AGP Lives! Thank you powercolor now i can keep my old socket a system just a bit longer.

i want this card , but i seem to have the worst luck finding a retailer

Not out yet sometime in November.

wow its gonna be around 229$ or less :)

Anyone know what the Minimum Power supply needed will be.

@Mike: This should be named "number 1 AGP card" in the superlatives section.

@Track: True it should massacre the 7800gs.

Not that I know much about the graphic card vendors but i would recommend the gecube version over any powercolor version. There is just something odd about that vendor and they seem to be really cheap. 180 quid is a bit pricey but its not too bad.

@ Nick: The powercolor card is overclock, meaning that they take much more money for something that u can do easily at home in under 5 mins.

I HAVE THIS CARD. It rules, i love it so much. Guys if u are AGP users get this card. THE BEST OF THE NEST!

Milf where did you buy this card from?

I know where the heck do you get this card?

I third that question! Where did you get it i want one!

I fourth that question. It isn't out in the UK until the end of this month!

I hate when a company launches a product silently and with no availablity. I can understand though why they would do that for a card such as the 7100, but this is a card that everyone actually wants.

'Best Buy' has it on Backorder for $299.
So much for it being under $200. =(

anyone know when this card is actually released? it's the end of November and still no news, please someone give me a date!

Never trust those big retailers they buy it for half the msrp and jack it up! Believe me Iused to work at bestbuy you wont believe what I had to say in order to get people to buy fx5200's.
I remember my manager getting an invoice for 10 x1900xt's they cost each 278$ at launch and they sold them for 500$ each! Damn you bestbuy!

When will it be sold on something like newegg.com?

Well i want the preciossss too but i can't find.. help please... it's almost december and nothing..

www.overclockers.co.uk I think its out of stock at the moment though

Sapphire 512MB model will be available second week Dec. zipzoomfly has it listed for $249.99 USD (shipped).

the bastards at BestBuy are now selling it for $299.99 only in store though no online yet...

I Personally bought the gecube x1950 256MB (209 Euros)and tested it in Half-Life 2 Lost Coast. At 1280*1024 with ALL advanced futures enabled (except V-Sync) and it scored 70 FPS. My cpu is pentium D945 with 2*512/400 MB of Ram. I am VERY SATISFIED!!!

I got one as an exchange for my X800 pro from best buy and I'm happy with it so far. I got a score of 8700 on 3dmark05

Here is the first review and it looks like a winner!

I got it too at last:D 250 euros and it rocks!!! I'm very satisfied too.. thank you!

Got the 512 version from Newegg. Keeps crashing the PC (XP SP2, current ATI drivers, DirectX 9.0C, MB = D875PBZ). It was supposed to replace my X9800 XT 256 which was working fine, except for limitations on new games...

just bought one to replace my 9800 pro. looks good on reveiws can't to try it should arrive tuesday. will let you know if it rocks!

I could only get visontek's xge version, and not being the best vendor I prefer to have, I'm blown away with the performance/buck (paid 249.99) and i dont have to upgrade my whole system yet :) (which is what I want to do, till vista=less bugs. I'm interested in what amd/ati is coming out with in future as well)
Right now im very happy with them, ty guys for allowing me to still use my old school AGP haha

I got a Sapphire X1950 Pro 512mb. Dont Quake 4, Half Life 2 and FEAR look lovely! And I managed to get mine of Ebay for less than £150!
Be warned though needs alot of power recommend a 600w PSU with at least 31a off the 12v rail.

u dont need over 500W unless ur on SLi or CrossFire . i doubt this card needs more power than a X1900XTX

my X1600 Pro(agp) runs on a 300W PSU...
minimum was 420W and recommended was 450W
so in conclusion .. the "recommended" is BULLSHIT

This site has a nice power supply calculator:

I bought it last week at bestbuy for 189.99 and it works fantastic. Much better than my 6600gt,alot better....

So you guys are saying that this would be ten times better than my 5700 lol? I have to get this thing yesterday if you know what I mean.

Yeah .. it's a hell of a lot faster than your FX 5700 .

Damn , this thing costs 260 dollars in the local stores here :( .
I should start buying hardware online... much cheaper .

I am getting mine today! I am powering it with a 600W with 12v Rail 24 AMPS. I hope that will be enough.

This is a really good card! I got the HIS IceQ3 AGP version (512 GDDR3) for about $300 I think ($ AUS), and I had upgraded to this from a Inno3D FX 5500! Didn't Oblivion look good! With Oblivion I found that having a faster processor can also give a performance edge.

Fantastic card for AGP. The only problem I had with it is that it was only compatible with a small number of motherboard chipsets. It would not run on half of my Pentium 4 era motherboards.

I purchased one of these cards for almost nothing on account of the fact that the owner couldn't test it. I honestly thought I was buying a dead card with a good heat sink! Boy was I surprised when it worked perfectly.
