Default Gainward BLISS 7800 AGP vs XFX 7800 Extreme AGP - 06-05-2006, 23:19 | posts: 106 | Location: UK

Hey
Gainward BLISS 7800 AGP is on sale this week for the same price as the XFX EE However, i'm just wondering, is it actually any better than the XFX? I mean it has lower clocks, but 4 more pipelines. So is it?
Does anyone have 3dmark06 scores to show? Also, is the cooler actually quiet, and keep the card as cool as any other 7800 cooler?

THe BLISS is better than the XFX, and the BLISS 7800GS+ is even better as it uses the 7900GT core.

Sure thing!
The Gainward BLISS 7800GS+ (512MB GDDR3, 24 pipes) is a rock solid card, but rather pricy
Simply put it's a 7900GT in disguise.

Because, they were smart to try something different as they realised money could be made as many ppl needed a high end AGP even though it is overpriced.
