PowerColor HD 4770 AGP Gets Listed, Fastest AGP Card in the Making?
ATI looks to be still in the mood to cater to the dying breed of AGP motherboard users. A Radeon HD 4770 graphics card made by PowerColor surfaced on Amazon.com (model: 1A1-G000004992), that boasts of support for the AGP interface, although a picture of the PCI-E variant accompanies it. The store claims it to be in stock, and priced at US $99, although PowerColor's website has no trace of it. We are in the process of finding out more about this card.
If indeed PowerColor made such a card, AGP users have something to rejoice: the fastest AGP accelerator, one that puts them into the current-generation of GPUs. The card features 640 stream processors, is DirectX 10.1 compliant, and features 512 MB of GDDR5 memory across a 128-bit memory interface. Until now, the fastest AGP card from ATI is the Radeon HD 3850 AGP. Update (05/13): PowerColor responded to this article saying that the product is falsely advertised, and that the company neither has an HD 4770 AGP accelerator, nor is it currently in the works. In the course of the conversation however, the company disclosed that it is working on products based on the Radeon HD 4600 series (HD 4650, HD 4670) that are AGP-compatible.

If this is released I wonder if ATI/AMD will actually make some functional AGP drivers instead of having to use that old hotfix driver for AGP cards.

Becuase they either refuse to upgrade or don't see any need.

Because if the modern games are L4D and CoD4 it can be done quite well. But I see your point.

Not sure why they would bother with a 4650 version... since it would be slower than the 3850. Might as well stick with one SKU and the 3850 rather than introduce a new SKU with lower performance. ![]() Perhaps the excitement will encourage them to do an AGP 4770 or 4830 after all. |

True, but cheaper to make, and possibly cheaper off the shelf.
