Best current AGP card?

[Kaido]

I see that most of the high-end graphics cards are going towards PCI Express; what's the best AGP card currently available?

The one that makes you get a PCI-express motherboard

The 7800GS.

I just glanced at Anand's 7800GS article again, and it doesn't look impressive at all. It looks like the ATI X850XTPE from 2004 is probably as good as AGP video cards are ever going to get. (Not sure what pricing is like on those, but you can probably pick up a used one from someone who's upgrading to something newer)

Hrm, can't find a dual-dvi unit. Next best card with dual-dvi?

Whoa, when did the 7800 come out? I thought the 6800's were best for AGP.

the best agp card i'd have to say is the 7800GS. but the X850XT/XTPE comes pretty damn close too.

so i'd say its a tie between those two cards.

i'd just get a 6800GS now, and upgrade to pci-e with a better video card.

I have the X850XT PE and its about $450 or so when I got mine, so in the price area of some PCI-E cards. It only has a single DVI.

850XTPE, it's an eye candy thing, not a frame rate thing.
