Default So Nvidia has cancelled production of ALL AGP cards except the 6800Gs?

Currently 70% of the graphics card sold are AGP.
So AGP is still a money maker for NVIDIA and ATI.

I don't understand your point. First, Nvidia makes _GPUs_ (ICs), not
videocards. Second, they stopped production of GPUs with native AGP
interface, but board makers still can make AGP cards by using the AGP-PCIe
brigde chip. Third, AGP is dead. The current crop of AGP cards is still
fast enough for the latest AGP systems, and next generation cards also
want a faster system that will have PCIe.

So what?
