I would like ATI to make an AGP based X700 series card

swimtech · Oct 15, 2004, 11:51 PM

Review of a combo AGP and PCIe motherboard was on recently at Anandtech's site - AGP wasn't pretty...

Geminiwave · Oct 16, 2004, 01:18 AM

yeah but did you see its performance in UT2k4? It was BETTER than PCIe! sooo weird!

JAYAR · Oct 18, 2004, 03:25 AM

An AGP version of the x700 would be awesome, otehrwise I'm getting a 6600GT.

Geminiwave · Oct 18, 2004, 04:57 AM

i dont think ill ever get nVidia. I dunno they've burned too many bridges with me

Hey guys, i found this thread using google. Youre prayers have been answered! Powercolor has in the mail to me, one of the first x700 AGP cards! I will be getting a simple review up as soon as i can, and I know that XBITLABS will also be getting a copy of this card. Ill let you know how it is!

Geminiwave · Oct 22, 2004, 04:33 AM

Actually i just heard today from Powercolor that I would be recieving a card within the end of next week. They also listed that I was the first to get one, along with XBITLABS. I'll let you guys know when i get my card, and ill give a preliminary report, but ill bet that xbitlabs will give a better one.

Keep an eye out!

Excellent!

Been thinking, might be able to build a new system after the new year. Would likely build an AMD64 based system with an X700 card (at this point...). Would be a fast, highly cost effective gaming system...

Look forward to the results...

Hey, thats awesome! My test system is an AMD64 3000+, with 1GB of corsair XMS pros, so I'll be testing with a similar system! I was planning on running a 3dmark03 and 05 test, as well as many settings for the video stress test in CS:S. If anyone else has an idea of a test they would like to see, let me know! Ill also make sure that an xbitlabs link shows up here when they get theres.

Any news on X700 AGP cards ?

I have here an email response from Sapphire :

Hi,
No, the X700 series will not release AGP version.

Hello.
I wanted to ask if there are any plans on making AGP vga's based on Radeon X700 XT chipset, and if so when aproximately should we expect them?
Thank you
Nick D.

Would be a nice upgrade for my 9800Pro

monographix · Nov 22, 2004, 10:43 PM

if you consider this an upgrade, maybe then dont mind an exchange with my 9600XT ?

monographix · Nov 22, 2004, 10:45 PM

any news with the powercolor sample? or everybody run to get yourselves an 6600 thus the thread is so silent ?

Geminiwave · Nov 22, 2004, 11:16 PM

I'm still holding out.

Fr3@K · Dec 17, 2004, 02:12 AM

hey guys, great news. To counter the 6600 gt agp ati is canceling there x700 series and bumping there x800 price down from 200$-300$--source--http://www.hexus.net/#X700

BWX · Dec 17, 2004, 04:52 AM
