legit Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 hey all, so i may be a little behind the times here but it doesn't seem that the new vid cards are being released on agp, is agp dead? or are agp cards just delayed out of the gates? - legit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 technically yes, virtually no. 583889[/snapback] It's not dead yet, but it seems no new video cards will have agp versions. I know nvidia pretty much said they're sticking with pci-e...I'm not sure what ati's stance is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifty11212 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 its dead but its alive to those who are willing to spend like $300 on a 3 year old top of the line card when you can get a 7800gt for around that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotskillz2688 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 wasn't there a rumor a while back that ati "might" produce an agp version of new cards (the ones with the r520 chips)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 agp 8x/4x Pro? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 agp 8x/4x Pro? 583934[/snapback] those are what macs are using and voltage wise would instantly kill a regular agp8/4x card if you happen to jam the card in to the slot which is diff from the regular agp slot.
