Ati to come with x700xt, x700pro, x700. Finally a 9800p replacement

It looks like Geforce FX cards won't be that compatible with much of the new dX9 software coming out due to an issue in the pixel shader hardware. There is a flaw in nVidia's pixel shader 2.0 architecture and consequently causes a cascade effect in certain dX8 games because of backward compatibility problems with pixel shader 1.2 based code.
Certain dX9 shader code is also incompatible with these chips which means a lot of new software will not work correctly. This problem looks set to be present in nVidia's PS3.0 technology as well, so the 6800 has the dX8 cascade problem, and will most likely have problems with upcoming dX9 releases as well.

there is no fix for this - it is a hardware problem

Have you guys noticed that there isn't even a PCI Express chipset for the A64 yet? ATI and Nvidia would have to be stupid to release PCI Express-only gpus this early. Until there is an AMD chipset that supports PCI Express there will still be AGP cards made. IMHO of course.

I wonder if these will be PCIe-only?
