NVIDIA Brings SLI Graphics To Notebook PCs [Article, legitreviews]
As you can see in the image above the NVIDIA SLI notebook solution are placed
next to eachother. The chipset is of course the nForce 4 SLI. Since the cards
must sit next to eachother this makes the notebook motherboard extremely wide.
To be honest we have only seen the GeForce Go 7800 GTX in 19" and larger
notebooks. Below is a closer shot of the two cards in SLI.... Thu, 09 Mar, 2006 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX, 7900 GT and 7600 GT Preview [Preview, Hexus]
Using TSMC as a partner once again, the '90GT' process offered
by Taiwan's premier semiconductor fabricator gives NVIDIA new avenues
to explore when walking the world of die space utilisation and
physical chip characteristics, just as it has given ATI in recent
months. Thu, 09 Mar, 2006 | 16 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
XFX 7900 GTX XXX Edition Video Card Review [Review, legitreviews]
There is no doubt that the 7900GTX is one fast card, easily the fastest card
available from Nvidia. The introduction of the 7900GTX has put Nvidia back in
contention for fastest video card available, but according to our testing, can’
t quite make the claim of the fastest. Even with the core speed of our XFX card
clocked to 700 MHz the 7900GTX just doesn’t have enough to pull it off, but is
very close... Thu, 09 Mar, 2006 | 13 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
XFX GeForce 7900 GTX XXX, 7900 GT XXX and 7600 GT XXX [Review, Bjorn3D]
Today is the day that NVIDIA finally fills in the gaps of the GeForce 7 Series.
Well, there really was only one major gap - the midrange segment. In addition
to filling that gap, NVIDIA is also attempting to maintain or regain (depending
on how you look at it) graphics supremacy by upping the ante in the enthusiast
and performance segments. The cards I'm referring to are the GeForce 7600 GT
(midrange), 7900 GT (performance) and 7900 GTX (enthusiast). As is typical the
last several quarters, this is another hard launch, and you should be able to
find these cards available from NVIDIA's system builder, add-in card, and e-
tail partners today.
Although everyone would love to have the flagship cards, very few can actually
afford them, which is why this launch is probably most exciting to the average
Joe who is looking for a high bang for the buck level. The 7600 GT is designed
to compete with the Radeon X1600 XT, and according to NVIDIA, the 7600 GT is
one of their best products ever. Thu, 09 Mar, 2006 | 20 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
A Simple Comparison : X1900 XT Crossfire vs. 7800 GTX 512 SLI [Article, GamePC]
While there have been many comparisons pitting ATI and nVidia's latest graphics technologies against each other, we wanted to take a simple, focused look at each company's multi-GPU rendering technologies. Assuming money is no object, which set of graphics cards should you buy for the best overall user experience, in regards to performance, features, noise, and stability - Crossfire or SLI? Let's find out. Thu, 02 Mar, 2006 | 19 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Sapphire X1900 Crossfire Edition Video Card [Review, hardwarelogic]
Its been the better part of a year now since the mainstream
acceptance of SLI, and during that time NVidia has enjoyed a fairly
decisive edge in graphics card performance and popularity among the
masses. First there were the delays with the R520 Core, which was
compounded by ATI releasing their Crossfire dual GPU solution with their
"old" X8XX Series cards. When Crossfire was released, I was one of
several reviewers who were kind of ho-hum on it, the X8XX Series card
were the best ATI could muster, and they were only as good as NVidia's
last generation 6800 Series cards. At the time, I withheld judgment for
one reason..... ATI's X1XXX Series cards received a fairly warm welcome
as a major improvement over the X8XX Series. Now, with the release of
ATI's X1900 video card ATI has a pretty formidable high end graphic
solution of their own. Thu, 02 Mar, 2006 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Sweet Revenge : ATI’s Radeon X1900 XT and XTX 512 MB [Review, GamePC]
The launch of the GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB card made things look bleak for ATI from the outside, as their "brand-new" high-end product which had already suffered major delays, had already been bested by their chief competitor without even really trying. ATI, of course, knew something which we didn't, and that was that their follow-up to the R520 graphics processor was quickly approaching. While the X1800 XT's R520 architecture was heavily delayed, ATI’s next generation chip was right on schedule, and would launch at its intended time, even though the X1800 XT was already dreadfully late to market.
Thus, this week we're seeing the launch of the Radeon X1900 series of cards, based on ATI's new R580 graphics architecture. While the R580 is similar in design to that of the oft-delayed R520, the R580 is a more refined, feature packed variant. Unlike many of ATI's previous product launches, X1900 XT cards are available today, and we've already grabbed a pair of their new X1900 XT and XTX 512 MB cards for testing. Let's get to it.

