Ummmm...yes??

Definetly dude, especially if you can afford it. That 7800GS was the best thing to happent o AGP. I'm glad the dealers realized AGP wasn't dead instead of trying to force everyone into PCIe, like they did to me

I was going to stick with AGP and get a 7800GS but I changed my mind. Its kind of pointless to spend all that money and be limited to just that card as the highest performer. Im now looking at a 7800GT instead.

 

[KEITHRH12]

is it a good oc'er?

Yes, they overclock well, but they have good performance as well at stock.

Like massa...I mean bigval said, you'll be limited for future upgrades PROBABLY as I'm sure this will probably be it for AGP, but if your just wanting to do a good upgrade that would last you a year or so and THEN move up, it would be a good buy

buy it if you arent going to do a new build within the next 6-12 months. any less and you should just wwait and go pci-e.

500/1390 is a reachable goal, The current version of Rivatuner doesn't support
the card as of yet...
So we cannot yet determine whether it's unlockable or not...

Is it a 20 pipe card? I can't remember, although I used to know...

Then whats the point of the GS then? It's basicly a 6800GT with the G70 core..I thought it was a 7800GT in AGP form....

Hmmm....

 

[Commander Kool]

I dunno, that is pretty lame if you ask me.

 

[KEITHRH12]
