SWEET!!!

agp lives! lol

wiak · Nov 29, 2006

woot
this might be slower than the pcie x16 version

but WOOT AGP?

kakazza · Nov 29, 2006

Very nice, especially due to the fact that the cooler doesn't seem to be 2-slot

tofu · Nov 29, 2006

AGP Yeeha!

AGP 8X lives! :rockout:

EDIT: but w/ dx10 coming out, will this thing sell like hotcakes anymore?

should be cheap then...and i bet there is gonna be a few agp dx10 cards.

Jimmy 2004 · Nov 29, 2006

Yeah, hopefully nice and cheap because of low demand

If they make a DX10 card for AGP I'll be impressed, I honestly thought they were giving up on it after the 7x00 and X1x00 series took so long to become AGP.

lemonadesoda · Nov 29, 2006

This card has been out in Europe for a couple of weeks already. Prices are pretty good. According to specifications, its FASTER than the PCIe16 version. (Because of higher stock clocks

Best prices here http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a223127.html

TXcharger · Nov 30, 2006

i wanna hold off till i find out if theyr gonna make DX10 agp cards

xvi · Nov 30, 2006

Aww.. I was pretty proud on having a X850 XT AGP. I thought it'd be the fastest ATI AGP card out there. Time to start saving again..

Makaveli · Nov 30, 2006

Yes the AGP version is faster than the PCI E version!
as stated above, so that other guy is wrong. I was just considering making the move to PCI now I can just grab this instead. I love my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum board.

Batou1986 · Nov 30, 2006

hells yea im getin one

KennyT772 · Nov 30, 2006

how could this be faster...? there is no mention of clockspeeds.

either way it just proves ati wants every last dollar and cent it can get!

Makaveli · Nov 30, 2006

There was mention of it running faster clocks than the PCI E version. I will have to look for the link. something like 575 core for PCIE and 600core for the AGP version.

I love the way u say that too. Well duh what is a business suppose to do not want your money, so they can go belly up! The demand is still there for AGP, there are far more AGP board in in use than PCI E.

wrong! ati only makes the chip, gecube does the pcb <---which includes the interface.

Namslas90 · Nov 30, 2006

If it wasn't made by Ge(cube) I would by one, but i've had bad luck with the cubes in the past. Mostly driver problems but A 1600 I bought was RMA'd twice and still never worked right so I sold it.

tkpenalty · Nov 30, 2006

ATI will probably make DX10 AGP GPUs which dont completely rely on the processor, unlike nVidia's offering which totally has no chance of making it onto an AGP slot.

I think they should make a specialised range for AGP, not being Radeon

VisionTek are making a version too

Hah, I'm in the same boat as you =)

Now it has become really tempting to postpone the move to PCIe again

nice...

powercolor is releaseing also.

evil bill · Nov 30, 2006

ah - that's why I can find the Sapphire link, because it was Powercolor I was thinking of :eek:

Frederik S · Nov 30, 2006

NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE!!!

No seriously I think it will perform just as good as its PCI-E equivalents!
AGP 8x wasn't a bottleneck at all when the industry moved on the PCI-E.

WarhammerTX · Dec 1, 2006

If things are the way it has been in the past the agp will be faster just like the X850XTagp was faster than its pcie counterpart. But you also have to take in consideration that all the faster cpus are made for the newer mb that use the pcie slot. The only reason I changed over to pcie was to get a faster vid card if they would have put these out sooner I would not have changed for at least another year. Ive got the X1950pro now and I like it. Its not the best overclocker Ive ever owned but it is fast. The only drivers out at the moment are Ati and ati tool doesnt recognize the card yet. You guts probably already know this but here is a good comparison chart on the vid cards.
