Why AGP graphic cards so expensive

[modez]

I really like to buy the Geforce 6800GS AGP, but I still think the price is far to expensive as I believe they will no longer be in the market place. I don't see them in the retail store like I used to, so I will have to purchase from an Etailer.

Do you think they will eventually go down in price?

Thanks for replying Gents.

First I don't really want to upgrade my system due to it being upgraded last year. At the moment my system is Intel Pentium 4 (Hyper-Threading), running 3EGHZ, system bus 800 and my graphic card is Geforce 5700 Ultra.
Them memory DDR 3200 1GB of Ram. I mostly play FS9 and I do get quite good frame rates but I just wanted to go Geforce 6800 so I could use the AA16X and AF16X.

Thanks for comments anyway. Much appreciated.

Is flight sim 9 more cpu dependant of gpu dependant ?

I would have thought if you have a stronger CPU the application would run on the game better. I could be wrong. I don't know how much the graphic card contributes to the application. However, before I upgraded my system to 3GHz
I had a 2GHz bus speed 400MHz. When I changed it to 3GHz I saw a lot of difference on the game with the same graphic card I had. The game was running faster.

The only reason I am worried to upgrade now to PCI-e etc., because maybe in 4 months time they bring something else out and still you need to upgrade. As everybody knows the hardware is not cheap and you can't afford to keep upgrading.

Many thanks to everyone for their advice. Who knows?
