    I would have preferred a 7800GT myself
    Core i7 920, Asus P6T, 3x2 1333 DDR3, Vista x64, Ageing 8800GT (Next upgrade!), Adaptec 1430SA with 4x500 gig HD (2x RAID 0 and 2x RAID 1), Blu Ray rewriter, 1TB HD for data, housed in Cooler Master ATCS 840 awaiting water cooling with Corsair HX1000 PSU, Microsoft Habu and Reclusa, 22" and 17" TFT.

    Under your system thing it sez you have a 7800gt. That's a pretty high performance card, and it beats the 6800 by miles. if your having performance problems it could be your processor or motherboard.

    with dx10 cards out in a few months i wouldnt like to waste money on an agp card or any other graphic card for that matter. theres also the getting new mobo/cpu etc to go the pci-e route

    if you really must have an agp card right now id say this is best (just based on looking at specs)

    Gainward BLISS GeForce 7800 GS+ SILENT 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (AGP) - Retail

    Gainward do it again! This is the only 7900GT card with 24 pixel pipelines available on AGP. Then along with its 512MB of super-fast GDDR3 memory making this the worlds fastest AGP card ever produced. There is only 400 units available worldwide!! So be quick as this is a deal not to be missed!

    (£252.57 Including VAT at 17.5%) on OcUK this week only
