What are the chances of ATI/Nvidia coming out with an AGP solution for any next gen video card in the next 3 months?

Well in one of Anand's recent articles he hinted at 7800 series cards in AGP flavor in a couple of weeks, so if there was any truth to that there is a pretty good chance.

Hopefully this is true because it would be great news indeed!

Which article was this, and what part? thx

You might not be able to get any flagships, but you'll probably be able to get next gen hardware that is as fast if not faster than current top of the line cards. The RV530 for example, 12 pipes @ 600MHz and updated feature support could give you the processing power in the X800XL/6800GT range, give or take depending upon efficiency. And being a midrange part I'd expect it to be priced in a range from $199-249.

Ofcourse then there'd be the 7800 series, we might see some GTs or vanilla 7800s that might go AGP, and I don't really know anything about nVidia's midrage parts.

Then I'm not sure about the flavors of the R520. Again I wouldn't expect the flagships on AGP, at least not anytime soon, but there will be next gen cards on AGP thats for sure.

Yeah I know, but would I be able to expect that before December?

Thanks so much, I am really hoping for the 12 piper mid range from ATI, it looks like it could compete with the 6800 GT quite easily considering its got a huge clock speed

Damn...I was hoping to use eVGA's step up plan. Maybe I can sell my 6800 and geta 7800 when they come out.
