1. darn.. i was really counting on an AGP 8800... :-(

2. Finally

3. Not surprising...When things get too difficult to solve, Nvidia will give up on it, leaving the end-user high and dry.

Other examples include their:
* SoundStorm (Audio Processing Unit)
* NVIDIA Firewall
* NVIDIA LinkBoost (overclocking buses)

4. Missinformation!
In Akihabara you can easily find 8800GT and 8800GTS on AGP8x, so...pls search better....

5. Really they see no demand? When the agp versions of the 3800 series sells just as well as the pci-e versions...

I am curious as to where you saw that data?

6. In my opinion the money wasted on AGP would be much better spent on a low-end to mid-range modern platform with PCI Express, since the AGP bus is tied to chipsets that are really really old and likely don't support much of anything new these days. AGP card prices these days are inflated because the remaining makers are trying to soak as much possible from a basically dead market.

7. Out with the old and in with the new! I really loved my old IC7-G motherboard and I tried to hold onto the old AGP bus but it wasn't happening. Besides, initially AGP was just a jury rigged work around to get faster speeds because they didn't want to create a whole new bus... at least, that's the story I heard. So good riddance!

8. @ 'TAViX ' -

What are you talking about?
There is NO NViDIA 8xxx AGP card on the planet.

I challenge you to give just one link to an existing
manufacturer's product.

9. This is sad news for us AGP user… I was hopping to see 8 series or 9 series AGP from Nvidia. Well thank you ATI for not forgetting us. 3850 AGP is our answer. That’s if we can find one.

10. nvidia are cockfags, they expect people to buy whole new components every 6 months as their support stops after that.
