No AGP for 7800 GTX

July 5, 2005 10:51 AM

If you're looking to upgrade to nVidia's latest and greatest, you better make sure your motherboard is up to snuff. The Inquirer is reporting that nVidia will only release the 7800 GTX in the PCI-Express flavor, meaning no AGP version. ATI, however, still plans to support AGP with its next series of video cards.

This is fine with me. I can't imagine the people in the market for a 7800 would truly still have an AGP board.

  Yes, but hopefully this doesn't extend to the rest of the 7x00 series.

    If they explicitly say GTX, than we should see regular 7800 and 7800 GT in AGP flavor.

  I'll probably be in the market for one, and I have an AGP nForce3-250 board with DDR400 and an Athlon64 @ 2.5GHz.
