NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS AGP: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 7900 GS AGP sales 2 April 2006. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Curie architecture and made with 90 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.32 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 42.24 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via AGP 8x interface. 1x Molex power connector is required.
