    Ever going to see higher than "32 Bit" Color?

    For desktop use. Probably not. However , it comes in handy when you want to resample like in games and image editing I believe. Games already use more than 32-bit, in a way. That's what HDR is. Take this with a bucket of salt, but I think that's pretty much correct.

    Sapphire Radeon X1600 PRO @ [H] Enthusiast

    I bought the AGP version for my htpc. Selling points for me: *AGP *AVIVO for superb deinterlacing and video quality So that's pretty much the only card that was availible. Would have rather had a faster card, but it does just fine in older games or newer with a bit of overclock...

    x1700 speculation

    When I posted that, I didn't know for sure that the x1800:s were being discontinued. :( This, however, means that the x1700 will have an even bigger gap to fill. Unless ATI also brings out an x1900xl at sort of the same price point as the x1800xl. I guess all imformation points to this...

    x1700 speculation

    I guess it all makes sense: X1600 is a quarter x1900. X1700 will possibly be a halved x1900. People seem to think the x1700 will be a 128-bit bus card. Don't you think the $200-270 price point allows for att 256 bus? I'm doubtful 128 will give enough bandwidth, especially if the...

    x1700 speculation

    Well I would sure like that, but with specs like that, it might surpass even the x1800xt under some conditions. Could we really be so lucky for $299 MSRP?

    x1700 speculation

    Isn't the x1800xl still well over $300 though? I figure ATI has a huge hole in their lineup with the x1600xt being a $160 card street price and the x1800xl being at least $300. But maybe you are right, maybe they will be doing one card in between instead of two.

    x1700 speculation

    So, what kind of card will the x1700 series be? My bet: 256bit bus, 256Mb ram, with 1ghz effective clock. 6*3 or 8*3 architecture för 18 or 24 Shader pipes. Price: $249 för pro (street price about 200-220) and $299 for xt (street price 260-270) What do you think? :)

    The AGP outlook (reopened and updated 01-19-2006)

    The Sapphire and Gecube AGP x1600pro:s have been listed preorder for weeks now. Still, I'm not to sure about the x1600pro, I would rather have a x1600xt or, even better, a x1700pro/xt AGP.
