Oh, maybe I just happen to own patents on the PCI Express technology and am just trying to get people to go with PCI-E instead of AGP. Plus you've obviously performed similar tests yourself and found results that conflict with my claims though you've for some reason forgotten to share them with us. On the other hand, perhaps your toilet just overflowed. -
Although I do not have the UMark results from the tests, I did look up a couple of the 3DMark 2005 results:
Score: 4078
ID: 271176
Desc: Athlon 64 3500+ GeForce 6800 Ultra AGP - No O.C.
Date: 2004-11-11
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 2203 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra
425 MHz / 1101 MHz
OS: Microsoft Windows XP
Res: 1024x768@32 bit
Score: 4571
Desc: Athlon 64 3500+ GeForce 6800 GT PCI-E - No O.C.
ID: 525897
Date: 2005-01-28
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 2212 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT
351 MHz / 1002 MHz
OS: Microsoft Windows XP
Res: 1024x768@32 bit
The performance gains in UT2004 were even higher.
I guess you can look up the IDs if you have a 3DMark account.Comment

AGP Does get Owned
IMO your better off getting a PCI-E Mobo and buying a 6800 Ultra, it seems you'll get about equal perfomance and gain a more futureproofed board (and the mobos more than likely better than your old one anyway)Comment

I didn't click on that link. But I did see earlier today that the theinquirer.net announced Nvidia would not release an AGP version of their 7800.
They did say however that ATI will come out with an AGP version of their R520. Although the top end cards may only represent a small percentage of sales, they will lose respect of a lot of computer users. It kind of looks like Nvidia wants to shoot themselves in the foot just to force a new technology on more people. Perhaps they believe this will lead to more sales. After all, they make chipsets on motherboards.
I think that's actually funny in a way. ATI will get new fans for supporting people who don't want to pay more to get another motherboard and CPU.Comment
