guys, more people use AGP than pci-e today. if you look at the steam statistics for graphics card usage, most people played hl2 with AGP than with any other card.
Valve Survey Summary
But still, if you already have an AGP chipset, and its good enough for your needs, than why spend the extra money??
people have been predicting the death of agp since 6800's came out. Then why would comanies make the 7800 gs agp? And nvidia has confirmed the 7600gs agp as well.
Whats the big diff if youre already getting 40 + fps and are happy at 800 X 600 or even 640X480?? everybody watched the worldcup at 720X400(?) pal resolution right? and ntsc is even less!!!
That much computing power is enough. enough for all your computing needs and the occasional game. And yes for most people games are just an occasional thing,, remember its a
game.
There will be enough mobos for SKT 754 + AGP atleast for the whole of next year.
Read this forum (rage3d) about this.
AGP won't die 7600gs agp - Rage3D Discussion Area
Dont buy something just becuase nvidia or ATI wants you to. DO you really need it?
Or that the game sucks unless all the bells and whistles are turned on?
When the AGP chipset just cant do it anymore and you really need to update, then you can. Otherwise, if theres a cheaper way, and it works then go ahead.
just my two cents.
Ps: let me add that the agp 8X bandwidth is not saturated even now.
