Editing Accelerated Graphics Port (section)

===Later use===
With the increasing adoption of PCIe, graphics cards manufacturers continued to produce AGP cards as the standard became obsolete. As GPUs began to be designed to connect to PCIe, an additional PCIe-to-AGP bridge-chip was required to create an AGP-compatible graphics card. The inclusion of a bridge, and the need for a separate AGP card design, incurred additional board costs.

The GeForce 6600 and ATI Radeon X800 XL, released during 2004–2005, were the first bridged cards.<ref>Gasior, Geoff.

In 2011 [[DirectX]] 10-capable AGP cards from AMD vendors (Club 3D, HIS, Sapphire, Jaton, Visiontek, Diamond, etc.) included the [[Radeon R600|Radeon HD 2400, 3450, 3650]], 3850, [[Radeon R700|4350, 4650, and 4670]]. The HD 5000 AGP series mentioned in the AMD Catalyst software was never available. There were many problems with the AMD Catalyst 11.2 - 11.6 AGP hotfix drivers under Windows 7 with the HD 4000 series AGP video cards;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=279&threadid=152471&highlight_key=y&keyword1=agp |title=AMD community forums |access-date=15 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007084211/http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=279&threadid=152471&highlight_key=y&keyword1=agp |archive-date=7 October 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> use of 10.12 or 11.1 AGP hotfix drivers is a possible workaround. Several of the vendors listed above make available past versions of the AGP drivers.

By 2010, no new motherboard chipsets supported AGP and few new motherboards had AGP slots, however some continued to be produced with older AGP-supporting chipsets.

In 2016, Windows 10 version 1607 dropped support for AGP.<ref>{{Cite web|title=AGP support in Windows 10 Anniversary Update (1607)|url=https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-security-winpc/agp-support-in-windows-10-anniversary-update-1607/bfcdf4ba-2c94-4ede-90a8-0bf587f27332?auth=1}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|date=November 2022}} Possible future removal of support for AGP from open-source Linux kernel drivers was considered in 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |title=AGP Graphics Card Support Proposed For Removal From Linux Radeon/NVIDIA Drivers |url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AGP-Radeon-Nouveau-Drop-RFC |website=Phoronix |author=Michael Larabel |date=11 May 2020}}</ref>{{update inline|date=January 2024}}
