What is the best graphics card guaranteed to be compatible with an AGP 1x/2x slot? (I know this is an ancient machine.)

According to the compatibility section of the wikipedia page pertaining to the AGP interface
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port ) some Nvidia Geforce 6200 agp cards are compatible with 1.5V agp slots. I'm currently using a 1.5V 4x card with exactly the same male connector as the 6200. Will this card be compatible with my motherboard. Please don't lecture me on how old this system is I have several modern machines capable of gaming. I want to improve this older one for the retro cool effect. Here is the 6200 I really want to buy.

What 1.5V 4x card are you currently using? Based on the Wiki, that card should not actually work, but I guess, as long as it has the 3.3V key in the pin layout, I guess the new 6200 should work.

I'm using the Nvidia geforce mx 420. I know it's a 4x card card because in GPU-Z it says it is a 4x card running at 2x speeds.

Nevermind I bought a cheaper geforce fx5500 which i just confirmed on some ancient forum that is compatible with the agp 1x slot. It only has half of the memory as the 6200 but i'm sure I woldn't notice the difference seeing as this computer is a relic of the days of old.

If anyone is still curious it is the Nvidia Geforce 7950GT but they are very rare. The Nvidia Geforce 7600GS is compatible and it's the card I'm using right now. It must have the 3.3 volt key.

I have the installation video on my youtube channel if you're interested.
