NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS AGP Launch  | Quote: |  | | |  | Originally Posted by HEXUS |  | | | | | | | | |
Three weeks ago at the time of writing, we spiced up the AGP owner's life with exclusive news of a 7800 GS AGP. Bringing the goodness inherent to NVIDIA's GeForce 7-series PCI Express products to an AGP board, we told you that it'd be 350MHz and bridged to AGP from a PCI Express native GPU.
And we were (nearly) right!

What do you do, or say to a company that does something as unfounded as discontinuing a perfectly acceptable card such as the 6800 Ultra? Well, when NVIDIA pulled off this stunt, we cried foul and sent several e-mails asking them on their ideology behind the move. We were told by a rather bemused character that 6800GS is the next step forward and that we should wait till we got our hands on one to make a final judgment.
Fair enough.

To be completely honest with you, I assumed coming into this article that the NVIDIA 7800 GS would just run all over the 1+ year old ATI X850 XT PE card. That didn't really happen at all. In some tests like Half-Life 2 and FEAR, the ATI card outperformed even the overclocked XFX 7800 GS XT card and left the NVIDIA reference clocked card well behind. I am a bit curious as to why NVIDIA would have allowed that to happen.

OWNERS OF PC SYSTEMS with AGP slots have been getting the shaft lately when it comes to graphics cards. NVIDIA released its GeForce 7 series this past summer, and ATI has introduced not one, but two generations of high-end Radeon X1000-series GPUs. Yet neither company has seen fit to introduce a fast new AGP card, somehow figuring that the upgrade market would prefer PCI Express so overwhelmingly it didn't matter. That seems to be a rather harsh assessment given the fact that one can slide an Athlon 64 X2 into a reasonably decent Socket 939 AGP mobo like the Asus A8V and get a dual-core CPU upgrade.
Fortunately, NVIDIA and BFG Tech are looking to right that wrong by introducing the GeForce 7800 GS OC, which brings the shader power of the GeForce 7 architecture to an AGP slot near you--or at least some of that shader power, anyhow. The GeForce 7800 GS is based on the same G70 GPU that powers other 7800-series graphics cards, but it's cut down to a portion of the full functionality of a GeForce 7800 GTX. Does this G70 "lite" still have what it takes to dominate the AGP graphics upgrade market? Let's find out.

All in all, the GS is a decent performing card, and will quite possibly be the last bastion of the AGP gamer. We've examined the value of the PCI Express upgrade path, and you'll have to decide if that is for you or not right now, based on the pricing economics. As it is, this is easily the best thing you can add to your ailing AGP system.

Budget cards are usually not sexy enough for hardware enthusiasts to warrant a second look. But the new NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS might just pack enough power to make advanced 3D gaming affordable, even for those with a very tight budget. Let's take a look!

We can see that when going from the 7800 GT PCI-Express to a reference 7800 GS AGP, NVIDIA has dropped the core clock speed by 25 MHz, bumped up the memory clock speed by 50 MHz (100 MHz effective), reduced the number of vertex and pixel shader pipes, and very surprisingly, cut the amount of ROP pipes to half. Doing some rough calculations, we can expect a reference GeForce 7800 GS to take about a 15-20% performance hit when compared to the 7800 GT. Please note that the sample sent to us by BFG Technologies belongs to their "OC" line-up, which enjoys slight bumps in core and memory clock speeds, as well as snazzier blue PCB and cooling systems -- those are the numbers you see in brackets.

While the focus is always on the sexy, high-end cards, the reality is that most cards being sold today are lower-end cards. Today, we will take a look at the latest entry-level card to come out of the ASUS factory - the ASUS Extreme N7300GS.
Based on the new NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS GPU, this card will be simple and affordable. But just how fast is it? Will you be able to play 3D games even using this entry-level card? Read on and find out!

With a default core clock of 700MHz, and a memory clock of 1.6GHz. The ASUS EAX X1800XT TOP card is certainly among the best of the X1800XT crop. ASUS has done a wonderful job with a difficult situation. At the end of the day the ASUS EAX X1800XT TOP card is a good card that can hold its own in today's ever changing market, and although the X1900 series has arrived, the TOP X1800XT still rocks in the gaming world.
