    GeCube announces AGP based X1000s

    The Accellerated Graphics Port really isn't dead yet. It's 8x variant can still provide enough bandwidth for an upgrade to a latest generation card to be worthwhile. As a result, a few manufacturers have come forth with AGP variants of recent ATI and NVIDIA products. Today it's the turn of GeCube, announcing two Radeon X1000 series AGP cards.

    now this is what we needed. Good news indeed. Faster AGP cards.

    My slot is not dead

    The bottom one is AGP ~ The top is a typo, and is indeed PCI-E. It's even marked so on the box.

    Great, more AGP cards... But, aren't the 1000 series pretty naff? :s

    Well spotted folks. It's odd that I missed that, given that I can usually tell what motherboard somebody has by a 3cm x 3cm glimpse of the PCB. Still, the product page links in the article are correct, alas nothing higher than thumbnail res of the X1300.

    Cheers folks.

    I'm not particularly excited because any board with an AGP slot is going to be CPU-Limited (majority socket a) when it comes to the latest games so plugging a card into your motherboard that's a generation ahead of all your other hardware doesn't make sense to me.

    Hang on; there's a lot of people out there who purely on the AMD front are going to be using S754 or S939 boards with AGP slots, surely? This gives them a way to still have a highly competitive machine without chucking their board as well as their video card. After all, if you've got a S754 A64 3700+, say, you're not going to want to chuck it...

    I'm still on a SoA machine at home and have to change soon, but if I'd changed earlier and moved to a S754 board or a 939 AGP-based board, I'd be pretty happy about this.

    About time someone brought out AGP cards. I would rather have had a X1800 series card though. Here's hoping.......
