Is this the best agp card i can get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130264
eVGA Geforce 6800GS 256-A8-N397-TX Video Card - Retail at Newegg.com

And when does the 7800 agp come out? if it comes out soon ill wait for that, anyone know the price for it

The 7800GS should be coming out any day....and it's worth waiting for, especially over a 6800GS.

ATM the X850XT is the fastest AGP card, until the 7800 comes out

I would wait for the 7800GS if I was you, shouldn't be long till it's release

Worldwide availability from leading e-tailers such as Newegg.com, TigerDirect.com, and ZipZoomFly.com will be on the following day."

You can get it tomorrow

the fastest available AGP cards 6800 ultra X850XT PE or 7800GS..i would go with either the 6800 or 7800 because they support future technology however the 6800 is probably more expensive then the 7800 and once you OC the 7800GS it will probably tear up the ultra

its already out dum dums here it is lol http://www.evga.com/products/moreinf...256-A8-N509-AX

7800gs (even stock its faster than the ultra btw rockin), but its not being retailled yet(@GT!'s nice comment), if you check on the evga site (usually where it will be available first). If you're really interested, visit the evga site, click on the link for the card you're interested in, and click on the "notify me" button and it will notify you by email when the card is available for purcahse.

GL!

i'm trying to find a retailer right now that has some in stock, i'll post anything if I find it (chances are they wont last long tho so if you're serious about it, buy it now).

I'd seriously consider getting a 7800GS if it weren't for the fact that I have no money and it would be bottlenecked by my system severely. By the time I upgrade my entire system, it'll be PCIe for me.

 

[Strider_2001]

I wonder what kind of increases it will be over the 6800GT......No matter in getting it right now for me because my CPU will bottleneck it like crazy....

same amount of pixel/shader units, however the gpu is 25mhz faster and the memory is 200mhz faster (ddr effective speed). From what i gathered, running at lower resolutions it peroforms neck and neck with the 6800gt/ultra, but at higher resolution with more options enabled (especially if the game is running shader model 3.0) the card is way faster due to better architecture and newer gpu generation.

edit: not to mention the overclocking capabilities...
