    Fastest AGP card?

    My XFX 6800 Ultra just bit the dust,
    Got on well with this card, played every game I threw at it on highest settings..

    Now it's dead

    What's the fastest possible AGP card I can get?

    Any idea where I can get one at cheapest?

    *edit*
    Would my Alphacool NexXxoS NVXP-3 water block fit this card?

    Nevermind, asked about a place to purshace on the right section and just been reading up,
    Seems that my block will fit the card
    I shall find somewhere to get one cheap and make my purchase.

    Thanks

    Yh i thought it was a 7800gt with 20 pipelines as well not a 7900gt gpu. the only difference between them i think is that one is fitted with arctic silencer gpu cooler and they vary in clock speeds.

    there's 2 version of BLISS 7800GS..

    1. Bliss 7800GS+ 512MB which is basically a 7900GT 24pp with 1.4ns 512MB mem
    2. Bliss 7800GS 512MB, spots a 7800GT 20pp core with slower mem..

    All these are on AGP..

    Yes sawyen is correct. The 7800GS+ is based on the 7900GT and is therefore the one to go for. I expect the Gainward Bliss 7800 GS+ Golden Sample has higher stock clock speeds than the Gainward Bliss 7800GS+.

    To confuse things even more it looks like scan are listing the 7800GS+ as just a 7800GS See Here:

    http://www.scan.co.uk/products/produ...oductID=452275

    The reason i say this is because it states 7900GT in the product line.

    If you order it this weekend be sure to order it from the Today Only Page for the lower price of £245.58 inc VAT.
