No.

All this AGP-"Mess" was only created to be able to have fast access to
texture-images located in the main memory of the PC. So, again, the
gaming fraction were the peolpe screaming for more bandwidth, not the
normal Users.

The bandwidth of the PCI-Bus is enough so 1600x1200 with 24bit can be
transported into the video card (and a lot more is possible), so there
should be no problems with 720x568 at whatever color depth.
