I know, I know, AGP is dead.

But for those who doesn't think so, take a look at these links:

wow.....kinda interesting!
Since 1950 has agp one,nvidia must launch a gc with almost same standard baru can fight.

aiyo, no wonder dx10 card will not be in agp
anyway, nice to have high end card dx9 on agp

Why are they still focusing on the 7 series?
8600Ultra IIRC supports AGP connections- although likely it's up to the cardmakers themselves to get the implementation done. X26/X23 supports Rialto as usual too.

Edit: I get it now.

price rm9xx-1xxx ..

hmm~ high end gc in agp interface .

Eh? Is it in Malaysia already? Anybody interested to do bulk??

and where can i still find agp card? i went lyp yesterday can't find much... only got this palit 7300gt card...

is this coming to malaysia?

X.E.D are u sure 8 series card got agp?

Already know bout the agp version for quite some time. Not something new actually

Hmm, it seems nVidia's bridge chips are screwed. So no-one can do it- for now.
ATi's should work okay. I predict 2 months after launch- with the usual suspect AGP vendors (Powercolor etc.) and overcharging.

But damnit, after they cut off Geforce FX support for Vista, I'm desperate to get a nice card to run Dreamscene.

WTF nak lawan agp X1950PRO kot can anyone tell me should i ditch my current old AGP card 4 this or just upgrade 2 PCIE mobo

Ditch your old card with this one AND get another PCIE mobo

hahaha thats what i m toking about man actually my new system is ready but i still hvnt collect yet

well,if the price is almost same with pcie 7950GT,i rather go for pcie lo....since agp mobo is kinda old nowadays.....

Yeah get PCIE card instead.

no bottle necking at AGP bus?

lolz... can single core fully use the potential...?
1950pro or 7950gt in agp slot...

i think nVIDIA wanna finish all it's 7 series card with AGP and PCI-e

I thought that was old news already, released last month, what I am interested is the 8 series AGP version rumors to be released, so is the R600 AGP version.

And here we are, thinking that AGP is dead......

It will bottleneck for sure

u can OC the proc gao gao n end the proc life the next day 4 max p4mans

the card release yet?

Was searching around and found this (see hyperlinks below on 7950 GT vs 1950 pro).

Basically these are the specs for both cards:

------------------------------1950 PRO------------------7950 GT

Core clock: ----------------575 Mhz--------------------550 Mhz
Memory clock: ------------1.38 Ghz--------------------1.4 Ghz
Memory interface: --------256-bit----------------------256-bit
Memory transfer rate:----44.16 Gb/s------------------44.8 Gb/s
Pixels per clock:-----------36---------------------------24

Looks like both of them are almost similar (naturally, so that Nvidia can compete with ATI!), but the pixels per clock is more for 1950pro.

Wished there were reviews on how these cards compare to each other.

ya, the card is not cheap...
at that range i wonder if ppl stil want it


Chow.

If i still stuck wif old AGP system i'll definately giv a major upgrade instead of buying a high-end AGP graphic card
buy a new PCI-E based system n a 8600series will do better, support dx10 also

Errrr.... major upgrade yes, but I think better not get a 8600 series. Look at the review below (comparison between 8800 GTS, 8600 GTS and 1950pro)

As for me, I hope to skip DDR2 and straight to DDR3 + quad core!!! Possible???

1 card of these can almost get 320mb 8800gts wo go figure

yeah.. i dunno in agp version.. but from my personal experience in pcie, 7950GT is wayy better than X1950Pro... seriously..

wow
what a big leap in ur upgrade
anyway it's good idea also
if u feel comfort wif u AGP system for this cuming 1-2 years then it's fine coz quad-core will becum mainstream roughly 1-2 years after this

I support you on this one, mate! Although I had to upgrade my AGP to GF7600GT from a GF4, as the latter was really dated.

At this time, I'm not too compelled to upgrade to Vista/DX10 yet, as the platform still needs to mature. Most games still run into problems with Vista, and needs compatibility mode to run.

As far as performance is concerned, I think my systems can still hold their own when it comes to gaming -- I mean, can the avergae person tell the difference between 60 FPS and 90 FPS? I doubt it ...

Might as well save up and get a 45 nanometer quad core (or more) Penryn proc when it comes out later this year/early next year. It's only a few months away ...

maybe this one can beat x1950pro agp, but i pretty sure that this one can't beat x1950xt agp from gecube...

well,u see,i rather go for a pcie mobo and upgrade to 8800GTS 320MB version lo.

ya... pci-e deliver more bandwith, it bout double agp 8x, now upcoming pci-ex 2.0 double current pci-e 16x bandwith, it look agp 8x out of date...
