QUOTE(Mr_47 @ Sep 12 2005, 02:33 PM) any news for agp mode?????? Reading your specs, I'd recommend you to upgrade your platform first. No point fueling V-Power into an old beetle. |

I seriously hope they don't make an AGP version. Let it die in peace already!

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. |

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?

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Sep 19 2005, 10:47 PM) so what? Just to make it clear, I'm not rich. I'm still on an AGP platform using a 9550.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.  |

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.

QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Sep 20 2005, 02:52 PM) wow, seems like a debate is goin on in here Yeah, but unlike graphic cards, you can put a cd in a DVD rom drive. I can't put an AGP card into a PCI-E slot, now can I?If the market for AGP is still there, then releasing AGP would be good. For example, if ATi doesn't produce AGP card anymore and Nvidia is still producing them then of course Nvidia will gain more profit. BTW, the 700MB CD-ROM is an old tech and we dun see it dying at all even though 4.7GB DVD and 30~50GB next-gen DVD is introduced. Compatibility is the issue here. By forcing consumers to adhere to one standard, technological progresses will be made easier. |
