computer off hand...I'll reply with that later. Video card is a geforce 4 128 MB DDR low-profile 8x AGP, dell part number F1811.
Thanks,
Mike
