AGP Dead?

[purdy]

I am fully aware that agp is almost completely phased out, but do you think they will make a series of agp cards for vista when it comes out? I'm wondering this because I bought a system right before pci-e exploded onto the market and I'm wanting to keep my agp system. Unfortunately I have a "loaner" card in right now that I never got rid of and I'm wanting to save up and buy the best agp card out there which is an overclocked 7800gs. I was just wondering if the 7800gs is THE final series of agp cards? Oh btw, PLEASE check out my project worklog and post something lol.

Its looking like thats your best bet...
But then again, what processor do you have?

I have a 6800gt it still runs good.

I'm not going to update to vista untill a I get a new computer with PCI express and a graphics card a bit better then my 6800gt. And that will probably happen in like a years time.

I would guess that they will be making agp cards for a couple of years. Heck they still make pci cards and how long has agp been around?

They stopped manufacturing AGP a few months ago infact. Yes x1600 is the latest from radeon and the 7800 is from nvidia. Im ganna end up replacign my 6600 oc with a 7800 soon.

pci-e is the future.

i think im gonna wait fo vista, then get all new parts. gonna buy everything new.

Yeah, I'm going to keep this one a LAN rig to show off the mod, so I don't need super top of the line everything. One day I will get another home-based gaming rig with vista and everything, but for my LAN rig, I still want the best agp card out there, which looks to be a KO3 edition oc 7800gs from EVGA.
