Every 7800GT PCI-E?

I was wondering if every 7800GT is PCI-E and none are AGP. I was pretty sure all are PCI-E and none are AGP but I just want to make sure. Thank you.
 
Correct, unfortunately it looks like nvidia's not making agp anymore. ATI also cancelled its X1800 agp cards. If your lucky you'll be able to get your hands on a X1300 or X1600 agp cards which would be slower than a 7800GT more than likely. If you want to run the latest games at decent resolutions with good image quality, my advise would be to start planning on migrating over to pci express
 
I concur, PCI e is moving even faster than analysts predict. Too many agp people have migrated. It may not be feasable or even profittable to crank out agp boards without making them in small quantities. Last thing they want in warehouses is a bunch of cards that noone can use or wants to use. I think agp is over unless they shock the world with AGP 16 or 32x and Dual AGP SLI & Crossfire support (very far fetched)
 
It ain't gonna happen, due to the complexities involved in making something like that. Besides, we have a new technology (PCIe), it works very well (no more sideband addressing/fast writes bullshit), and there's no need to reinvent the wheel. This is progress, gentlemen, and if people feel the need to stick to AGP, you might as well go play on a console. My 0.03 ¢ (damn inflation).
