Q about Gainward BLISS GeForce 7800 GS+ SILENT 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (AGP)

[Mullins]

I have just ordered one of these cards "Gainward BLISS GeForce 7800 GS+ SILENT 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (AGP)"

In the card number it says 7800, but in the specs it says its a 7900gt on agp which is correct? Is card is exactly the same as a pci express version apart from slightly lower stock speeds?

its called the 7800GS+ but it uses the 7900gt core similar to the ones available on pci-express boards, just abit slower.

There was a thread about the GS and GS+ here

but basically, yes. The Gainward Bliss 7800GS+ AGP, is a 7900GT PCIE card bridged to AGP. This means the clock has to run a little slower (so i gather) but I thnk you shouls see near 7900gt performance. I ummed and ahhed about one of these long enough for the 939 PCIe boards to become old tech , so I didn't actually get one. I was sorely tempted, though I think my money will be going elsewhere.

Yeah it is a 7900 GT, but Nvidia would not let them call it a 7900 GT as they make them.

Thanks for the confirmation

Here is the cool thing 24 pixel pipelines.
Also at stock clock it has 46Gb/s and 500/700 51 Gb/s.
