the x8xx line

[bryanf445]

does anyone know if any of these will be released as agp?

Yes. X800Pro, X800XT and X800XT PE are all AGP.

I don't see future high-end ATI products going AGP. They probably like having a less crowded product lineup and there is a push to move into PCI-Express. Especially by OEMs, which is where they sell to the most.

ahhh i forgot to mention thats what i meant (the new lineup that is).. and isnt there a connector to switch from pcie to agp or something? though that is in some way irrelevant

and isnt there a connector to switch from pcie to agp or something?

Not that I know of. I'd think that the signals would be too different to be able to do that efficiently.

Hehe
You are probably thinking of the bridge chip. That's a chip they put onto the graphics card so they can take a PCI-Express graphics chip and bridge it to an AGP slot. It's not an adapter to use between PCI-Express and AGP cards slots.
