AGP gets one last boost up, introducing the New HD3850XT AGP 8X

Featuring DX 10.1 Support; this is the world’s most powerful AGP card.

PowerColor is the first partner to list HD 3800 card for AGP. The AGP version of HD 3850 PCS will work at lower clocks when compared to the PCI-Express version. HD3850 PCS works at 720 MHz for the core and 900 MHz for memory (1800 MHz effective). The AGP version works at more modest 668 MHz for the core and 828 MHz (1656 MHz effective) for 512MB of GDDR3 memory. Unlike the PCI-Express version, this card lacks Crossfire connectors, and has a heatsink that covers memory modules.
