XFX 7800 GS AGP Nvidia board

[SUBMAN1]

I hate Zipzoomfly as a company, but this is cheap! $259 for an XFX 7800 GS AGP.

Zipzoomfly is fast in getting you your product, but you better pray that it is OK when you get it! They have crappy customer service after the sale - that is if you can get a hold of someone!

i have this gpu its fab im upgrading now to an fx-60 with raptor drive andg7950 1mb graphics card plus 4gb of memory this card is for sale if anyone wants it its the top agp card

so is it worth spending the dough? i mean, how much longer is this card and agp as a whole going to be viable in light of all the new products/games in the pipeline, each one more gpu intensive than the last?

Stay away from the 7950 - its loud and there is nothing you can do about it.

I'm talking from a noise standpoint. You'd be way better off buying 2x 7900's and running them in SLI - not only will it be faster, but you can put custom cooling solutions on it. A 7950 will have at least 2 fans on it operating at 50 db constant each (ouch!) and there is nothing you can do about it!
