The reason you are having trouble finding one is that nobody makes one. There is a 256 meg version, but ultimately if you are willing to pay that much for a video card, you should spend money on avoiding AGP. |

yeah I found out they only make the X1950 pro 512MB in AGP verion so that is the model I am After now instead of the XT that is pci-e version only. sapphire and HIS are the only one that made the 512MB version that I know of. AGP is not dead yet with these type cards. the only other card better then these are the XT & XTX series of these same cards and the new 8800 GTX's by Nvidia and they cost around the same so there's nothing wrong with these AGP's when compared to anything else out there and they can also do crossfire set-up. |
| testicle187:
AGP cannot do crossfire and the X1950 Pro cards are Directx 9 video cards whereas all new cards made are Directx 10. They are good cards, but AGP is dying out altogether. http://www.xpcgear.com/100229l.html That card is much better and would probably cost about the same if not less than an X1950 card. |

Hi I did not see that card yet and will have to check into that. I dont have anything that runs direct x10 and not sure if there is anything out that is directx10 yet but if so my single core pc probably would not cut it anyhow so I am not too concerned about that really. I use soft15K and not sure if the 2600XT will even work or not with it but I know the X1950 pro will. I will compare the 2 but dont see why the X1950 pro's are $120.00+ used and newegg still has the HIS version new for $289.99 without shipping if these 2600 XT's are $120.00 or less new. |
