$209

mitodna

but at least provide some hope for agp users to get a taste on it

wah...600 at core...how can it be???mine top out at only 560....

So that's 209 times 3.8 equals to Rm794.2 ? 6600GT these days are ranging from Rm600 to Rm700. Value making not really I think .... but if X800GTO performs WAY better then 6600GT then I don't mind getting one.

alamak time to sell my x700pro
and move to x800gto..if got agp lah
if dont have...then no need

bad news.
not all x800gto can be flashed to x850xt.

only "Sapphire X800 GTO²" can unlock the extra 4 pipelines

Why should AGP die already? Because it is a doomed technology. Many people may be using it, the majority of which phail to see that a system upgrade would be much better than merely a GC upgrade.

Let it die already, so that the industries can use mroe time for new and more products than converting existing ones to AGP.

bcoz not all of us are rich like u
where can buy the latest technology

like me...im still a student
and i cannot change many things at one time
bcoz i use my own money

doomed technology?
same goes to PCIe, it's just the matter of time.
for your info, more than 70% of current pc users are still using AGP based system.

And I suppose those PCs will be buying >RM200 graphic cards, right?

who say below RM200
my one i use the mid-range card
i bought 6600gt @ RM720
and x700pro @ RM728

70% of the PCs that supposedly are on AGP, thereof, probably 65% are in offices. Do you think they'd spend anything over RM100 per graphics card?

so what?
it'd be the same if all of them are using pcie.

if all manufacturers stop producing agp cards now, it'll be a terrible news for those agp users(especially for the poor ones including me).
i know you are rich and can upgrade anytime you want, but please take consider of the others.
i can't imagine what would be the world like if most of the people like you.

Just to make it clear, I'm not rich. I'm still on an AGP platform using a 9550.

I have a P4 2.8GHz capable of utilizing these cards...so does many of my friend who are still running on a APG system but with some mainstream processing power such as P4 3.0-3.2 GHz....these are the cards we turn to when we're looking for an upgrade....nVidia didn't come out with 6600GT APG version for no reason if the market wasn't there...

The simple and pure reason why I want AGP to die is because the less platforms you have, the easier it is to manufacture new stuff. PCI-E is the one with the bigger d*** in comparison to AGP, so let it be the dominating platform. I rest my case here.

then you better pray that PCIe will stay forever for us.

after 2 or 3 years, i think you will come again and say you want PCIe to die.

Nothing wrong with that. Technology moves on.

of course.

but there still got poor people who cannot upgrade the whole platform(mobo and vga) at one time.

but it's just an unavoidable trend.
i hope this trend won't speed up when the time goes on.
