HD 2600 XT, HD 2600 Pro, HD 2400 Pro in AGP on Sapphire Site ( 1 Views )

1. Coming soon to an AGP slot near you...Sapphire and DX10. If you click on the links for the cards, you're directed to the PCI-E specs however ......

   ......and just to get it out of the way. Yes, all of us with AGP motherboards already know we should upgrade to PCI-E. Thanks.

   For mid range cards AGP and PCI-e are really about equal. While PCI-e isnt that much cards are around the same price as AGP cards, you still have to figure in the cost of a new motherboard ect.
   
   I am personally excited for the 2400 AGP, it will fit nicely into my MC/server. With the Built in HDMI and UVD, now i wont have to really do a major upgrade on it now.

5. Any hints yet on what the 2600s are meant to compete with? Presumably they're to be pitched against the 8600 GTS?

   Exactly right. The 2600XT should be in the ballpark of the 8600GTS 320GB, hopefully it will have 512MB on board.

   It will be in the range of the 8600 not the 8800

   It's 8600 GTS, not 8800 GTS. And 512 MB on a 128 bit memory bus, will yield you virtually no advantage.

   Thanks. Mis-typed and fixed.

10. Does anyone know how the X1950PRO AGP compares to the HD 2600XT in terms of performance?

    PCIe is much more $... it means a new MB and cpu, and probably new ram. This also entails a new cooling system and possible a new psu.
    
    However you have a point... the cpu limitations of an agp system are beginning to show, and at this point getting a 8 or 2X00 series agp card is probably not worth it, unless you caught the very end of the agp mobos.
    *bows to the inevitable*
    
    It still feels nice to be remembered, though :D

13. Arcygenical doesn't usually post in leetspeak. I think it was intended as humor/sarcasm.

14. Translated Review for the PCI-E HD2600XT - card doesn't look too promising.

    Although I guess no one should complain. Several months ago if someone posted that there was going to be a DX10 AGP part they would have recieved a total smackdown and told they were nutz.

    Im glad I didnt wait on that crap. The 2600xt cant even beat the 8600gt much less the gts. The only game where it was close to even the gt was in HL2. What a joke if these benchmarks are real.

    Yeah, I know. Let's hope something got lost in the translation. From what I've previously these cards were suppose to out-do the 8600GTS and according to the benches it ain't even close.

17. ATI is always slow to release decent drivers. I would expect better frame rates on there next driver release.
