Don't think it will be available on AGP, but you never know..

Anyway, I'll keep the 7800GS+ for a while I think... until I upgrade to a 2nd gen dx10 card + dual core CPU + speedier RAM.. :)

Running my card at 550Mhz core/1400Mhz RAM now, not to far off (well)from a 7900GTO stock (650/1320). Same speed as a stock 7950GT, altho the 7800GS+ has a better cooling solution and 512Mb RAM.. Haven't noticed any increase in temps since I clocked the card a bit higher, either.

Now I hear some rumours of Diamond releasing a Radeon x1900xt on AGP. But the Q is if it will ever be out, and prob then it would be a LOUD one (the Gainward 7800GS+ is very quiet..the way I like it in my Antec Sonata)..and more power hungry ( = I would have been forced to upgrade my PSU).


Hopefully, the 7800GS+ will give me decent performance for at least the next year or so?
