AGP video cards

[greyt_Autumn]

Right now I'm feeling a bit irritated that the new iterations of the X800 are PCIX (you know what I mean) only, especailly at those pricepoints. $299 LIst for the X800 XL is a killer deal, but considering that the X800Pro for my AGP system starts at $359 (Newegg pricing 1/6/2004) I'm feeling left out. Right now I'm running a 9800Pro and It's OK. Better than my old 4600Ti and I've had it 6 months.

Is it possible (likely?) that ATI will give those of us not looking to go to the X800 XL an AGP solution at that type of pricepoint?

Thoughts?

I have thought ATi would do well to supply a card that could compete with the 6800GT or even the 6800nu in the $200-300 price range. Then again it would be nice just to see ATi get their new products out to market in available quantities.

i doubt it. its really a hit and run game when u think about it. some cards that are for agp are more expensive in the pci-e ver and vice versa. but i doubt that pci-e cards will remain more costly then there agp counterparts becuz of the fact they must get a new mobo for the card. i think only during the release time and a couple months maybe. then it will drop below. this is all my speculation tho.

ATi is working on a PCI-E to AGP bridge solution.
