AGP cards?

depends on what settings you want. If you want high settings, that might only happen for 6 months if even that. If you can live with low settings at 640*480, it might be able to last 2 to 3 years. don't know about medium though.

You may be correct if card manufacturers can think up more ways to screw agp users than they already have put into effect.

i have a rig with a g2 that can run wow... 12x10 with medium settings... lol

its just for those AF AA whores that need to upgrade every 3 months lol
 
i agree, agp was thrown out too quickly way before u can even use the full bandwith......

im still on AGP and it still does very well, like i have no complaints .. sure its not a 7800GT or anything but i upgrade maybe once a year for minor things and 2 years for major so its just hype and i wish they iddnt just throw it out.. i guess pci-e may be cheaper for manufacturers to make rather than having both thus they try to get people off agp

It think it's also the fact that manu's make more money when standards change - why just sell someone a motherboard when you can tell them they need the motherboard, videocard, and power supply?

Having said that, PCIe supposedly has benefits - SLI (admittedly, another profit-maximizing scheme) and also things like Turbocache, who knows in the future maybe using VRAM as main memory....
