Tul's PowerColor operation has launched a version if its Radeon X1950 Pro graphics card for punters who've resisted the urge to go with PCI Express and are sticking to AGP 8x.

The GPU has 36 pixel shaders on board fed by eight vertex shaders. The chip connects to the board's 256MB of GDDR 3 video memory across a 256-bit bus. The memory is clocked to 700MHz, the GPU core to 600MHz, PowerColor said.

The PowerColor X1950 PRO 256MB AGP has a pair of dual-link DVI ports and an s-video socket for TV connections. It comes with suitable cables.

There's no word yet on pricing or availability. ®
