Answer:

The AGP and PCI-E both are video/graphic cards. Both of them have few differences that are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. AGP stands for Accelerated Graphics Port and PCI-E stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express.
  2. AGP card uses the system's memory to complete its operation, while on the other hand PCI-E uses the only memory that is available on the card.
  3. AGP does not share the network bandwidth with other device while on the other hand, PCI-E shares its bandwidth with other devices.
  4. AGP is 4 times slower than PCI-E.
