AMD prepares DX10.1 part for AGP computers
@ 2007/11/07THE REMAINING AGP UPGRADE market will be all AMD's, it seems.
After HIS launched 2400 and 2600 parts for the AGP 4x/8x interface, we were set for a swan-song for the connector which has hosted our graphics cards in one form or another since 1997.
But AMD has decided to address the needs of this dying market with a DirectX 10.1 part as well. Manufacturers only made the switch to PCI Express this year, with PCI E parts taking over from AGP ones.