Albatron 6600-512 [Review, overclockersonline]
The 6600-512 by Albatron was meant to outperform the cards like the
GeForce 6800 and even rival the 6600GT. While it may come up a bit short if
those cards are overclocked, Albatron has provided an alternative solution
that will certainly cost less while maintaining an average level of
performance. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Asus EN7800GT 2DHTV/256M/OSP/A Videocard Review [Review, PCStats]
The nVIDIA GeForce 7800GT vs. ATi Radeon X1800 XL standoff looks like it is shaping up to be a pretty titanic battle, but which card will triumph is up to consumers. One example of what the GeForce 7800GT is capable of is Asus' EN7800GT 2DHTV/256M/OSP/A PCI Express x16 videocard. Built with the massive 320 million transistor GeForce 7800GT 'G70' core, the Asus EN7800GT packs in 256MB of GDDR3 memory. The card supports nVidia's Scalable Link Interface (SLI) for dual videocard gaming like all current generation nVIDIA parts. The bright blue videocard incorporates twin DVI connectors so users can attach digital LCD displays. Component output (HDTV, Y, Pb, Pr) and S-Video output comes standard via a breakout-box. The software package includes a couple of games and some multimedia applications. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 8 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GT CO Review [Review, HardwareHell]
Thanks to its generous factory overclock, you can expect the EVGA e-GeForce
7800 GT CO to outperform a reference clocked 7800 GTX at the most common
playing resolutions and settings for many current games. If you crank the
resolution beyond 1280 and turn AA and AF way up, then this GT won't best the
GTX, but it will put up some really good numbers nonetheless. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

HIS X800GTO IceQ II Turbo PCIe Review [Review, HardwareHell]
I used ATITool, my ATI tweaking utility of choice. I had read that this card
offers a ton of headroom, and now I have confirmed it. I was able to reach
overclock speeds of 595MHz on the core and 610MHz (1.22GHz) on memory. In case
you haven't figured it out yet, that's almost a 50% overclock on the core and
25% on the memory! Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 2 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Leadtek WinFast PX7300 GS TDH 256MB DDR2 [Review, hardwarezone]
With the new GeForce 7300 GS graphics card, the budget conscious can also enjoy the benefits of the GeForce 7 series. However, would its relatively weak GPU be sufficient to handle today's games?

PowerColor X1800 XT [Review, Bjorn3D]
What we have in our lab this week is a PowerColor X1800 XT video card. Starting
from R300, Tul (the owner of PowerColor brand) has been ATi's very active
partner. They make top to bottom cards at a competitive price. It's been around
two-three weeks since first X1800 boards appeared on the market. Due to the
lack of components, Tul got in a bit late into the game with their X1K series
(especially XL which we haven't received at the time of the launch). If you
look around however, you'll find quite a few PowerColor X1800 cards -- either
XT (256/512 version) or XL. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
XFX GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB DDR3 XXX Edition [Review, Hexus]
As impressed as I was with the reference board in the preview
on HEXUS.core, I'm the same again with XFX's attempt. While the
bundle could do with some work, the performance is spot on. While the
clock increases are modest, they almost always turn in to real-world
performance increases when the hardware is made to work and the CPU
isn't the bottleneck. Effectively, the performance is free. Mon, 27 Feb, 2006 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Review: Sapphire Radeon X1900XTX [Review, boxgods]
I am sure those of you who have recently purchased cards in the X1800 family are quite thrilled that ATI has managed to launch a refreshed product line just three scant months later--that is those of you who managed to track down one of the elusive X1800 cards. ATI was delayed in their launch of the X1800 line, based on the R520 core, due to production issues. Because of that setback, they had to choose between delaying the X1900 series, or getting back on schedule. With the negative press they were getting about the scarcity of products on shelves, the term “paper launch” was fresh in everyone's minds this go 'round. The added determination to hard launch the X1900 line payed off as we actually saw X1900XT's and X1900XTS's on store shelves as early as two days before the actual launch.

NVIDIA's Quad SLI: Demystifying the rumors [Article, firingsquad]
Up to now NVIDIA’s SLI technology has been limited to just two GPUs. Two GPUs running in SLI has been just fine and all for gaming at say 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 16xAF, but as any gamer with a high-end 21”+ CRT will tell you, 2048x1536 has been the holy grail of gaming for quite some time now. In addition, thanks to rapidly falling LCD prices, an increasing number of gamers are running 24” LCDs like Dell’s highly popular 2405FPW at resolutions as high as 1920x1200, and a new crop of 30” LCDs are flooding the marketplace driving resolution demands even higher. The Dell 3007WFP and Apple Cinema display both run at a native res of 2560x1600. In fact, Dell proudly proclaims that the 3007WFP boasts "over three times the resolution of so-called 'high-def gaming' that comes with an Xbox 360."

ASUS EAX1800XT TOP [Review, Hexus]
The EAX1800XT TOP is a
fast, quiet graphics card with a great bundle, but ASUS are pricing
it out of its own market with it costing £100 more than XTs from
other AIBs. The bundle and performance aren't worth it at the time of
writing, versus the cost of a bare board with reference clocks from
another AIB, with the user having a stab at overclocking themselves
if they wish. Thu, 16 Feb, 2006 | 2 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
