They might if the demand is still there (but is still very unlikely), Nvidia said a while ago the GeForce 7 series would not support AGP at all, yet there are AGP 7 series cards been made...so who knows, I like said before if there is a demand for it, there will be AGP cards.

AGP ftw!!!!! :laugh: i am prety sure they will, they'll do it for money, cause theres always people that iwll buy them, because they refuse to make a major upgrade. PLUS im sure apg cards will be super cheap by the time dx10 cards come out. and to the person that said that pci-e is faster... at the current time... its not noticibly faster, :D

same goes for agp its dead they dont even make mobos for it any more its all pci-e

They may not make AGP motherboards anymore, but there's a gargantuan installed base of reasonable-performance AGP-only machines out there.

You'd have to be a retard not to ignore that fact.

Anyways, DX10 is a feature set. It's not specifically based around speed.

I think they will make serveral DX10 cards for AGP still. Its still being used by many people who havent upgraded yet. ATI and nVidia would be stupid not to release some kind of AGP on their new cards that they are going to release which will be DX10 compatible.

(wiki) Although AGP is still incorporated into many motherboards today, it is gradually being phased out in favor of PCI Express. PCI Express allows much faster data transfer, is full-duplex, and also supports other devices. So far, 2006 has seen many motherboards available with PCIe slots, with some gamer-oriented configurations offering dual PCIe x16 slots. Many newer graphics cards are available exclusively in PCIe, with AGP versions of the same cards becoming correspondingly rare. At this rate, it is expected that AGP will be almost totally replaced within a few years.

Only time will tell, but i really doubt it. They can't keep adjusting to those who refuse to upgrade.

And if you plan to upgrade to DX10 - You should be able to dish out a few extra dollars and get a PCI Express Motherboard.

It'll be more than just a few dollars for some of us. I've got a 3.4GHz processor with 1GB of RAM. Only got AGP on my motherboard, so I don't fancy sheeling out to buy a new graphics card, mboard and processor when my other components are easily fast enough for the latest games. It all racks up, I am personally waiting to see what is released in the near future, and hope that a new AGP that supports DirectX 10 is released. There are plenty of AGP only motherboards out there so there is still a market for the cards.

can vista run with a agp card smothly or would it be choppy (pressently)

I'm running Vista on a machine with an AGP Radeon 9500 Pro, all the glass features work perfectly. I don't think that we have seen the end of new AGP products and there most likely will be DX10 AGP cards although as stated by others they may be lower end cards such as a GF7300 type card.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
