CoolMaster Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Like in yalls opinion, when do you think AGP is gonna go away, and PCI-E will take over? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Like in yalls opinion, when do you think AGP is gonna go away, and PCI-E will take over? 477212[/snapback] Seeing as they are still making all the newest cards in AGP, and they still dont use all the bandwidth, I think AGP still has some life left in it . Until SLI/AMR becomes a more affordable option, I think AGP will still be available for a while now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolMaster Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Do you think PCI-E will be the wave of the future, or it will go out soon also? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigmatic Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 probably the next gen of cards the highest end cards agp will bottleneck so only pci-e for the highest, but on mid-high cards agp will still be acceptable, then it will slowly move down through the next gens. Like 2 generations from now maybe only the mid-range cards will be able to be agp without any bottlenecking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbone2sk Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 lets just say that pci-e is the future, and the new r520 core when it comes out will only come out in pci-e. If I told you how it benches I would have to kill you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidst Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I think March of 2006 will be the end of Agp anything and Com ports and Parrael ports will be totally out Jan 2007. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNothing Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 i think it will be quite a while before AGP is gone, but i think that the OCing boards will all move to PCI-E and AGP OCing boards will become scarce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 As current PCI-E solutions don't even utilize the maximum bandwidth of the x16 BUS, I'd say it would be another year or so before AGP dies. We'll soon know that as soon as motherboard manufacturers stop making i865PE boards with socket 775 / AGP combinations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Goonie Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 if you go to any best buy, comp usa or whatever your major computer store is in your area...you should notice that ALL of their new computers have ONLY PCI-Express video cards if not just plain onboard video. Consider AGP already faded my friends. Yes, the video card manufacturers may offer a similar version of the PCI-Express for a few more months..but i think they have thrown in the towel on the AGP market. As it is pushing the "obsolete" factor, it makes people feel their computers aren't capable of the latest technology regarding multimedia...so it pushes the envelope for people to buy a WHOLE new computer. Way of the world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
