R520 to come in AGP

[pauldh]

Just a little more info for anyone who fears that they will be stuck without upgrade options with their AGP motherboard. The Inquirer has a little blip stating R520 will be released in AGP, probably bridged with rialto. No new news here, just another good sign for some of us.

You going to buy one?

Doubtful, but depends on price. I am hoping this 6800U will hold me over until I go PCI-e someday. I see it more likely that I would someday buy a PCI-e R520, but hey if the right buyer comes along for this BFG, then who knows. Once in a while someone (friend/customer, etc.) will see my gamer and say they want one built just like it. I'd have no problems offering up mine and head back to ATI with a X800XL or R520 AGP bargain. The BFG is nice though and it's stable up to 440/1220.

Stoopid AGP, Stop resisting, buy PCIe, so there are more and we reach economies of scale. You can't hold back progress! Arggghh!!! :tongue:
