Why did Nvidia....

I dont understand one thing. Why is it Nvidia came out with their card using something as slow as AGP 8x? I don't understand. AGP is so horridly slow. . . it doesnt make sense??? 2.1GB/s. . . talk about a M'F'n bottleneck....

Um, how else are you going to connect it to your motherboard?

Motherboards have an AGP port, nVidia made an AGP card, am I missing something here?

erm... what the??? 8x AGP is more than enuff really for now, currently ya don't even see much difference between 4x & 8x, so what would be the point of them trying to make a new standard??? Heck, i still run my GF4 on AGP 2x since my mobo don't go any higher than that.

Ahh, the old school ISA...

Be hard pressed to find a new technology board that employs that anymore...
