graphic's card agp or pcie

[hyspec]

i have a 3500 amd 64 with agp the g/card is an x800 pro radion, but i want the gforce 7950gt 512 with dual dvi. i have only had my m/b 6 mths, would i be better changing m/d to pcie and get pcie g/card or can i get good results sticking with my m/b and getting an agp g/card?.

Due to limitations of AGP, PCIE is always going to be better.

I have just upgraded tp PCIE, i got the xfx 7950GX2 extreme graphics card. This is an amazingly fast card, definately recommend it.

I would upgrade if you can afford it.

Upgrade if you can so you'll be ready for Vista at the end of the year. Checkout a game called Crysis that runs on Vista - it looks awesome.

I have the Dell XPS700 + Dual Core with SLI 7900 GT's.

I have just moved to PCI-E and got a nice 7900GTX and it rocks.

each to their own really , but if it were me id wait untill the dx10 cards come out at the end of the year and then change that way you wont need to upgrade twice in a year

You can always wait, sometimes you just gotta dive in.

Games will not fully utilise DX10 for ages. Look at DX9 - it's only recently that it seems to have been used to its potential and how long has that been out.

I think my 7900's will do more for a long time to come.

im sure they will im trying to convince myself to step off the upgrade elevator every three months ive had practically most mobos and cpu from 754 thru to 939 and most gpus from 9550 up to 6800ultra it gets expensive and as much as id love a top of the range card considering their prices, ill wait

Good for you Pumpman, I did the same 18 months ago, and I have to say I did not regret it, saved a fortune, plays all ans everthing with good fps as of yet. But when I feel a strain I can and will grab a new card not the latest it has to be said! for a great price.

you already have a top end agp card - so surely the question is get a new mobo and gfx card or not?

think i'll go for a new mobo and gfx, thx for the replies, k on the way.
