The new fastest AGP card on the planet by far is the Gainward Bliss 7800-GS-512 425/core 1200/mem with 20 pipes (not 16-AGP-gs)Gainward did it using the bridge-chip and lets hope others follow...The card is available now (UK only).http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=30502

Dayammm!

And next month, ATI will come out with a faster one. :)And so it goes...Rhett

>And next month, ATI will come out with a faster one. :)>And so it goes...>>Rhett,Umm, No, ATI has nothing coming forward. This is a very special card, only 2500 produced.The advantage here is the fact that Nvidia incorporated a PCI-E bridge chip into the design of their AGP cards for PCI-E compatability, hence this little chip also works in reverse. So?So most any PCI-E cards (chips) including the new 7900 chips can be made AGP, (it is a whole different PCB) as is the case for the above mentioned card. There is nothing close to it in the AGP world. perhaps when other vendors see the potential there maybe some other nvidia PCI-E chips converted.It would be nice to see a 7900GTX-512 AGP!But I'll take the 7800-GT-512, order is going in this week. :)

>>>And next month, ATI will come out with a faster one. :)>>>And so it goes...>>>>>>Rhett,>>>>Umm, No, ATI has nothing coming forward. >>>>>ha ha, that's a good one.>>>>RhettJust fact, since the topic is AGP.The only new ATI cards coming are not AGP nor are they comming even next month or after, or after that or that or...they are at Fall or end of year so if you are AGP ATI a really excited user it seems you may be disapointed.New ATI cards: low end RV560/X1700. A nice mid RV570/X1900 GTO and then later the "Vista" RV600 Nice DX10 $$$ card...Sorry, no AGP card there. Do you see one?http://www.frontiernet.net/~pleatzaw/images/Eyes.gif http://www.frontiernet.net/~pleatzaw/images/Eyes.gifPerhaps one will show, but not anytime soon a really excited user. :)

Who are you? I've never been talked to rudely like that at AVSIM in 7 years.You're jumping to the conclusion that I actually own an ATI card. I don't own one, rude guy.I was *merely* pointing out the fact that there WILL be a better card out there in 4-5-6-7 months, as there always is. And if you want to be a rude then leave me out of it man! "I ain't mad at nobody, and I don't care about it."Rhett

If you were talking PCI-E or most any other hardware would be a bit more inline, however those of us still using AGP boxes need all the help we can get especially in the FS world.Take care.
