7600GS in AGP has shown up on Newegg

[BoberFett]

There were some rumors floating around about the 7600GS coming in AGP soon, here are two at Newegg:

EVGA

Asus

For those of us clinging to our aging AGP systems, the 7800GS seems like overkill. As a final upgrade for my Athlon 2500+, I don't know if spending $250+ more for a video card is worth it. At $150, I'm considering it.

Ouch, be careful!! The EVGA one looks very nice with 400MHz core and 800MHz memory w/12 pipes.

The Asus one has 400MHz core and 500MHz memory. Yuck!! Stay away from this overpriced piece of crap.

stick with the evga's version like deveybrat had said. 500 MHZ on memory OUCH

You sure they aint quoting the true Mhz?

Could this not be 1000Mhz DDR as opposed to the 800Mhz (definitely DDR speed) on the other card?

No, actually that is it's DDR rate. Text

You have to be careful of ASUS when it comes to video cards. They seem inordinately fond of pulling this type of sh!t, though usually they also have a better model also (not this time it would appear).

Oh, and I love the overview page...

Graphics Chip Key Features
Powered by the world?s most powerful GPU - nVidia® GeForce 7600GS

Gee, who am I to argue with that?

Price seems a bit steep compared to its PCI-e couterparts, but I suppose that's the way it goes on a fading graphics bus. Should still be a very good AGP card for the midrange, especially if overclocked closer to GT speeds (minus mem).

You can get better AGP cards nothing to be excited about
