Dude..... Sweeet.... Umm wheres my car?

But seriously, thanks for headsup, got a friend who was considering a X850PTE for his AGP SFF. (Pain to upgrade SFFs). Now he wont have to.

Any idea on when?
 
Awesome, I just hope nvidia follows and releases a 7800GT agp and sells it for 300$ (its 320$ now so one can hope) as well as release a 6800GS AGP version that sells for 200$.
 
Look just a little closer at the box... It has the PCI-Express sticker on it, I think this is wrong/typo.
 
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Its real
 
I didn't know Diamond was still around. They made great cards about six years ago.

Anyway, this is very interesting; could save me quite a bit of money this winter. If they had the XT I would be sold right away, but this is still worth a serious consideration.

Name got bought out I think, now it's someone else riding the brand name. Same as Elsa.
 
hmmm suspicious...the URL has PCI in it which is the link they use for the PCI express version of cards. Why don't they have two pages like all of the other PCI-E/AGP cards?
 
Although it would be nice to have an AGP version, I agree that it seems more likely to be a website typo.
