GeForce 7900GS AGP 3.3V compatible?

I found out that the highest graphic card available for 3.3V AGP connector is Galaxy GeForce 7900GS AGP:

Of course it's expensive and there's no way to use its potential on Socket 7 system, but would it work on my Epox MVP3G5 anyway? It would be nice to have it on my system working, but I'm quite sure that it was Galaxy's mistake to use 3.3V compatible connector, as there are no other 7900GS with this connector.
The question is if nVidia allowed its cards with PCI-E-AGP bridge to use 3.3V voltage? Maybe as a precaution to avoid damages? The card still uses external power so maybe it's not so AGP-voltage depended. I'm confused.
