Gecube launches "fastest" AGP card, announces DX10 boards to come
At CeBIT, GECUBE demonstrated what it claims to be the fastest AGP board to date, the GC-HX195XTGA3-D3.
This board is based on a fully-fledged R580+ GPU, marketed as the Radeon X1950XT. However, the GPU clock has been changed from the default 625MHz to 648MHz. ATI Overdrive is supported, and this option in the Catalyst driver will increase clock all the way to 675MHz. The card uses 256MB of GDDR3 memory. Product manager Jeff Fu said the firm "will not abandon AGP users".
GECUBE also proudly announced what will make many AGP users very happy: AGP DX10.

agp is done. it is inferior to pci-e in data rates, lanes, and not to mention pci-e is the only native interface on video cards today. only those with the best parts for agp systems should buy this card.
by the way erocker amd is on to am2. skt 939 ran for years as top dog, and its time for change. you cant expect 1 socket to be in use for 10 years. its like expecting intel to continue making skt7 cpus...
