nVidia - what is the difference between GS and GT

[PC Hobbyist]

What is the difference between the GeForce 7800GS and the 7800GT?

Is one noticeably better than the other?

Of course. Following the Nvidia naming scheme. In general you can expect 30-40% (this is a guess) performance difference between the two, give or take some depending on specific model.

Slower core, slower memory stock and 4 less pipelines

And btw, just incase they didnt give u you the answer you were looking for, the GT is the better one

I noticed that, er, really!

In the particular case of the 7800, the GT is PCI-E only while the GS is AGP only. As everyone's said, the 7800GT is the better performing card.

Hi,

You'll definitely notice the difference! I have tested my 6800GT vs a 6800GS and mine owned easily.

Noticed this alot now, people seem to babble on and dont answer the question the thread starter asked.
Anyway gt will always be better and nivida will keep it that way.

Was my post better?

GS = AGP version. GT = pci-express version. In almost all cases the GT is better than the GS, however, I believe the Albatron version of the 7800GS uses the same core as the 7800GT, thus resulting in all 20 pipelines.

The GS isn't just for AGP, the 7900GS is for PCI-E, as well as the earlier and newer models.

Unless you were talking about just the 7800GS..

he was talking about the 7800

Wow, thanks for all those responses. It's a bummer that I can't go with the 7800GT since I only have AGP. I ordered the 7800GS from newegg (119 bucks after MIR!!!) and I'll give it a try. I also got a new power supply unit because the one I have would not have been enough. I hope the PSU is not too tricky to install. I'm just now starting to get into games and this should be a good improvement for starters. I guess not having pci-e really limits me. Thanks again to everyone!

Ok i'll look into supper mod

Yeah I was specifically talking about the 7800's.
