HEXUS.tv - interviews :: AGP rides again!

[Steve]

GeCube shows us a surprisingly high-end new graphics card for the venerable AGP bus - and they've got CrossFire on a single adapter as well. And who doesn't like a nice pair?

Aww bless that guy. He is really trying, must be hard trying to get your point over in a different lanuage your not flunt in.

[James Morris]

Yeah, and try as we might we couldn't get him to hold the microphone actually pointing at his mouth...

[Mattus]

TBH there's probably little reason to buy this over an AGP X1950Pro, which will be similarly priced and will match the dual X1650 in Crossfire mode whilst hammering it in single-GPU stuff...

[listy]

so could we see 8X00 on agp?

If you want more displays its worth getting. Also if you proffer physics to graphics you could get the advatage for it that way.

Got a bit of a god thing going on there Nick?

Thanks for your coming

Why build that card with x1650 tho, heat/power stop them from using the 1950?

in theory yes because the 7x00 lines were pci-e native but in practice it might not be practical

Still think with the cost of APG cards it may be cheaper to get a new MOBO and maybe CPU and RAM.
