Sigh?

okay

 

[qulAKle]

h and n are very close

 

[Cheezeit]

Yes, I know.

I was just teasing

 

[Cheesetogo]

it wants my email.

 

[Mesix]

Just get a new motherboard.

 

[Mesix]

EDIT: Sorry, double post.

 

[HDTVMan]

I pass on anything wanting the e-mail address. Why because I manage to get a ton of spam after that.

Mesix > Your a f00king IDIOT. :disgust:

You see the thread topic, well either sign it or STFU and ignore this thread.

AGP needs to die.

 

[hans030390]

ok...*sigh*

hey you said sigh if you want it, and i want it! no actually i dont...way too pricey for me

 

[Waylay00]

We can't live with AGP forever. If they don't stop now, when are they?

 

[martinez]

Have to agree^^ isn't there talk of these things being CPU limited. If that is the case, wouldn't any of the socket 754 and earlier be a poor match for it?

The days of AGP are dwindling, like the CRT monitor.

Feer my CRT!

Just let AGP die. If you want cutting edge you've got to get new stuff...

I think that getting the type of bandwith that the 7800 needs to truly shine, with an AGP connection would waste too much time and money for nVidia. Sorry but i think your cries of help and bloody murder will fall on deaf ears. Good luck tho!

 

[Sc4freak]

What's the big deal about going PCIe? AGP is dying already, and it's not as if PCIe motherboards are insanely expensive anymore.

 

[sisq0kidd]

I like how every person signs about 20 times with ascii nonsense.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

If you can afford a 7800 you can afford PCI-e.

If you can somehow afford one and not the other, you seriously reconsider your financial situation. Spend it on a 6800GT instead, and then invest the money saved in the difference a 7800 would have cost you.

All the idiots that want AGP dead dont have a damn clue, this thread aint for you.

The AMD 4800X2 was CPU limited in the review with 1 of the 7800GTX's never mind both in SLI, so if that CPU is bottleneck so is any other on planet.

Added to fact Rollo how is CRT dead, its still the best picture especially if for HDTV and if you did your homework you would know from good sites that TFTLCD will never be no 1 in the market as in 2006 SED's and Shallow CRT (yes same CRT as now using Carbon) are to be in the stores from Samsung.

Added to fact what of us that spent a fortune last year to get current hardware, we cant afford to write of this and buy yet again, i will wait 1 year, every 2 years is enough for me as i aint rich, i bet the n00bs crying out for AGP to die now are due a upgrade anyhow, so its sensable to buy pci-e for that set up, but ive waited this long i can hold out for 2nd gen AMD chips with ddr2. (early 2006)

Added to the fact has anyone here even though about the fact that some peeps maby just cant afford to get all new parts for PC ?.

Im fed up with n00bs like the above peep saying "if you can afford a 7800GTX, you can afford a new mobo", how many f00king times do i need to tell you n00bs that some peeps will need the new mobo and new CPU and new ATX 2.0 PSU and in some cases new ram, they may have the £450 saved up for a GPU but not that added to more fo the parts i just mentioned. no wonder i hardly spoke during all this pre 7800GTX release, cause all i read is bollocks, and this CPU limited talk, i thought i was told i talk crap many months ago when i said new games are more and more using the CPU aswell as the GPU, i remember some well known peeps here slated me, well i see many posts all mentioning it now that CPU aswell as GPU need to be powerful for more and more games.

Stop hijacking threads you lamers and get a life, either sign the petition or get to f00k out this thread and make up a ANTI AGP thread on your own.

 

[ScrewFace]

I totally agree with humey. All you 13 year-olds have got to stop posting stupid remarks and stay on the topic of the thread!

Computer standards change Humey. No one "needed" to move from VESA to PCI, but we did. No one "needed" to move from PCI to AGP2X, but we did.
It's just a fact of life.

The CRT comment wasn't about whether CRTs are "good", it's about barely anyone making or selling CRTs any more.

That's wonderful as long as the prices of the replacements decrease dramatically, or in the case of LCD's, decrease to meet the same prices that CRT's sell for. Not everyone is rich.

Hopefully a couple smart businessmen will recognize that a value market still exists and that many consumers are value shoppers. If an otherwise fine computer with an AGP slot on a high-performance older-model motherboard only needs a new video card, it really doesn't make much sense to have to go out and build a new computer when a video card is all that's desired.
