The AGP version was introduced on July 21, 2006. According to Nvidia, this card is identical to the PCI-e version other than the interface. In addition, the AGP version uses Nvidia’s AGP-PCIe bridge chip.

Performance Specs:

• Core Clock Speed: 400 MHz core frequency
• Memory Clock Speed: 400 MHz (800 MHz effective)
• Memory Interface: 128-bits
• Memory Bandwidth: 12.8 GB/s
• Fill Rate: 3.2 billion pixel/s and 4.8 billion texel/s
• Vertex/s: 500 million
• SLI support (Only for the PCIe version)
• Cooling Solution: Passively cooled (Nvidia reference)
• Memory Type: GDDR3 or DDR2
• Fabrication process: 90-nm

Preliminary testing showed that the GeForce 7600 GS outperforms a GeForce 6600 GT and ATI’s counterpart, the ATI Radeon X1600 Pro.
