Today, a few people, including myself, got exited by the (mistaken) advertisement for the release of an AGP version HD4770 (PowerColor). http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=94122
IMO, lots of people would like one. Although I'm equally sure that on a global scale it isnt really going to add up to enough sales dollar for PowerColor to recover their investment costs. But who knows?! I would be interested in buying 2 or 3 of them if they existed. Perhaps others too. Perhaps even as a marketing stunt, a "short-run" of 10,000 cards would help them climb the "interesting company for enthusiasts" ranking. The knock-on goodwill might buy them some loyal customers for the future. After all, anyone upgrading an AGP system this year will definitely be in the market for a new PCIe based card in 2010/2011. And what do they say about Customer Lifetime Value?
So this is a little petition (for fun). Answer YES to one or more of the options above if you would/might be interested in buying a PowerColor AGP HD4770 if it was available.
Sorry, the second option should read:
"I would consider recommending it to a friend who was still on AGP"
