We had the capability to ascertain that XFX company not only announced the AGP- versions geForce 7900 GS and GeForce 7950 GT but also began to sell these video card. As assert video card producers , demand for graphical solutions with AGP 8x support is sufficiently high; therefore there is no need to doubt on the market success of those new card .
The curiosity of overclocker was strengthened with geForce 7900 GS version ( interface PCI express x16 ) due to its famous overclocking potential. What will be the impact of transitional bridge HSI in overclock? To answer this question we used the AGP- version geForce 7900 GS from XFX.
Video card is equipped with 256 mb memory of type GDDR- 3, operating frequencies are equal to 450/320 MHz, video chip have 20 pixel shader and 5 vertex processors. This video card uses 90 nm chip g71 revision A2:
Next on the printed-circuit board it is possible to reveal the chip of transitional bridge HSI, which ensures the support of interface AGP 8x.
Video card is equipped with 1.4 ns memory from hynix production .
Concrete video card copy was overclocked from frequencies 450/1320 MHz to 550/1500 MHz.
Associates subjected video card GeForce 7900 GS with interface AGP 8x to test at the default frequencies. Using motherboard asus P4c800 (Intel 875P), processor Pentium 4 3.2 GHz with 1 mb cache in the second level and 2 X 512 mb memory of type DDR400 , video card worked with drivers forceWare 93.82.


It is natural that overclock can improve those results. For example, in tests series of 3DMark increase in frequencies from 450/1320 MHz to 550/1500 MHz ensures increase in the speed by 6-13%. if we considers that existing AGP- 8x Radeon x1950 pro have poor overclocking potential , than the owners of systems with this interface type can be interested in AGP- version geForce 7900 GS.
