Leadtek WinFast A78 GS TDH (GeForce 78 GS) 256MB AGP
Several months ago, considering cards on the basis of X7 with interface AGP, I resulted allegory in the form of trains and stations. Also that though
The schedule has been corrected, all the same on station AGP of a train still went. That is, for this interface capacities
I here very much would like to give once again of a word of representatives ATI told still in the summer of 2004, that is one and a half year ago, when they
Assured, that already to the beginning of 20 market PCI-E will grasp %, accordingly, on as much will be
Market AgP-videokart is cut down. I already then stated scepticism on this question.
So, market AgP-videokart just now prisch'el to the logic end. Yes, it is still great. And even somewhere nearby
30- %. But there mainly already videocards of old releases and toshiba notebook price old generations, and their owners - those who for whatever reasons does not want or
Cannot make a upgrade on PCI-E. By the way, in those days company NVIDIA how will be with PCI-E and AGP, preferred to keep mum, understanding,
What is the forecasts are obviously ungrateful, besides they already then had bridge HSI, and their need AGP-ry'nka simply did not interest: if for whom it is necessary,
Will buy from them new PCI-E-chip, will equip a card with bridge HSI, and the accelerator with AGP-interfeysom will turn out. And in it they have obviously guessed, and have not miscalculated.
Cards with bridge ATI RIALTO have appeared much later and consequently the success was not so great.
Let's return to a theme. Last, so to say, the volley, mass release of products with AGP-interfeysom was more recently. We have tried to combine the cores
Elements of this release and as a result today has appeared toshiba notebook price such original material-popurri where are incorporated both ATI, and NVIDIA, products different
Price niches. Unites their two moments: the general AGP-interfeys, and also an accessory in last advanced ruler of accelerators, completely
Probably, that else there will be any cards with AGP family 7xxx from NVIDIA, can be and there will be something of type X17xx with AGP-osnovoy. But it already
It is improbable. Even already now left cards of family RADEON X1xxx with support AGP have, to put it mildly, not amazing success. And than further,
That of chances that the novelty with such interface will rattle and have an excessive demand, more lesser and less.
The whole epoch leaves. Da-da, almost years has lived AGP in this or that ipostasi, in this or that version. It was on a head above PCI, and now
PCI-E On goals above AGP. Here such destiny. But toshiba notebook price nevertheless years in IT-industrii (such by'stromenyayusch'eysya and growing) are more than 1 years
In something. And consequently an epoch. And now we speak it - farewell. Not good-bye, and farewell! I Repeat, that morally
Death AGP has already come. In spite of the fact that at users still it is a lot of the computers equipped by system payments with interface AGP. Gradually
Today we shall consider very interesting product of class Hi-End - GeForce 78 GS which promises to be up to standard 68 Ultra or even more strongly.
At least, for today it is the newest topovy'y the accelerator from NVIDIA with interface AGP.
And also we shall study three more cards, this time already on the basis of serednyachka X16 PRO and representatives of a younger toshiba notebook price level - X1300.
All four cards are created on the basis of corresponding chips for PCI-E and consequently are equipped by transitive bridges on AGP. Well unless only 78 GS to us it is unfamiliar
On PCI-E sector: it is even more cut down GPU 7800GTX (G70), than 78 GT: only piksel'ny'h sheyderny'h blocks, topmost. And only ROPs.
That is on release of such card have gone already most on there are waste from manufacture G70. All is cut down is hardware, without the slightest sch'ansa for
Certainly it is necessary to talk - and what for this 78 GS, actually, and it is necessary? Our tests will show, that the product can somewhere and better 68 Ultra, but not so
, to consider as its king schedules AGP-cegmenta. Yes, G possesses more optimized conveyors and consequently 3 MHz on a kernel 78 GS will give
Approximately toshiba notebook price as much, how many and 4 MHz on kernel NV (68 Ultra). Can and even more. But not on so much to consider 78 GS as the winner.
However memory is established more dear, than on 68 Ultra, distributing not cheap as bridge HSI (by the way is required, and its price too participates
In the cost price). What for to make a fuss, than it is bad old kind NV40, which has already passed on 0. a micron tehprocess (as well as G70) in the form of NV48?
