???? AGP vs PCI for TNT2

[Guest]

Ive got a older system, 350 PII, and had an ATI 8MB AGP card. Bought a TNT2 32MB card from eBay, and the guy sent me a 32MB Vanta PCI card instead of the AGP card.
The reason why I wanted to upgrade was so I could play DeusEx, and the card seems to be working just fine in the PCI slot. So is it worth it to send it back and get the AGP card? Is there really that much difference?

By the way, some of these cards I read about are Vanta, some M64, some say TNT2, whats the difference

Thanks guys

Whoever you got that Vanta from, they totally ripped you off. Go complain to eBay. A TNT2 and a Vanta are two different chipsets both manufactured by nVIDIA.

Vanta is the lower end of the two and should definately be returned. It isn't even AGP!!! That makes a big difference as well 'cause PCI would limit the memory bandwidth the chipset was designed to take advantage of.

These might be of some use:
