There is a market for AGP video cards but it isn't that high.

I believe it is PCI

I confirm, it's PCI.

If I remember well, voodoo 3 was the first in agp format.

Before that, you had to daisy chain them with your primary graphic card with a vga cable.

I still have my pair of voodoo 2 for sli in a drawer, I'm rich!

I had oil cooled my voodoo 2s, I could never get them clean afterward and had tossed them.

Friend did oil cooled tub. ISO bath I think was the only thing that every got any of it cleaned, think he had let evrything soak overnight. Had to re-paste everything afterwards.

Not even a 1080Ti and no NVME drive and he wants $500. You could build a new i3 13th gen + a used RX 5700XT for close to this amount.

An Oculus Rift is $50 right now on Vancouver FBM. Counting the rest of the rig, it's at best $600 to $700? 10th gen i5 is about the same as a 3600X and those are like $50 to $80.
