I would personally like to see the X700 in AGP flavor. There isn't a need right now (besides just plain being nice) to upgrade to PCI-Express and a lot of people like myself are happy with their current AGP platform. There should be a market for an AGP version of the X700; at least for the time being. I think ATi should really bring one to the market and expand their current selection of the Xx00 series of cards.

I'm looking for a mid level upgrade from my 9500 Pro soon and a 9800 Pro would be nice; but if the X700 is available and is a newer generation card I will go for the X700 instead. My 2 cents; ATi should bring one out.

There is a reason ive posted this so please vote and discuss guys, its important, thanks

I absolutely wanna see this. I will buy one if they make one, and believe strongly others would too. PCIe technology is far from being in every computer household, like AGP is (with exception of those with intergrated vdeo). I thought it was silly for ATi to suggest that users get an 9800 series card if they wanted an AGP X700. The X700 series has the newer technology and isn't comparable to the 9800s in my opinion.

Give us the new technology, like you have always done, ATi! Please!

I agree; if ATi releases the X700 for the mid level market I think a lot of people will purchase them -- including myself. Basically I don't see a reason why ATi shouldn't bring it to the market.

absolutely, i think this is a great card no matter what people have said about it, is just a great card from a great company =D

and coming on AGP version? of course it should, after all the card is supposed to be directed to the medium range of card buyers that as myself, woudlnt like to upgrade their pcs just to get a new card ^^

I think this would be a great addition, Like Dom said PCie is far from mainstream, and this could just be the right budget~performance card that plugs the gap for people holding out for performance yet maintaining the budget, without wanting the leap to PCie. I help a lot of people who are not experienced with PCs usually with Onboard VGA and often find they're wanting to get into gaming but are failed with lower range cards not offering the performance they need and the top range simply being to far from there reach in terms of price. An AGP X700 would be the ideal compromise. My 2c.

Yes, I think it would be a much needed addition to their agp line. And like others have said agp is still very much alive, is still used by 98% of users out there and most have of them have been waiting for a nicely priced card like this to fill the spot.

i just voted i dont care. it would be a downgrade for me so it really doesnt intrest me at all. now if i was one of the people that was in hte market for a mid range x000 series, i would love to see an x700 in agp form.

Shadow Lady

after all is a card as great as a 9800pro/xt but less pricy is all all good =D

x700xt agp i want to grab one ^^

I think it is a great idea to release it in agp form, i'm sure there would be many people buying it.

When I heard the X700xt was going to be PCIe only I was very disappointed. I need to upgrade my 9500pro and want to go agp one last time before PCIe.

Will I have to go with a 6600GT???

Mid market level graphics cards never interested me personally, but it would be stupid for ATi not to make an AGP model, simply because pci-e needs time to settle into people's homes as said by others in this thread.
What is AGP today? 95% of the market?

I think the change will come AGP to pci-e, but it will take some time. I think most people are like I am - sitting on a perfect board with nice ram and nice cpu and really see no reason to upgrade my mobo to a pci-e version, because it gives me no noticeable benefits ram- and/or cpu-wise.
I am sure the marjourity of people will upgrade to a pci-e board as soon as next generation cpu's or ram demand it.
