Gigabyte 4650 AGP card anyone?

4650 AGP from Gigabyte
Looked through Gigabyte website and I found this rare 4650 species with AGP interface. It was certainly the most wanted card IF the year now was 2004 when dual core optimized games were no where to be found.

Well, it was certainly a nice upgrade for anyone having Pentium 4 systems with Northwood or Prescott core, or any AMD socket 939/754 AGP systems. Throw a stone over a crowd of PC systems, your stone will probably land on a system with PCI-E interface, the De facto graphics interface since 2005. The thing is, AGP system is rare and I have no idea why Gigabyte want to do a 4650 AGP card. Heck, even the most powerful AGP card is the ATI 3850. For anyone upgrading their AGP system with 4650, the CPU will likely bottleneck the whole system, not the graphic card.

Anyway, for people with AGP based HTPC, 4650 is a good upgrade as it only consumes 48W, thanks to its 55nm manufacturing process. And it inherits all the features of ATI’s 4XXX series features like ATI Avivo HD, DirectX 10.1, Shader Model 4.1 and HDMI ready.
