New AGP King! X1950 Pro AGP to be released

i'm think agp can't break the 16 piplines limit or something because they dont have 24 pipes agp cards lol or is that over the bandwidth that agp allows.

The PCI-E versions of the x1900XT/X also have 16 pipelines you know...
 
I would give a while. Seeing people might want to buy it if they have an x2 4800 on an old board that has agp and still want to be near top of the line. So they would get the top of line agp card without having to upgrade their whole computer.

Unless you mean compared to another AGP card, then right now theres nothing, unless nVidia releases a new AGP card.

could it really compare to it? i mean with the differences in transfer rates, wouldn't the PCI-E version blow it out of the water anyways?
 
AGP 8X - 2133 MB/s
PCI-E 16X - 8 GB/s

even if they use 50% of the bandwidth... that's still trumping AGP's MAX bandwidth bandwidth by 2 GB/s... not?
 
well, its all just numbers, they always dont mean that its right take SLI for example, two cards, twice the performance, right? no...
 
if someone has two of the same EXACT cars but AGP and PCI-E, id like to see a comparison... or just post a benchmark...
