Hi again Guys.
ATi have decided there is still a market for AGP slot videocards and are releasing the fastest AGp card yet. It's due late in November, but I have gleaned some specs anyway. No reviews yet that i can find, however the experts believe it will be as fast as a X1800XT approx.
Gecube have an AGP X1950 Pro listed at OCUK for pre-order. It should be available end of November. It has the same specification as the PCI-e version, but just to refresh your memory:
- ATI Radeon X1950 PRO - 575MHz (RV570 80nm)
- 256MB GDDR3 memory - 1.38GHz
- 36 Pixel shader processor
- Ultra-threaded SM 3.0 Engine
- 512-bit Ring-bus
- HDCP Ready
- Low power consumption (Consumes 60W less than equivalent X1900 XT)
There is nothing on AGP to match this sort of power other than Gainwards 7800+ (which is really a 7900 GT in disguise with slightly lower clocks). This X1950 Pro AGP card should make a lot of AGP owners seriously happy, i'm sure.

Yeah, that's me. But I'm at the end of my upgrade cycle, so I think the card is aimed at people who still use onboard video or similar and want to buy a better card.
Me I went Ti4200, then 6600GT, now the X800 something . And that'll be it.
