IS AGP DEAD?

[Frippy]

I wonder how many people upgrade their graphics cards when they dont need to.

Yep, I've been guilty of that!

I say "AGP or PCI-E?" and I get a distant look followed by a brief sense of desperation until they fold crying on the floor asking me what language am I speaking.

Got a good morning lol out of this

Problem with AGP is boards the old CPU's are starting to lag behind the GPU nowadays. There really isnt much point in putting anything higher than a 7800 GS+ on 3700+ SD core. And if your buying a brand new system you'd be an idiot to get AGP over PCI imo.

I agree. If you are buying a new system then for gods sake dont build an agp one!!!

Are there any Passive cooled.. AGP cards with HDMI & HDCP support?

GeCube X1950 XT AGP TEC X-Turbo Fan Overdrive edition.

Its not passive and its only HDCP. You can stick a passive cooler on there though.


Both these are HDCP compliant as well.

GeCube Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 AGP HDCP Edition
VisionTek Radeon X1950 Pro XGE 256MB GDDR3 AGP

You could look at this also

Sapphire X1600 Pro HDMI 256MB AGPs

As far as I am aware you cant get any Nvidia ones with AGP and HDMI/HDCP
