Well... it seems like it's not AGP not dead yet but the deadline had been prolonged with AGP-bridged card.

I'm using 7600GT on AGP... to me, the difference is tremendous, in fact, the heat and noise level decrease with the decrease in the core gate size.

Somehow, this new product would be strictly for UPGRADE market. Enthusiast would have long opt for PCI-E (money-not-a-problem-class) while the low-end would opt for on-board, leaving their PCI-E slot empty for the moment.

User like me on Athlon XP 2600+ DTR is more than enough. Let those who are still on S754/S939 who are still having AGP slot or those running Athlon FX chip, this might be cheaper than changing the whole thing. Remember, a whole system revamp doesn't necessary a whole new performance experience, for the price paid on the WHOLE SYSTEM instead of paid SOLELY ON GPU, think the difference would be tremendous on the latter.

There are still a lot of people on AGP so a DX10 AGP card make sense. However, I think Nvidia/ATI will only release low-end or maybe at the most, mid-end cards. Don't hope for any high end AGP card as the cost is more, the power requirements may not be enough and the AGP slot will seriously be bottle-necked....

If somebody has $$$ for a high-end AGP, they would have upgraded to PCI-E already!!!

like me total is 1420 exactly 4 1 mobo 1 processor 1 new SATA harddisk n 1 8500GT i would have gotten e6600 if i can dig the bank deeper s 4 AGP users,low 2 mid end plus bottleneck would b the only adequate choice now n gd luck in that

don't think that is a good strategy, look a good news for agp users

any1 know where to find highend agp like 7900 agp...dont want to upgrade the system yet

7900 was never introduced in AGP variant.

There is an 7950GT AGP..forget what's the brand already.If 8 series AGP comes out,7800 or 7600 series price will be adjusted accordingly.

There is XFX 7950GT AGP but nowhere to be found in Malaysia.

yeah..even x1950 oso got on AGP ...
anyway, there will be some ppl will buy an AGP card for their old PC..
if not , why they release such product in first place..?
