the gs HAS BEEN OUT for pci-e...
Also, wtf did u do to get ur parents to spend $1000 for ur Bday?
My parents wouldn't even spend that much in 2 Bdays!!!
The most I ever get is under $400 and educational + beneficial for things besides gaming.

and i think u havnt been looking properly becausee the 7800 is nativly PCI-e and has to use a bridge to work on AGP.

and personally id get a x1900xt, whats wrong with ATI? the x1900xt is the best card u can get atm.
