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 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.
The G84 is set to replace Geforce 7600 GS cards and these cards sell for around €100, which is not bad deal for an AGP card.
The AGP version is possible due to the fact that G84 chips are pin-to-pin compatible with Geforce 6600 and 7600, so there were no modifications required in order that AGP market gets its DirectX 10 card.
G84 AGP 라고 명명된 7600gs AGP카드의 새로운 계승자가 나올 거라고 합니다.
4월에 출시가 예정되어 있고 G84 AGP는 7600gs를 대신해서 대략 12만원 정도에 팔릴 거라고 합니다.
G84칩은 지포스 6600, 7600과 핀의 호환성이 있기 때문에 AGP버전이 가능하다고 하네요
따라서 제조사들은 AGP시장으로 다이렉트10카드를 내놓기 위해서 따로 특별한 수정이 필요 없다고 합니다.
