HD3850 AGP announced:

Wonder what driver it will use; Catalyst 7.7 obviously won't work. :-P

I'm certain this is a stupid question, but it's the only kind of
question I have on this subject right now!

Is a HD3850 AGP definitely/noticably faster than a X1950 Pro? Assuming
I want to stay AGP right now for reasons that are my own, would the
performance be a worthwhile boost?

Thanks...

The HD3850 AGP hasn't been benchmarked yet, though we can expect performance
to be similar to the PCIe version. You can compare the HD3850 PCIe against
the X1950 Pro using the Tomshardware VGA charts:
http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html .

Anandtech shows the HD3850 to be generally faster than the X1950XTX.

All this, of course, assumes you got a decent CPU installed on that AGP
motherboard.

Thank you very much!
