NVIDIA Plans DirectX 10 Cards for AGP Slot

February 22nd 2007 | Graphics Cards

Nvidia’s GeForce 7600 GS, its AGP card, will get a new follower, cleverly codenamed G84 AGP. This card will be a Direct X 10 chip aimed at AGP upgrade market, as you have not been able to buy new AGP systems for a while now.

It is an interesting choice as but shows the value of this legacy market. The card is scheduled for April [around €100?] and this means that AGP upgrade market will get a DirectX 10 after all.

Early Vista adopters have to be thrilled about it as it will give them a chance to keep their bellowed Nforce 2 motherboards and Athlon XP CPUs or simply good old Netburst Pentium 4 marchitecture.