I think, that the most important answer: to get rid of waste from G70. Well and to remind of itself in segment AGP-kart, to tickle once again nerves to the competitor,
In fact at is not present in this segment of a card with sheydernoy model 3.0. Here and all purpose.
Certainly, the price is toshiba notebook price lowered, it not topovy'y a product of new generation, and consequently its cost of only 3 dollars officially, though in the USA already for a long time
Is on sale strongly more cheaply. Only at you while its cost above 4 dollars (on the middle of March) and consequently profitability of purchase entirely depends
From that is whether will find 68 Ultra more cheaply. And nevertheless X8 XT (PE) to write off from accounts rather early. And this card in our tests sometimes was the leader
For those readers who for the first time get acquainted with 7800, I wish to offer our help material, from which
It is possible to get toshiba notebook price all the basic data on data GPU and cards on its basis. And also below the most important characteristics will be resulted.
Frequencies of work of memory (physical (effective)):: 2 (530) MHz (face value 2 (550) MHz)
Frequencies of work of memory (physical (effective)):: 2 (490) MHz (face value 2 (550) MHz)
Frequencies of work of memory (physical (effective)):: 4 (810) MHz (face value 4 (800) MHz)
Frequencies of work of memory (physical (effective)):: 6 (1200) MHz (face value 6 (1200) MHz)
Time of sample at microcircuits of memory 4.0ns, that corresponds to frequency of work
Time of sample at microcircuits of memory 2.8ns, that corresponds to frequency of work
Time of sample at microcircuits of memory 2.5ns, that corresponds to frequency of work
Time of sample at microcircuits toshiba notebook price of memory 1.4ns, that corresponds to frequency of work
I think, that there is no sense to speak, that dizayny' everyone differ from similar for PCI-E the interface. All four cards are supplied corresponding
Bridges. At products on the basis of X1300/X16 bridges are located from a back, at 78 GS - with obverse. Bridge HSI is heated very strongly, and consequently
Additional cooling is necessary for it. Hence it is expedient for placing on the same party, where also the basic cooler, that, as they say,
Products from Sapphire are very similar to corresponding reference cards with interface PCI-E, it is visible, that much toshiba notebook price is taken from that design very much. And here
The product from GeCube owing to non-standard application DRR2-pamyati, has unique design. Nevertheless, all three payments possess ability
To work with VIVO, but only potentially: microcircuits RAGE Theater anywhere are not present. Why manufacturers have stinted - not clearly. Especially in case of with
And here on 78 GS in general there is no even a potential for VIVO: the landing place under the corresponding codec simply is not present.
Cards have jacks TV-vy'hoda which are unique on a socket, and for a conclusion of the image to TV both through S-Video, and on RCA, are required
Special adaptery'-perehodnik, delivered together with cards. In more detail on TV-vy'hodu it is possible to read through - here.
All three payments are supplied by conclusions VGA (d-Sub) and DVI. Connection to analog monitors with d-Sub (VGA) toshiba notebook price to interfaces on DVI-gnezdah is made
20 x 15 x 32bit x85Hz Max - on the analog interface
25 x 16 / 16 x 12 60Hz Max - on the digital interface
I once again shall remind, that at many earlier investigated G (GTX) 256MB all three frequencies of a kernel were exposed by us with step of MHz, and frequency geometrical
The block was above the others on MHz. About it in detail I wrote already earlier. This difference in MHz takes place
And the last: all cards are equipped by sockets for connection of an external feed. As they say, have lived: now and toshiba notebook price Low-End products with AGP-interfeysom
Demand an external feed. Personally I of it not absolutely understand: really to support X1300, a feed with AGP-shiny' does not suffice?
RADEON 96 XT (0. microns) had conveyors and 5 MHz on the chip, and did not demand such. This all is strange.
Very simple design. Even to describe there is nothing. A standard square radiator with the fan in the center.
But shumnost' it has not been noticed. However, similar coolers are known for that after any time can start to rustle. I repeat - can, but
Necessarily should. H13 it is heated not so strongly, therefore such device quite consults with the problem.
The device is very similar to a reference cooler of the closed type for X700-videokart, drives air through a radiator. Microcircuits of memory on obverse
To the party are toshiba notebook price cooled, on turnaround - is not present, that is a minus of the given system.
