ummm no? pci-e has dropped alot in price, and hte 7800's can be found for around $300.
Yea lets go back to the past.....PCI-e is newer technology, and AGP is beginning to fade out. Just like how intel is getting rid of pentium 4 and making duo's. Also the new AMD m2 sockets will be out sometime soon.
Its newer technology, its faster, and better.
thats why AGP outpreforms PCIe right, and the 7800gt which is about $300, isnt anywhere close to the prefromance that you would get out of the GS, or the GTX
yea agp does out preform pci-e.......lol
PCI express is 2 times faster than agp. PCI-e's transfer rate is 16x, while agp is 4x/8x. So that means depending on the agp card, pci-e is either 4 or 2 times faster.
Now the card itself may not be faster, but the transfer rate is, which will give you some extra fps. Until the next gen of intel and amd's come out, pci-e wont be a huge difference.
