BF2S Forums A powerful AGP graphics card.

That's good for the people with an AGP board.. but honestly most AGP boards are so old the rest of the system would just be limiting the 3850's potential.

Jesus, I thaught my AGP x1950 Pro was the end of the road, I really can't see there being a market for something that powerful in such an antiquated format

I assume this card is probably near useless because very few, if any, mobos that support AGP support good enough processors to get the full benefit of this card.

ASrock boards have AGP and take C2D quad cores and DDR2 (albeit slow DDR2).

Oh, I didn't know that.  Seems silly to buy one of those, though.

Indeed it is, I have one of those ASrock boards cos I'd not long bought my AGP x1950 (the big ass IceQ3 Turbo one, smoked everything in it's day) and I wanted a C2D, shitty mobos, can't overclock at all, no voltage control or anything, I'm getting rid of it this week and selling my x1950 as I've had it a year now, best graphics card I've come across, gonna be sad to see it go 8800GT to replace it though
