BFG GeForce 7800 GS OC 256MB AGP Review

sbohdan · February 4th, 2006

I totally agree with this article written by the videocard experts @ MVKTech.
why neutere a good performer, just because it's an AGP?

If the GeForce 7800 GS AGP had 4 more pixel pipes, or cost about $100 less dollars, we might be able to look you in the eye and say, go for it. Overall, I think most our readers that are still using AGP systems would be better served by moving their upgrade path to more promising horizons.

you can't help but wonder what the hell somebody at NVIDIA was thinking when they decided the GeForce 7800 GS AGP should be a eunuch.

Very good point indeed. Sortof seems like nVidia is trying to get people to start looking down on AGP by making the cards sub-par compared to the PCI-Express counterparts.

By the looks of it though... in the next few years, atleast 70% of most people will have PCI-Express computers. Even those bought from bestbuy.

AGP racist's

even 30% share is pretty big to omit I think :?
also: It's OK to have a lesser card but why does it cost $80 more than a more powerfull GT? :o

BTW, this looks like a great deal for those of you with PCI-E :P
$269 after MIR :D
