TheInquirer takes a look at the Gainward Bliss 7800 GS 512 MB AGP card. This baby is clocked at 425MHz core and 1200Mhz memory so it was natural to expect that this card will lose against EVGA 7800 GS 460/1350 MHz. Well it didn't!

This card's magic is that it actually has G71, Geforce 7800 GT PCIe core bridged down to AGP. It has G70 core with full 20 pipelines that worked at 425 MHz and famous BR2 chip managed to bridge the card down to AGP. It finally made perfect sense as 20 pipelines has to be faster than the 16 that you get with EVGA card. EVGA 7800 GS card works at 460 MHz 1350Mhz core and we managed to reproduce the same clocks with the Gainward card. Gainward uses Arctic cooling for this card and we can tell that it does the job. It is very silent and it will keep the card cool and even let you overclock a lot.

Gainward 7800 GS Bliss card is the fastest AGP card that we came across. It smashes the competition and it comes with 512MB of memory. This card is definitely going to get you the top performance out of your AGP system. It should roughly cost €400 with VAT in Euroland and will definitely give you all you need.
