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.

I was just about to buy a 7800gs too. I'm going to wait and see how much this thing costs.

I want that card. Too bad Gainward doesn't sell in the US anymore

Notice how the box pic in the Inquirer article has 7800GS AGP on it and PCI Express beneath it?

That is one confusing box.
