This Inno3D card is the first picture of the AGP 6600GT I've ever seen. I definitely looks different from any other AGP card I've ever seen, obviously due to the bridge. I know the PCIe version has the onboard video processor enabled, but does anyone know if the AGP version will, too?

One other thing, I noticed eVGA will be selling an AGP version of the 6600GT with HDTV output support (i.e. an S-Video to HD component cable adapter). Can anyone confirm this for eVGA or any other nVIDIA channel partner? I emailed eVGA for an ETA and to find out if the AGP version will actually support HDTV output, and the rep who replied gave a sort of shady answer (something to the effect that some 6600's will support HDTV out and some will not...no sh*t!).

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That is odd, I expected them to have the bridge on the GPU package like they did with some of the FX\PCX cards.

I think it looks cool - smart design by Nvidia; they perfectly accomodate the memory chips and bridge chip, and it makes the card look unique in the process.

If I didn't get an X800 Pro recently, this is the card that I was looking into (I'm quite happy with my X800 though ).
