lol damn, talk about a bottleneck, they might as well release a few updated CPU's as well lol.

There are still lots of people who are running the 939 Socket (like me) that uses AGP (not me) So they can be running a good dual core setup but with an AGP card so this is a good deal for them.
heck...Asrock did an AM2 socket board with an agp...

so really, the bottleneck will just be on the GPU end

no its bad news for agp users... it'll make them think agp is still 'good enough' rather than moving on... we cant have progress if we dont push people forwards!!

lol read your own post a lil closer, if AGP sucks ass they'll soon realize it and be like, wow, I can't handle this shit anymore, im going PCIe |

Well, when they only get half the performance a real GF8 card gets, that should be enough, right? Right? NO! I thought the same with the Radeon 1950XT (or whatever), that they will ditch that crappy old interface (AGP) for the newer, much better one (PCIe). 
I think the real reason nVidia is doing this is to remove AMD as the current best AGP seller.

That and they needed to get a DX10 card out for vista. Still plenty of customers that would love to see DX10 or whatever that has AGP. AT least there not a monster of a company that wants to push everyone in the same direction, they at least support where it's needed/wanted

that 8800 won't do you any good, in order to take advantage of it's speed you need the PCIe bus speed to transfer the information. AGP 8x isn't that fast so you'd be getting hardcore bottleneck losing the power of the 8800, unless they downclock it but even then, it wouldn't be an 8800 than. |

i personally think it was too early to get rid of AGP and same goes for IDE . Also in my opinion they shoulda at least waited with PCI E till AM2 instead of putting it on 939 , well what i mean with that is AM2 came out too early also .

really? well, performance loss is to be expected under these circumstances, but I presume there will be a difference to my 7900 if I "upgrade" to a "rumored" 8800-agp model, wont it? - even if its not going to be as fast as its PCIe counterpart. I would really like to play Crysis without having to buy a complete new machine
I play most games in 1280x1024, sometimes even lower (1152x864 Bioshock), I am not using AA or AF in overdosis, so I am actually already living with the "limitations" my actual hardware (Athlon64 3200, 1,5 gig ram) may provide even on the 7900, so I am willing to accept these side effects
I am sure there will be a lot of performance testing by the usual suspects hardware websites so we will see what this is all about - and if its worth the money or not ...
