4670 AGP

1GB to boot. :rolleyes:

From what I've seen of PCIe reviews, the 4670in 512mb is a hair slower than the 3850 in 512mb. Unless the 1gb makes a difference, my guess is that it's just a move to a more available platform.

there must be more AGP MB out there then I thought, didn't think they could justify this.
 
Do....the newer socket motherboards.....even get made with AGP? Wouldn't this card be bottlenecked by any cpu it could possibly be paired with?

There is some Athlon X2s and C2D CPUs out there with only AGP, so probably not. Though I think these are in the minority.
 
Nice...I got an MSI AM2 mobo with an x2 5200 and an AGP port that could use an upgrade. Perhaps next payday...

why would anyone get AGP when you can just cut PCI-E and make it fit.

For those who are interested in a 4670 AGP, it looks like Diamond has a one that is labeled as a 4650:

Although it is only 512MB, it appears to have the clocks of a 4670 and is cheaper than the "real" 4670's on newegg.

I think some of the older higher end Socket 939 and older AGP LGA 775 systems out there can handle one final AGP card (like the 4850 or 4770) before becoming too CPU-bound, but that's just speculation. Of course, if such a card does come out and is priced at ~$200 (compared to the sub-$100 PCI-E equivalent version), it may not be worth the purchase.
