At Last!In what will be fantastic news for AGP users pining for an Nvidia upgrade, the company is purportedly going to release a 6800 GS for AGP in time for the last minute Christmas buying frenzy. The Inquirer is reporting that the card should be available next week from most online retailers at the standard GS MSRP of $249.
"Unlike the 6800 GS PCIe, the AGP version will be based on good old NV40 chip and it will be native AGP card without any bridges. We still don't know about the clock speeds but we heavily suspect that it will have the same clocks as its PCIe brother."
Great news indeed for those looking for an upgrade to their dating AGP setups. ATI has a large array of offerings as far as AGP is concerned, but nothing that quite compares to the fantastic price versus performance that the 6800 GS offers.
