When I went looking, I found that nVidia was making claims to 8X with their first FX GPU's, from November, 2002, and all of their NF2 chipsets started off with AGP 8X capability, they claimed. That gave 8X two years of life, anyway. AGP "Pro" seems to have fallen through the cracks when it came to the searches I did for nVidia vs. that standard.
