This BFG is based on the newer G71 core (7900), but unfortunately, it has the same Pixel/Vertex pipelines as other 7800 GSs (16/6), and to this date nobody have successfully unlocked any extra pipelin Note 3: This card is NOISY! compared to my old 6600GT with Zalman VF700-Cu HSF on it this sounds like a motorcycle!! and unfortunatily to this date, there's no 3rd party coolers I can buy that fits this card&:(3 :( but thanks to the BIOS editor, I was able to reduce the 2D and 3D fan speeds to only 30% to eliminate the extreme noise, now this silent overclocked baby is idling at 43-44c and never goes beyond 55c under very extensive loads.
Good :)ws :) Note 2: Almost every 7800 GS I saw online (except the limited edition Gainward BLISS), is based on the G70 core (Same as 7800 GTX with fewer pipelines). Note 1: On BFG site, it says that this card requires 400watts minimum PSU with at least 20A on the 12v rail, but guess what, my Antec PSU was making this annoying high pitched sound (irrelevant to the card, it's like this since I bought it) so I'm RMAing it, and I'm running my overclocked system with 7800GS just fine on my old HEC 300watts PSU, with 15A on the 12v rail for several days with extensive load without a problem.

SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.10 320GB REVIEW DRIVERS
Power dongle, manual, drivers CD "No games". BFG GeForce 7800 GS OC 256MB GDDR3 AGP8x. I bought this card for my aging AGP system replacing a 6600 GT, the 6600 GT is not a poor performer, but I had a chance to get the 7800 really cheap so what the hell! :) Now I can keep my AGP system for another year at least, and wont dump it in the trash when I get a new one :) I know I know, the AGP is somehow dead and unheard of today :), and also the card isn't that new, but it's based on a different core than what was released in last February, so I thought I might give this mini review for anyone interested!
