Believe it or not, not everyone buys their PC components on GAMING FPS only.
If I have a workstation for video editting/encoding, CAD, and photoshop. The FireGL X3 does 2x dual link for running 2 massive screens, and I want to render, or encode, or multi-task, and I can switch to QUAD CORE 2 using an Asrock board, without the need to replace my memory or GPU.
There is way too much emphasis on the term "GPU bottleneck", when, in every application except gaming, the bottleneck is the CPU.
The thread is about continued support to DEBUG THE DRIVERS of existing AGP cards. No-one is demanding the manufacturers to keep making the latest GPUs available on AGP.
