ATi is the only choice for AGP cards, since Nvidia stopped making them years ago. And they only make 1 agp card built for serious gaming, which is the Radeon 3850HD. The next lowest card is the Radeon 2600, so the 3850 is probably your only choice.

You just said you wanted an AGP one.  Which is it?  At least that's what I took "gap" as.

Avoid the 9800s, ATM they are all renamed 8800 GTS 512s with slightly faster ram. Save some cash and grab a GTS 512 or wait for GT200 which is about 2-3 months out.

I picked myself up a 8800 gt super clocked edtion and it can play every game at max settings and high fps at 1280x1024 and it handles everything i throw at it. I play crysis on everything high and get 30-45fps cant do very high but i think i have to sli but i dont know.

I have an 8800GTS OC sitting in my shopping cart at Newegg.com, waiting for the moment I feel comfortable buying that and some others. It might not be bleeding edge, but my plan is to get an SLI motherboard with an AM2+ slot in a few months, at which time I can get a second 8800GTS and buy myself even more time on the video front. At that point I'll probably go quad-core, too. "Bleeding edge" is over-rated these days since the recipe is becoming one of "more" more so than "better", given the increasing commonality of multi-card and multi-core technologies.

Two of the better last-gen cards seems to be the way to go over one of the current gen. If you have the money to get two of the current-gen... power to you.

EDIT:
Reviewed the benchmarks and realized I misread them.
Switched to the 8800GT OC.. which is actually cheaper than the GTS and has better benchmarks. Weird.
