XFX GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB [Review, hardwarezone]
NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB not only doubles its frame buffer but increases its core and memory clock speeds, making it the most powerful graphics card on paper now. XFX has one of these steroids boosted cards and we put it to a battery of benchmarks to validate this claim. Tue, 17 Jan, 2006 | 8 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Nvidia's high end G71 to sample next week [News, theinquirer]
NVIDIA'S latest graphic offering should start sampling as soon as next week. It's all in the promises now but we have a reason to believe that Nvidia is on the schedule with this one. We also heard that the chip should work around 700 MHz frequency and as we reported before it should feature 32 pixel pipelines. Fri, 06 Jan, 2006 | 16 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

e-GeForce 7800GT PCI-E 256MB [Review, topreviewshop]
So far, I have gotten outstanding results with this video card. All of the games I have played (Quake 4, Doom 3, Call of Duty 2) have run exceptionally fast and smooth at their highest settings. The graphics for all of the games, as well as all of the other applications I use, all look great using this card. The only applications I’ve used are the standard Microsoft offerings (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Internet Explorer) as well as Firefox, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Macromedia Fireworks. Now, to the heart of the review – how fast is the e-GeForce 7800GT in games? Wed, 04 Jan, 2006 | 5 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

ATI Radeon X1800 XT and XL CrossFire Review [Review, pcper]
We originally reviewed the CrossFire technology with the X850 XT CrossFire card back in September, so if you need a refresher on the technology behind it all, be sure to give that article a perusal first. ATI promised us we would see the X1800 CrossFire cards by Christmas time -- and they succeeded, if only by the hairs on their chin. Less than a week before the holiday buying season is over, we bring to you the X1800 XT CrossFire card.
On its outward appearance, the X1800 XT CrossFire (abbreviated as either XF or CF from now on) looks no different than the original, standard X1800 XT video card we reviewed in October. It uses the same dual-slot GPU cooler and weighs about the same as well. Wed, 28 Dec, 2005 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Two's Company, Four's a WOW! Sneak Preview of NVIDIA Quad GPU SLI [Preview, TomsHardware]
Thanks to the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, combining two graphics cards in an SLI configuration is easily achieved. Just plug two identical GeForce 6 or GeForce 7 cards into the motherboard, and connect them with the SLI bridge connector. The two cards will then split the 3D rendering load between them, which can result in a performance improvement of up to 70 percent in everyday life. Now that PCI Express motherboards are available with PCIe x32 - or, more correctly, two x16 slots - there are also some new and intriguing possibilities.

Gigabyte 3D1-68GT [Review, hardwareasylum]
The 3D1-68GT is as good a dual-GPU card as we've ever seen, but that does not exempt it from its associated faults. The weight of the card is a strain on the motherboard, the heat it produces leaves the case only after warming your processor first, its length forced this author to remount his harddrives into the floppy-drive bay, and use sub-par SATA ports to boot. However, should you be able to live with these drawbacks, you will be rewarded with performance only a 7800 GTX 512 can hope to match, and rarity only equaled by the 3dFX Voodoo 5 6000.

Gigabyte GV-3D1-68GT Dual-GPU Videocard Review [Review, PCStats]
Dual GPU videocards are nothing new, but they are pretty rare. The only recent examples that spring to mind are the original XGI Volari graphics cards, and the dual-GPU GeForce 660GT based Gigabyte GV-3D1 videocard from earlier this year. You can find the test report on that twin GPU Gigabyte GV-3D1 videocard here, but the gist of PCSTATS' findings are that two cores certainly show the potential of what a single slot SLI videocard can offer. The Gigabyte GV-3D1-68GT videocard comes packing 512MB of GDDR3 memory, and with two GPUs the card is able to support up to four monitors simultaneously.

Gigabyte GV-RX18L256V-B X1800 XL Videocard Review [Review, PCStats]
Gigabyte's GV-RX18L256V-B Radeon X1800 XL videocard is a pretty nice single-slot PCI Express x16 videocard! The Radeon X1800 XL GPU is clocked at 500 MHz, and backed by 256MB of Samsung GDDR3 memory that hums away at 1 GHz. The videocard supports video In/Video Out and High Definition Television output. The software bundle consists of Xpand Rally, Counter Strike Condition Zero, Power Director and PowerDVD. Hidden under the Gigabyte GV-RX18L256V-B heatsink is an ATi Rage Theater chipset which gives the videocard its VIVO ability. Wed, 21 Dec, 2005 | 1 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
PNY Verto GeForce 6800GT 256MB [Review, topreviewshop]
Overall, I am completely satisfied with the PNY GeForce 6800GT. I have not found any significant drawbacks or anything to really complain about. It provides high-end graphics performance for every PC game that is on the market today, and should be able to handle future games that have more complex and detailed graphics. Add on the fact that it has a 3 year warranty, useful Desktop Manager software, and does not require an aftermarket cooler to be overclocked, and I think it is an excellent value.

ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 GPU Preview [Preview, legitreviews]
On the ASUS A7G Notebook running an Intel 760 (2.0GHz), 1GB DDR2 memory, and
the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 PCIe card we were able to hit an amazing 3797
3DMarks. To put this into perspective we can compare this to the ASUS Z71V
notebook that we built uses the same chipset (i915PM). It features an Intel 770
processor, 1GB DDR2 memory, and a Geforce Go 6600. It scored 1706 3DMarks when
run with the default drivers... Wed, 14 Dec, 2005 | 29 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
ATI's Radeon X1800 CrossFire Edition graphics card [Review, techreport]
If you're longing to see a $1200 Radeon graphics subsystem under the Christmas three this year, you will need a Radeon X1800 CrossFire Edition graphics card. This magical device will allow you to sync up with a regular Radeon X1800 XT or XL graphics card for nearly double the rendering power of a single card. This new CrossFire card also sweeps away some of the limitations of the first-generation CrossFire hardware introduced just a couple of months ago, allowing mega-high-res gaming, among other things.
Now, we know the Radeon X1800 XT isn't quite as bone-jarringly fast as NVIDIA's new GeForce 7800 GTX 512, but it's still a fire-breathing monster. Running two X1800 XTs together in CrossFire is a good way to strain your neck, singe your hair, or at least develop a very serious addiction to F.E.A.R.—but we're willing to take that chance for you, our loyal readers. Keep reading to see how ATI puts on a Christmas light show, Radeon style. Wed, 14 Dec, 2005 | 3 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Gigabyte Geforce 6600 GT Silent-Pipe II GV-NX66T256DE [Review, InsaneTek]

Leadtek 7800 GTX MyVIVO Extreme Review [Review, Bjorn3d]
Leadtek consistently releases unique cooling solutions for its NVIDIA-based
video cards. Leadtek also jumped on the factory overclock bandwagon and offers
several overclocked versions of its cards. Today's review focuses on the
Leadtek WinFast PX7800 GTX TDH MyVIVO Extreme, which happens to feature both a
custom cooling solution and a factory overclock.
If you have seen the massive, heatpipe-based cooler on the 7800 GTX 512 cards,
then the cooling solution on the WinFast PX7800 GTX TDH MyVIVO Extreme is
nothing new to you. Leadtek's WinFast PX7800 GTX Extreme was actually the first
non-Quadro card to use this cooler, as this card was out weeks before the GTX
512s hit the shelves. The cooler was first seen on NVIDIA's Quadro FX. Wed, 14 Dec, 2005 | 5 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
XFX GeForce 6800 GS 256MB XXX Edition (PCIe) [Review, hardwarezone]
XFX's appeal to the enthusiast segment mainly lies with its overclocked graphics cards that have the high tolerance needed to survive the rigors of the hardware tinkler. For the less adventurous, the turbocharged XFX GeForce 6800 GS 256MB XXX Edition makes it worth taking a closer look. Sun, 11 Dec, 2005 | 13 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS Review [Review, Beyond3d]
NVIDIA have been busy giving their product line a little pre-holiday spruce up, in order to give some attractive options to potential customers for Christmas. Presently all of these new products are based on chips that already existed in their product line earlier in 2005, or even 2004 in some cases, and their releases may also give some indications that their 90nm refreshes, which don’t appear to be ready yet, may be coming in early 2006.
In this article we are going to take a look at the new mainstream board, released just a week prior to the 7800 GTX 512MB, being the GeForce 6800 GS. Wed, 07 Dec, 2005 | 24 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Albatron 6600GT (single and SLI) Review [Review, Bjorn3D]
As a reviewer it is easy to always use the high-end stuff you get to review and
forget about the mid-end and even low-end cards. Today though, I will test the
Albatron 6600GT, a mid-level performance card that promises a nice
performance/price ratio. I’m also testing it in SLI-configuration to see if it
is worth getting a second GeForce6600GT instead of buying a completely new
card. Mon, 05 Dec, 2005 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
