I am referring to THIS THREAD, among others in which people discussed future AGP parts.

How lovely that after all your condescending BS you all spouted (you know who you are) there is a x1950 AGP hitting the market. And in your wisdom, your pronouncements were OVER A YEAR AGO.

You must be so proud!

Dude, AGP sucks. And this is coming from a guy that still has an AGP board and video card.

Umm... it pretty much is gone... 1 video card that costs 2x as much as the same version in PCI-E version.

There are no others. And the 1900 is an old card... the AGP version just comes out now after how long it has been out?

By dead they did not mean no more AGP cards they meant almost gone as they would have not been all gone in 1 day.

I 'd put money on some type of directx 10 card.

well ... yes ... thank-you ... i *am* quite proud of my correct analysis
:cool:

and, told you so :p
:lips:

:D

nvidia and some other manufacturers tried to force AGP out of the market PREMATURELY by only making top GPUs "PCIe only" ... ATi read my posts here and realized there was a demand [yeah, sure] and NOW AGP will die a normal Final Death ... slowly and painfully

now that we have *history* out of the way

... AGP is dead ...

... unless they start making more of the *fastest* CPUs/MBs/RAM combos in AGP
--which i seriously doubt

Yeah, well I care. People that even discussed the question of whether AGP would go beyond X850 were told to shut up, get over it, etc etc, by flaming a-hooes, who are now flaming WRONG a-holes.

Wreck, there's nothing wrong with the ISA bus for video.

And, no ******, it ain't cutting edge, but the point is people were aggressively and insuling telling others there would be no more AGP parts. Get it?

Jeez.

Would AGP be enough to handle a CGA monitor and could I SLI a AGP and my PCI card together?

You win the "Most Pointless Flamebait Thread of the Month Award".

AGP is dead!

Just because you can buy a midrange card for AGP still, doesnt mean you're not wasting your money on a dead end platform.

When the best AGP card you can get is a X1950Pro or a 7900GS I'd hardly say AGP was alive and kicking.

EDIT: FYI, the same X1950Pro but in PCI-E form is $70 cheaper than its AGP brother. Good move sticking with AGP.

Not only are you stuck with the same CPU, motherboard and RAM with no upgrade options, but you also have to pay $70 more for the same GPU which offers even less performance than the PCI-E version.

Makes PERFECT sense to me.

the troll is strong with this one.

who cares....really?

welcome to October 2006, most of us AGP users have had one since late last year.

You cant get a 8800gtx in agp nor about the top 10 cards - it's effectively dead at the high end and selection below that is very sparse. Not dead but dying and paying more for it.

I don't see the sense in people crying on about AGP technology and letting it die an "honorable death" (wtf?). It's technology and there is a market for it. As long as there is a viable market, AGP will be in said market.

I'm not going to sit back in my chair, fold my arms and say, "ahhh-yep, Economics 101, guys". More like "Introduction to Common Sense", it seems most haven't set foot into that classroom yet, if ever.

It's not as viable as you think.

I'll say 3/4 of all fairly up to date PCs use AGP and PCI-E has 1/4. I just pulled those numbers out of my butt, but whatever.

90% of that 3/4 doesnt care, doesnt game or doesnt even know what a AGP or PCI-E slot is. Think about all the Dells and Compaqs and Gateways of the world. You AGP gamers are numerically outnumbered on both fronts.

Now tell me why ATI or Nvidia would spend the boat load of money it would take to produce AGP cards all the way up and down their product lines when the number of AGP users decreases DAILY.

The answer is: They wouldnt.

They're smarter than that. OEM companies like Dell, Gateway, Compaq, etc.. are all using PCI-E graphics cards and motherboards. I CHALLENGE you to find a OEM company that still puts AGP cards in their systems. After all, this is where Nvidia and ATI make all their money. The $400 here or there they get from gamers is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Do you think Nvidia became a multi-billion dollar company by selling video cards to Anandtech forum members?

You'll never see another mid-high end AGP card because in the end, ATI/Nvidia knows that you'll eventually upgrade to PCI-E and they'll make more money off of you when you buy a motherboard AND a high end video card from them instead of just a $200 AGP card that they're probably taking a loss on producing for you.

That's why AGP is dead.
