Please, did somebody tested AGP connector for this? ( which is in real PCI 66 MHz 32-bit bus in our Pegasos 2 )
According to AGP connector pinout, there are missing some PCI signals. Most important is LOCK#. I am not sure if we need this signal for graphics card or PCIe bridge. There are many working SATA, NIC and RAID PCI cards connected to AGP, but also many RAID cards not working, probably due to missing LOCK#.
In any case, I have passive AGP-to-PCI adapter and I can test something if needed.

@sailor I tedted those agp adapters from ebay few pages back: didnt work, but check for more info in previos posts about, maybe you will have some ideas.. i also wrote to author, but have no answer
@kas1e Thanks. I will read it and make some tests. At least I will try also some SATA cards in AGP connector, not to be unused if you manage to work a PCIe card in 33 MHz connector.
P.S.: this year was quite hectic for me health-wise and work-wise, so I hope that next year I will have a lot more time for Amigas.

@kas1e I have read this whole thread and there is only one thing that is not very clear to me. When you recommend the ‘pericom’ bridge, I see on startech.com that they only have a model that converts PCI to PCIe (short) so how the hell do you connect an HD/RX there? Or is it that there are graphics cards in PCie (mini) HD/RX ?

PCIe x1-x16 adapters are fairly inexpensive.

The Radeon 6450 seems to have been the last card available in PCI or PCIe x1 versions.

@Estrayk Yeah, as Rob and sailor point out i just use PCIe x1-x16 adapter, so it's out of the box for now. See how it looks like on this video: https://youtu.be/ArQVvVlz_a0?t=492
Starting from 8:12 till 8:25 you can see adapter fit into PCI, and then RadeonHD (in video it was RadeonHD) i put to adapter itself.
