I put my system together 2 years ago and it still works with any game. Albatron Geforce4 Ti4280 128mgs video Card

No it won't.. You won't be playing Battlefield 2, War Worlds, and several other recently released games because they don't support non-DX9 cards. In fact, about 26 games coming out in the next 8 months won't work on your machine.

Without a DX9 compliant card within the next few months, you'll find few new games that you can run. Sorry to break the bad news to you.

i have a 6600gt agp 8x and i can run f.e.a.r. full settings and highest res ecsept the ultra settings like soft shadowing and i get 40 fps average and i only have a 3000+ amd 64 but i think the 4 gigs of ram helps, and i oc my card to 585mhz core and 1190mhz mem. but i see no need to upgrade to pci-e just yet. altho it would be nice to aford it but seeing as im 17 with no job and a car to pay for. i dont think ill be upgrading anytime soon

I run an Athlon64 3000+ with 1 Gb ram and an overclocked vanilla 6600 and i have been enjoying Prey with all but the very highest settings enabled ,still alot of games it wont run well and i have to say one the most compelling reasons to upgrade to pciXpress is the ability to run SATA300 hard disks ! but I'm holding out to upgrade until UT2007 appears

Thread's a bit dated...

ATI X800 is the best!

ATI X800 the best?

Nah..

I've just binned mine and put in an X1950 AGP.

Now the X1950 is a good card for AGPX8. It'll keep you going for a couple of years.

AGP is not death. PCI-E is alive and kicking and I think that the technology of AGP is a bit of sleeping    I have a PCI-E card and its faster than my previous AGP card for sure.  

10 pays you 5 that before too long there will be a new AGP architecture that will be

faster then pci-express, AGP is not dying it just taking a nap, my card is AGP and i havent come across any games that i cannot play yet, sure some run a little slower

but dropping the resolution brings them back to life, i am one of those peopole who think that playing a game at 1024 x 768 is as perfectly acceptable as 1600 x 1200

peace and long life

AGP is dead. As far as I know, none of the newest video cards (gaming cards that is) are produced int he AGP format. AGP boards will still be offered for some time though, but it's just a waste looking forward. If you want to upgrade, but are not ready for a full system upgrade, I would suggest just getting a faster processor. That board should be able to support a much faster processor. That graphics card is probably hamprered by your current CPU anyway.

agp lives...in the motherboard i just got (it will be running an x700pro)

*edit*

for the guy above i wouldn't say its dead just yet...if the r600 doesn't have a single agp card then i guess it will die in about 3 years but so far most cards have an alternative agp offering (for a little more, but its still supported)

Might not be a bad idea to think about going to one of the cheap opteron dual cores now since they have dropped soo low in price.

Who declared AGP as dead? Aha, it"s not so easy to declare something as completely dead or extinguished. AGP it still sold everywhere, though the price is pretty low. As long as AGP still work with Sli.

AGP may not be dead yet, but it in its terminal phase - inevitable, as all technologies become overtaken in time.

Its good some attention is still payed to it though, just because it has no long term future doesnt mean it has no place now. The vast majority dont need top end go-faster cards, and buying an updated AGP card can be very cost effective if your mother board has AGP slots. The vast majority are not gamers or into serious graphics, and for them buying a $500+ graphics card is crazy, they would be candidates for the funny farm. Its equally nuts buying a new PC etc if an AGP upgrade meets your needs for another two or three years.

Eventually of course it no longer becomes economic for manufacturers to carry on, as other technologies will give better long term returns on Capital. Thats life, then its time for a new PC, or a second hand one that your hard core gaming friend is about to dump after 2 years use.

Of course AGP still exist and wouldn't be dead for a long time in the furture. I'm looking forward to its update. I could be able to get a PC without finacial press because AGP platform' price is getting cheaper and cheaper.
