yeah, its time to sell the agp boards and move along while you can still get some decent money money for them.

either that, or just accept mid-low high end cards as your best graphic option, which isn't too bad.

It will most likely be the first option for me. I can still sell my dfi n-force 3 board and pick up a dfi n-force 4x for almost even money after selling my old board. The price of the 7800 is too tempting to pass up.

The only problem is it will take me a weekend to reinstall an OS and all 50 apps. Not to mention troubleshooting any potential compatibility problems. :disgust:

QFT, i really like what i read about the 7800gs, a real option for me when it comes available, but i hate to switch boards and start all over again trying to find that "sweet spot" like i did with my DFI.

thats only a good idea for people with very recent high end agp cards. I have a 9800Pro and it doesn't matter when I sell it. I can get $80 or a little more for it right now but it will probably bottom out in the $50 range in the near future (till no one wants them 5 years from now and they are junked).

Accepting mid-low high end cards as the best graphics option is the reasonable thing to do and I don't mind that at all. I am even willing to wait till the X850XT drops below the $250 (after mir) that you can get it for right now at Microcenter. I can play enemy territory at native res and maxed details already and that is what matters.
 
and another thing

Its more likely that the X1800 successor is released on agp because there are reports of poor yields with this gpu. They need the most amount of good die per wafer to maximize profit.

which agp card would anyone get for $500?
 
ahhh, the joys of buying middleware. I am still on a 9600XT, and by my next video upgrade I will moving to PCI-e. Sucks for all you AGP guys, but seriously, you had to see this coming. If not, you were the people that tried to grasp on to VL bus, even though PCI had no benefits, or said poo-poo to AGP, because it had no benefit over PCI. (Maybe less on that, AGP was largely untapped on its' release, and many months afterwards. I know it sucks to bite the bullet, but this is the way technology works. There will be a new standard out before all of PCI-e bandwidth is tapped out. This is just the way it goes, I'm just gald I held back on that 6800GT I almost bought. My vid card is getting along prtty good for the games I want to play, another advantage of being poor; the newest game I have is BF2.
 
Geez some of you guys would still have us using PC100 ram and 28K modems. Upgrade and quit your whinning. Great boards are less than $100 right now - Insignifigant really compared to cost of cards you're looking at.. and you won't have this problem yet again next time the next gen graphics come out.

I really hope I don't hear this every generation from now on from you AGP holdouts...getting old already

Hear what?

rational discussion about future products? The thread is clearly titled so if you don't like it don't click on it and spam elsewhere

this is a sweet victory for me, in ways that are out of my control.. but it it feels good nontheless.. time to pony up the money NOW because you refused to do so before AGP peeps :thumbsup:

I love how your signature has the a link to a PCI 6200.
 
I bought my 6800GT when it was first released & I was still running a 2.4ghz AXP/NF2 system & its lasted until now in an NF3 Ultra/A64 & does fine running FEAR & Quake 4 at reasonable framerates & IQ & that card doesn't owe me a thing ... while I don't NEED a new GPU yet, I'd buy one much sooner if I wasn't being forced to replace my mb at the same time, not because of the cost so much as the time & hassle involved in gutting & rebuilding my PC.

when people are talking of wanting 7800gtx's and x1800's in agp,..those cards are towards the range of 500 dollars,some even more..so if those would come in agp,..and some would buy em,..just because they are agp,...it makes little sense to not be sporting pci-e, that was the point,...and not to mention you would be buying a card with cut features,...SLi wouldnt even be an option,and whether or not it's what your looking into right away,..its nice to have a high cieling of options for you to go with an exsisting card youve already bought
 
those cards don't exist in agp form so what price they would sell for is speculation. I don't think ATI will come out with its current product in agp because yields aren't looking good. I agree with Budarow's analysis in that if they do come out with next gen parts for agp, they would try to market them at a lower price (he stated $300 and I think that is reasonable and maybe up to $350). It would have lower cost parts on it (most likely ram) and maybe not as many pipelines (or vertex shader or other features) but as long as it could perform substantially better than the X850XT they should be able to convince a decent amount of agp folk to buy it.

I'm constantly amazed at people who simply will NOT give up a fight, no matter how many times they've been told what they're saying is simply, well...wrong.

There is NOT going to be an X1800 AGP part, period. I told you this some time ago, and I'm reiterating it now. Drop it, and live with it. If you can't live with it, try and not post cheerful "It might happen!". You're kidding yourself by doing so, and to be honest, you're just annoying other people (and for the record, this isn't pointed at anyone in particular, but in general to the populace who refuse to move forward with technology because they feel the justification isn't there, and watch as everyone else moves ahead of them).

OMG, what a tool.

Hey Ronin, nVidia is prepping to release an AGP7800GS, so that puts you one step closer to being TOTALLY WRONG! WHEEEEE!

Jackass!
