Why won't you die AGP!?
LOL I agree, but there must be a market or else these company's would not put them out there.
AGP since when?
Place your bets here.
I bet that AGP won't die before 2012.
It might not die, but putting together a 8800GTX with a single core or something would be a waste of money. If you have some to waste, it's your wallet, the sky is the limit ;-)
It would make sense if AGP cards were cheaper. But they aren't; just like Athlon XP is more expensive than Celeron D.
hehehe.. AGP.. :) but i think some would buy this.. for their sisters.. :D
Are we all forgetting the workstations still using Dual core AMD opterons on AGP mobos ??
Some companies weren't as hasty to leave their prior platforms with no dual core compatibility :wasntme:
I'm gonna get it from Dil now :p

my bro's trusty xeon 1.6lv @ 2.6 on a asus pc-dl is still agp :D
because there are a lot of people that doesnt have resources to upgrade old motherboards and processors and need a good VGA.Quote:

If I had money and play some new games,I'd buy it to my lil axp :P
it was cool someone trying this cards on for example axp@2.5ghz,p4 @3.6ghz,a64@2.4ghz and some "tipical" "old" systems
but why would those AGP workstation machines need new cards?Quote:

alot of the people that will buy these cards will b the people that cant count.
i know people that stil got a decent AGP machine. They since PCI-e came out bought 2 new AGP cards wich were terribly overpriced compaired to equal PCI-e cards.
they could have upgraded their motherboards to PCI-e and would have even saved money.
1 of them could have a while ago sold his CPu, mobo, ram and GPu and bought a equal AM2 setup and would have money left (overhere 2nd hand prices on DDR are higher then new prices of DDR2).
AGP will die after floppy drive first. :p:
Many workstations have high end rendering GPUs. Workstations are used heavily for 3D work toQuote:

Since only a few games make use of DC or QC, it doesn't matter much.
Also, these are not 8800GTX-level cards.
Right now, I'm happy with my A-XP2400+ and 6800GS AGP, games run fine with
good settings, I can even play Oblivion @ High with HDR and still decent fps.
Given how much the current Dx10 midrange sucks (128 bit? :rolleyes: ), I'm only
upgrading when decent 2nd gen Dx10 cards come out at good prices.
where there's money there's ppl to make them.. i wonder how many ppl will actually get these cards.. they may be the only dx10 cards for agp but making them is not encouraging the move to pcie completely imo
Low budget cards for AGP is good, but high-end for AGP is useless.
I can use a 2400PRO for my old AGP system
Agreed, work computer has a high end AGP workstation card in it. Man what a pain since I'd have a better card if I'd have a PCI-E compatible mobo oh well.Quote:
