The revolutionary and innovative G.E.A.R. (GIGABYTE Enhance AGP Riser) interface provides an additional interface for traditional AGP Graphics card on Intel chipset based PCI Express solution motherboard. It supports most of the AGP Graphics card available in the market from AGP 4X to AGP 8X graphics card.
Note:
Please remove the sticker on the G.E.A.R. slot before inserting your AGP graphics card.
G.E.A.R. interface is designed to provide a temporary AGP solution before the mass availability of PCI Express graphics card. It is suggested to use PCI Express X 16 interface graphics card to avoid the damage of your AGP graphics card.
G.E.A.R. interface is created through PCI interface signal and voltage switching to AGP interface, due to this technical specification difference, it might cause AGP graphics card life-span shortens.
