lol haha ya that is kinda true..... i mean i was convinced the 7800GS was utilizing it 100% then i see the X1950PRO and soon to be X1950XT agp cards..... but there is bandwith problems for dual GPU cards like the 7950GX2 and such....
besides..... if you built an awesome graphics bus and it was fully tested, convenient, cheap and ready to go out to market....... wouldnt you want to sell it? AGP's end is very near anyway.... PCI express is not only going to replace AGP but PCI slots as well.... thanks to the abilty of the slots to communicate via chipset
oh yea....i bet if you try pumping out a game like FEAR at 2560x1600 res with all the settings maximum at like 120FPS you think that the AGP bus will keep up..? no it wont its too much to put out....i mean the HIS X1950PRO 512 probably can do it on 1280x1024 at 40 or so FPS the AGP slot is all but dead.. its certainly possible to come out with DX10 on it but it wont be as good....its just about gone..... your machine and mine are similar with the exception of the processor..... there can always be a better card than the 8800GTX for AGP but more than likely it would be more expensive to make due to the limitation on the bus
