To get a better picture of such top-of-the-line AGP GPU performance,
when comparing to others GPUs on Unvanquished GPU compatibility matrix:
https://wiki.unvanquished.net/wiki/GPU_compatibility_matrix

we can see the ATI Radeon HD 4670 AGP (RV730 XT, TeraScale 1) performs:

- better than the PCI Express ATI Radeon HD 7450 from Q1 2012 (RV910, Caicos, 
TeraScale 2),
- like the mobile Nvidia GeForce GT 740M from Q2 2013 with nvidia driver (NVE7, 
GK107M, Kepler),
- like the mobile Quadro K1100M from Q3 2013 with nvidia driver (NVE7, 
GK107GLM, Kepler),
- like the integrated Intel HD 4600 from Q1 2014 (i7-4810MQ, Haswell, Gen7 GT2),
- like the integrated Intel HD 520 from Q3 2015 (i3-6100U, Skylake, Gen9 GT2),
- like the PCI Express GeForce GTX 1050 Ti from Q4 2016 when running the 
nouveau driver (Pascal).

On Nvidia side, to outperform this GPU on Linux with the free open
source nouveau driver it is required to acquire at least a GeForce GTX
1060 from 2016 (NV136, GP106-300-A1, Pascal).

Intel users may had to wait for the UHD 600 series (2016) to outperform
this ATI AGP GPU. To this day the first verified Intel GPU that is known
to outperform this ATI AGP GPU is the UHD 620 from Q3 2019.

Title:
  AGP GPU on PCI mode (when AGP is disabled at kernel build time) known
  to fail on K8 and K10 platforms

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug is to track specific issues faced by AGP GPUs when running as
  PCI devices (when AGP support is disabled at kernel build time),
  unless otherwise proven it is believed fixing #1902795 (PCI GPUs
  support being broken) may not fix all issues for AGP GPUs running as
  PCI ones (more to come on that topic).

  See related bugs:

  > PCI graphics broken on AMD K8/K10 platform (while it works on Intel) 
verified from Linux 4.4 to 5.10-rc1

  > AGP disablement leaves GPUs without working alternative (PCI fallback is 
broken), makes very-capable ATI TeraScale GPUs unusable
