GeForce 7600GS AGP Confirmed

25th May 2006, 07:12

"Pricing is expected to be around the same $120-150 price range as the PCI Express version of the 7600GS. Standard PCI Express 7600GS’s come with 12 pixel pipelines, 5 vertex shaders, and 256MB of GDDR3 in a 128-bit configuration. It is unknown what the specifications of the AGP 7600GS will be but expect the use of NVIDIA’s HSI bridge to translate PCI Express to AGP commands."

Interesting. Perhaps AGP isn't as dead as everyone believes it is? Even though SLI and PCI-E are obviously the more popular choice among PC enthusiasts today, that doesn't mean everyone that wants a PC upgrade has to run away from AGP. Someone from a video card company recently told me how the company plans to really support the AGP platform in developing nations.

my brotherinlaw still has a x800pro, if i'd want him to upgrade his gpu, a 7800 gs would probably be the best choice (280 euro or sth)
