Why It Mattered

GeForce 7800 GS AGP belongs to the Curie and GeForce 7 Series era around 2006, when PC graphics cards varied heavily by bus, memory chips, BIOS, cooler, and display outputs. Tracking the exact model helps retro builders distinguish period-correct boards from similarly named variants.
