Large enviroments with high resolution textures will rip apart 2x AGP.

Far Cry and UT2004's out door maps do this quite well.

Yeah..We have capped 2x..I was messing around with a old p3[500mhz] and a mx440..No matter how much i overclocked it neither 3dmark scores or FPS went up..Even with high details on everything..So i was limited by 2x..

I cant wait to see what happens when nvidia and ATI get hardcore about using the pci-expess bandwith..

Then there is no competition and you'll be forced to pay $600 for a low end card.

i went to future shop with the intent to buy a radeon 9600 or whatever adn ended up getting a 9800 pro it was $100 off for just that week 299.95 mother lent me the money for ti and i swiftly payed her back. best choice i made bt now i need a new mobo/processor because my vid card slot (AGP) only runs at 4x as opposed to a 8x. that means my 9800 pro is not getting its $ worth just cause i got a 4h and its running at half the potential ounless i overclock.....
