NVIDIA AGP DirectX 10 cards?

[Brandon]

You conveniently left out a few additional hardware items that would be required to transition from AGP to PCIe.

Systems with AGP slots typically utilize DDR-1 and the last models produced had Intel socket 478 or AMD socket 754 (there few a few socket 939 boards made with AGP slots but not many). That means you'd need a new CPU, RAM, motherboard and a graphics card. You'll also need Windows Vista to play DX10 games.

In my opinion, a fast graphics card in a late Pentium 4 or Athlon X2 system still makes sense price-wise (but probably not too much longer).

Core 2 Duo 4x00 series are so cheap now that it makes no sense, especially with 2GB of DDR2 for under $30 or so

There's no way they could be compared as AGP has at least half and sometimes more than 50% less bandwidth, you could have a dual GPU high end card in AGP and a single GPU in PCI Express and the AGP would still lose.

PCIe 2.0 has twice the bandwidth as PCIe 1 and that doesn't mean its used. That said, I think ti would be silly to get AGP today while at the same time expect high-end performance.
