Just bought myself a ASUS A7V 8X Motherboard everything is running wonderfully.

However, wondering when the new video cards will be out to take advantage of the AGP speed i have on my MB.

Specifically i would want a 128MB with DVD & TV out high end gameing video card, is there one out there already ?
If not anyone got any idea wants coming up, and whether to wait etc etc

There are already AGP 8X capable graphics cards available and have been for months now. The SiS Xabre was the first widely available AGP 8X capable graphics card, but both nVidia and ATi have since launched boards.
nVidia specifically has the GF4MX 440-8X, and GF4 Ti4200-8X. They've recently launched AGP 8X capable versions of the GF4 Ti4600 and 4400, named the GF4 Ti4800/4800SE respectively.
ATi has the Radeon 9500/9500Pro and the Radeon 9700/9700Pro.
