NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS For AGP Launched

Spinnerbait writes "Although new system sales with AGP slots are almost non-existent these days in the consumer desktop space, there is a still a fair aftermarket demand for upgrades in the retail area where AGP enabled motherboards abound. Although PCI Express is the mainstay interface for most new cards from graphics giants like NVIDIA and ATI, NVIDIA unwrapped a fairly high end card dubbed the GeForce 7800 GS, in an AGP variant. 16 pixel shaders engines and DX9 SM3.0 graphics compliant hardware in the latest GPU architecture from NVIDIA now available in AGP."

    I wish I had known this a few weeks ago.

    I just upgraded my 2600+ with AGP nVidia 5900 to a Sempron 3100 and PCIe.
    Since I couldn't afford the full upgrade (just after xmas) I'm currently stuck with shitty onboard graphics until I grab a decent card for it.

    I'm finding all my old games work wonderfully though, so I'm not that miffed.
