Scroll down to the 3rd one in the list the:

Gainward BLISS GeForce 7800 GS+ SILENT 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-032-GW)

7900GT at 450mhz with 512MB ram clocked at 1250mhz

Edit:

Gainward mention it on their home page but they wont refer directly to a 7900 core

Famous BLISS 7800GS 512MB AGP is back and improved.
The last one was based on GeForce 7800GT GPU, this one will surprise you even more.....

Not bad, but how much is it going to be?

With Conroe and AM2 with DDR2 ram around teh corner, now is basically the best time for AGP users to finally upgrade. Except A64 users, conroe will seriously outperform P4 and XP in every benchmark. Plus 2.16ghz was already overclocked to 3.0ghz recently. And 3.0ghz conroe outperformed 7.2ghz P4 in SuperPi. Eventually there is going to be no more high end agp cards, which means the $300+ investment now is probably better spent on a new platform. A64 users can easily pick up PCIe board and 7900GT and voltmod that for probably barely more $.

Yeah they used a PCI-e to AGP bridge, to make this possible.

Its seriously overpriced and a rip-off tbh.

I just purchased a new motherboard made by Asus for my old P4 478 rig which has AGP 8x and a PCI Express graphics slot on it for £31.

Stick a cheaper and faster PCI-E video card in there and you're good to go for less money.

There's no need to be ripped off by outrageous AGP prices anymore, even on older P4 systems.

lol lots it will be about £352

a 3000+ costs £70
939 mobo will be about £40
and the 7900GT PCIE is £200

So the total is £310 which is a much better option than this card

I thought it was a 7800GT with the bridge chip, not a 7900GT.

That is the "non-plus" model. The new "+" model features a bridged 7900 GT chip.

 

[secretanchitman]

thats pretty cool and sneaky...7900GT actually bridged to AGP!

 

[Ichigo]

Didn't Conroe dominate A64?

 

[Ika]

no, conroe BEAT A64, but it didn't DOMINATE it. AM2 comes sort of close.

Gainward do it again! This is the only 7900GT card with 24 pixel pipelines available on AGP. Then along with its 512MB of super-fast GDDR3 memory making this the worlds fastest AGP card ever produced. There is only 1500 units available worldwide!! So be quick as this is a deal not to be missed!


limited edition = ££££££££££££££

Interesting Link. It's in Chinese and my Chinese is not up to snuff. Basically I'm ok with simple sentences but a highly technical sight like that is out of my league. From what I can gather, it's called a 7800GS but it's actually using the 7900 core. Which would hint at extreme overclocking fun for the AGP crowd. Also doesn't use the normal 7900GT cooler.
