still rockin the agp!!!
just recently upgraded to a 7950GT 512mb with 1.4ghz memory....the things a monster! quite an improvement over my previous 7800gs oc
agp or die!
Made the switch to PCI-E in late 2006. I have no beefs with AGP but the problem with AGP today is it is being fazed out and finding any decent AGP alternatives in 2007 is getting slim to none. By 2008 I can't see AGP having any kind of hold on the market anymore. PCI Express is here to stay and it will be the standard for years to come. Either get on board or put the PC away and stick with consoles....

That's what people said in 2005 about 2006 and 2007.
I know. But look at the offerings for AGP today? What do you see?
Slim to none...and this will only get worse over the next year. We might and I say might see a 8600 AGP card but I can't see any series 9 AGP cards on the market.

I'll try a different approach here. Since I'm the AGP Club's Ambassador of Good Will, I will ask nicely..
Please leave this thread alone. It's been just fine for the last 250+ posts, and we would like it to stay that way. This is not a thread about which is better, or why people should switch to PCIe.... it's a thread for those of us that still use, and like AGP cards.
If you want to debate over video card interface types.. go and dig up one of the thousands of threads that have already been started... or go start your own, but just leave this one alone.
Thanks, we appreciate it.

Count me in. Only just read the whole thread - I'd no idea there were so many of us left!
It would be a joy and an honour to be a Regular Member of the AGP Club. Also, if anyone had any expert advice on overclocking a 9800XT, I would be very interested.
Cheers.
You got a question? Well I have the answer! . This Is a very good but simple easy to use overclocking tool. This can even be used to overclock nvidia cards. Hope this helps!
OK that looks pretty good and easy to use. Nice one.
Cheers.
No, no you shouldn't... What are your video settings set at? Screen resolution? Don't expect to play HL2 at 1600X1200 comfortably...Sure, I'll become a member. I own and use an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.
I might have to look at that overclocking tool. I'm not happy getting 20-30FPS Playing Day of Defeat Source, or any HL2 mod for that matter... not sure if that's where I'm supposed to be getting at or not, but to me that seems a tad bit too low... :/
no.From what I've read Geforce 7xxx cards will never be DX10 compatible...is this correct? If nvidia does indeed release an 8xxx agp/DX10/Vista compatible card I would like to get one.
One thing that I've always wondered about with my 4x agp system is the aperture setting. I have mine set to 256mb (it's highest setting) Does this mean that it wouldn't pay to buy a card (whatever flavor it is) that is any higher than 256mb?
