Thread: Leadtek Win Fast A7800 GS TDH Graphics card

Gamers on the AGP platform have something to cheer about-the 7800GS
AGP is here! The Leadtek Winfast A7800GS TDH is the most powerful AGP based graphics solution that money can buy. Using the 7800GS chipset, the card comes with 256 MB of 256-bit memory. Being the first AGP card based on the 7800 series chipsets, the GPU uses 16 pixel shader units and 6 vertex shader units as compared to 20 pixel shader and 7 vertex shader units in the 7800GT.

The Geforce 7800GS from Nvidia uses the 1l0nm G70 core that is clocked at 375 MHz and the 256 MB GDDR3 memory is clocked at 1.2 GHz. The package is pretty impressive with two full game titles-Prince of Persia Warrior Within and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. The box contains driver and utilities disc, DVI-VGA converter and TV output cable.



Performance: The 7800GS is your best bet if you want an AGP card that can
run all the current games at maximum details. Looking at the bigger picture,
the performance is a tad disappointing when compared to the 7800GT, which consistently stays ahead of the 7800GS. We tried over clocking the card; we were able to push the clocks to 425 MHz/1.35 GHz, the performance gain was between 3-7 percent depending on the benchmark.

For: Fastest AGP card with ShaderModel 3.0 support; good software package.
Against: Slower than the 7800GT and 7600GT; overpriced.
