<blockquote><i>2005/1/27 - New non-PCIe graphics card keeps AGP mainboard users smiling
Albatron AGP6200: Great alternative for Mainboards with AGP interface!<p>
Who said you can't upgrade to high quality video graphics without a PCI-Express VGA card and a new PCI-Express Mainboard? You didn? hear that from Albatron Technology, who recently announced its mid-range AGP6200 VGA card employing NVIDIA's NV43V GPU. <p>
The NV43V is a GPU that uses PCI-Express technology but has been adapted to the AGP interface. NVIDIA accomplished this by designing an HIS (High Speed Interconnect) chip to translate signals between AGP and PCI-Express thus preserving the original PCI-Express core and bandwidth of the GPU. The result is a high-flying, reasonably priced, AGP alternative for those who want to extend the life of their AGP based mainboard.<p>
The NV43V GPU is designed using a 0.11 micron process technology with 4 pipelines. This GPU comes with Pure Video Technology and supports Microsoft DirectX 9.0C along with Shader Model 3.0. <p>
The AGP6200 comes with 300MHz core frequency and 128 MB of DDR memory (128-bit). D-Sub, TV-Out and DVI interfaces are all supported. Finally, Albatron made sure that the AGP6200 would operate reliably under heavy stress and load by using only Japanese capacitors.<p>
Users who want to upgrade their graphics don't have to put away their AGP based mainboards just yet. Albatron's AGP6200 comes to the rescue with all the trimmings of a performance AGP card without the high-priced PCIe upgrade penalties.</i></blockquote><p>
