Faster than the current offering of 6800GT/Ultra's to be precise? I kind of suspected there would be no support at the top end but, how about a 7600 GTX that beat the old Geforce 6800 GT??
I'm currently drooling over a XFX 6800 GT 256mb(with Doom3) at Scan for roughly £200.
But i thought about the inevitable new card in 6-8 weeks scenario thats cheaper and better.

In short i very much doubt it.
How about mid range products? A 7600 would do me fine! I know at best i'm asking for educated guesses but it still worth talking about. I'm very much tempted to get that XFX 6800GT tonight before the offer goes.
I suspect we will see 76XX 72XX but only if the market craves it.
Sales of PCI-E cards are totally trashing those of AGP.
No i really doubt it.
there still quality AGP cards, hell a X850XT PE can be had for around 250, and a X800XT for 200. Better than a 6800GT. :)
how about just upgrade to PCIX?
its obviously gonna be a good move...

PCI-X is, I think, 64-bit PCI, and is used in servers. PCI Express is different to PCI-X.Quote:

Thx for the feedback. :)
I decided to go for that offer on Scan.co.uk for the XFX 6800GT at £198(its still there for £205).
I only got my asus nforce 3 mobo last autumn, so i thought i might as well stick with that, at least another year.
Upgrading my mobo and getting a PCI-e graphics card, would have at least doubled the cost of my graphics upgrade, which really went way out of my budget range!
Cheers lads!
