Pentium 4 setup, avoid bottleneck?

[Izlude]

Hey all, Planning to pull my old P4 outta the garage and make it a vintage game box.  McGee's Alice, Shogo, No One Lives Forever etc.  WHAT is highest GPU I can put on it before I hit the bottleneck issue?  Meaning, should I avoid a Radeon 2400HD and buy something less because the setup simply won't take advantage of the bandwidth?  CPU is a Northwood 2.8,  this would be the motherboard:

Also what's the LAST supported game that plays at a good speed on such a setup?  Thanks!!

 Looks like the last P4 was released in 2005. Looking at the best high-end graphics card for 2005 I found..

That mobo only supports AGP.

 

So your mission is to locate the most advanced AGP GPU ever made which will not be easy. AFAIK, ATI/AMD was the last GPU manufacturer to support AGP.

 

Which is probably a HD 3850 or HD 4670 - I think the HD 4670 was the very last GPU ever made by humanity for the AGP bus.

 

Both those GPUs will be starved by your 2.8 in some games but it is still worth getting for the max headroom.

 

Unless the Ebay gods like you a lot it will be hard to get a good deal on those two cards if you can find them at all since they didn't make very many in the twilight days of AGP.
