Advanced Graphics Riser

All you want to know about Advanced Graphics Riser

The Advanced Graphics Riser is a variation of the AGP port used in some PCIe motherboards made by MSI to offer a limited backwards compatibility with AGP. It is, effectively, a modified PCIe slot allowing for performance comparable to an AGP 4x/8x slot [1], but with limited support of AGP cards. The manufacturer has published a non-exhaustive compatibility list of cards and chipsets that do work with the modified slot.