The system of cooling is similar previous by a principle, only the sizes it is more. And it is exact also microcircuits on a face sheet are cooled by this cooler,
Cooler - almost a copy reference for all GeForce 68 cards. Okrugloy forms the closed narrow long radiator, on one of its ends is
Works on weak turns, therefore noise practically is not present. All system to the big plate on the back of a card which also serves as a radiator fastens

Not less traditional design Sapphire with toshiba notebook price the sad alien (likely as the expert in marketing there works - here so hard to sell
Sapphire on Mars). Also glossy super, inside of which cardboard box.
In it in plastic compartments there are all contents. The card is rigidly fixed. By the way, on the back of a box there is a window through which it is visible
The similar boxing where the design is a little bit changed, and the alien became malicious. Interestingly, here employees Sapphire all such cheerful, even fervent

GeCube RADEON X13 256MB AGP - the card has shown very quite good results for the price, having conceded only
As a matter of fact GeForce 6600. I hope, that price comparisons will be in favour of a product considered today, differently certainly, it becomes uninviting.
Though old men toshiba notebook price from the stana has laid on both lopatki. However, frequency of work of a kernel and memory speak for itself, and more effective
Architecture. I wish to remind once again, that a product it is high-grade supports sheydery' 3.0, therefore can is full compete to products from
stana NVIDIA. Here with a complete set the manufacturer has pumped up. I understand, that Low-End a product and what to supply with its everyone ON it would not be desirable, and necessary
Especially, however time have let out in retail, be kind to not save on matches. Even adapters necessary have not put!
Quality of a card at height, censures for work was toshiba notebook price not. In 2D all is good down to 1600h12 (speech about an analog output, certainly).
Sapphire RADEON X13 256MB AGP - considering not so greater distinctions in frequencies, it is possible to tell, that at this card results
Precisely same, as well as at previous. And consequently also conclusions similar. Except for the complete set of delivery: at Sapphire here all is excellent. Though
Low-End, though Middle... It is pleasant. A minus that cards already frequency on memory is underestimated well very strongly. What for to supply it then with memory 2.8ns,
It depends to put frequency in 5 MHz? A strange way of use of faster memory.
Quality of a card excellent, censures for work also was not. In 2D all is normal down to 1600h12 85Gc (speech about an analog output, certainly).
Sapphire RADEON X16 PRO 256MB AGP - toshiba notebook price a product more long-awaited, than the others from ATI as gives still remained on AGP
To users the accelerator of an average level in a price range of 1 dollars, it is high-grade supporting sheydery' 3.0, and also successfully competing
With GeForce 6600/66 GT (except for of some tests). And even GeForce 6800LE it is bypassed in some tests.
As to quality differences from the previous product are not present any. And PCB at payments are similar, as well as completing elements.
Leadtek WinFast A78 GS TDH (GeForce 78 GS) 256MB AGP - and here this product many looked forward. Though, by
To forums, expected much greater, nevertheless 78 about something speaks. That is a level 78 GT even. However, as already above I spoke, it only
Realization of waste from toshiba notebook price G70, therefore both number of conveyors, and frequencies are lowered. The level 68 Ultra on architecture, and on frequencies something has turned out
Average between 68 GT and 68 U. Though with memory have supplied very fast and consequently 12 MHz on it is not a limit, in fact 1.4ns it is capable to work
However, as have shown tests, a product not so transitive a variant between 68 GT and Ultra. It very often shows results better
68 Ultra! And consequently it is possible almost by right to name it the most powerful accelerator from NVIDIA with interface AGP for today! Yes, it not most
Powerful in the absolute as it is frequent X8 XT PE it appears more quickly (and is cheaper, by those prices, that we saw on the middle of March). But nevertheless availability
X8 XT AGP already it is now toshiba notebook price rather small. Them to not find almost. Therefore 78 GS it can become real the fastest and accessible card for today (for
Segment of the market with AGP-interfeysom). Certainly, the maximum price to such card of 3 dollars, not above, but now while the prices are overestimated.
On quality. Here than me always liked Leadtek so it is that it is not necessary to write anything in this plan at all! And so it is clear, that quality
And other classes you can see fuller comparative characteristics of videocards of it also in
Sapphire RADEON X16 PRO 256MB AGP - $1 (61)
