|
|
"If you're a gamer on a budget who craves the best performance in DX9 and DX10 games, the GeForce 9600 GT is the best card on the market right now."
|
|
"This card is a valid replacement for the GeForce 8800 GT 256 MB, and is the best low-cost solution for gamers who play with antialiasing enabled."
|
|
"The GeForce 9600 GT is a great GPU."
|
|
"Thankfully, those who spend less than $200 on their new graphics hardware will finally have a reason to upgrade."
|
|
"...is in contention for the best price/performance and performance/watt we have seen in quite some time."
|
|
"For its price, this is quite a fast card and a very good buy."
|
|
"After using these three GeForce 9600 GT video cards it's clear that 512MB is the sweet spot as it is ideal for higher resolutions that require larger frame buffers. All of the cards did great...."
|
|
"Asus' EN9600GT is an under-$200 graphics card-based on NVidia's GeForce 9600 GT graphics engine-that offers good 3D performance even on the most demanding games."
|
|
"Simply put, the 9600 GT is one hell of a card."
|
|
"The GeForce 9600 GT series is a truly grand graphics card in the mid-range segment and we can recommend it a lot."
|
|
"The EVGA e-GeForce 9600 GT SSC performed flawlessly during the course of this review and is recommended by nV News."
|
|
"That is an amazing value in our minds and if you're a serious gamer needing a video card that will really immerse you in the game, you'd need to look no further than this."
|
|
"This card carries a bargain price that most gamers can afford and provides performance that is better than many video cards costing more money."
|
|
"It should be pretty obvious by this point that I really like the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. It's hard to find any fault in a graphics card that cuts $150 off the price of another GPU that it performs as well as."
|
|
"Right now though, the GeForce 8800 GT offers you the best value on the planet when it comes to 3D gaming cards. You won't be disappointed in its performance, and you won't be disappointed in the cost."
|
|
"The performance advantage and price utterly destroyed our perception of the GPU landscape."
|
|
"In the end, Nvidia has taken its time, but offers an exceptional card with the GeForce 8800GT."
|
|
"NVIDIA's second foray into 65nm GPU technology is a resounding success in our humble opinion. And how could anyone argue a Graphics product that consumes less power, costs less and performs better than the previous generation?"
|
|
"A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The price/performance ratio simply can't be beat."
|
|
"With pricing between $199 and $249, I find it hard to recommend anything else—especially since we found generally playable settings at 2560x1600 resolution in some of the most intensive new games (except for Crysis, which is in a class by itself.)"
|
|
"Performance has suddenly become affordable; and the next-gen, finally, will start to become the now-gen, for many, many more gamers out there."
|
|
"NVIDIA now dominates the VGA playing field."
|
|
"The GeForce 8800 GT is the GPU to buy for this holiday season, and the XFX GeForce 8800 GT is an excellent card based on Nvidia's new blockbuster chip. It's affordable, supports both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10, and has more than enough performance power to handle graphics-heavy games such as BioShock, World in Conflict, Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, and Hellgate: London."
|
|
"Pros: Amazing performance for the cost; single slot cooler; VP2 video processor. Cons: We're having a real hard time coming up with something here..."
|
|
"NVIDIA just released their entire DX10 mainstream lineup and it delivers."
|
|
"...those who are still searching for hardware to buy in the $150 - $200 range will certainly not be disappointed with 8600 based graphics
|
|
"... with its solid feature set, including an improved video engine (dedicated article coming shortly), DX10 functionality, and good performance in today's DX9 games, there's a lot to like in NVIDIA's latest mainstream GPU."
|
|
"Its a solid performer at the same price point that was once held by the great 7600 GT and 6600 GT before it."
|
|
"This graphics card is very fast and would make for an excellent Vista based media center computer on a low end CPU."
|
|
"Gamers shopping for a cheap graphics card will be hard pressed to find a better card to spend their $169 on."
|
|
"There is little doubt that if what you are after is the fastest 8600 GTS around you need to be shopping XFX."
|
|
"Overall the EVGA 8600 GT Superclocked Graphics Card is a good DirectX 10 compliant graphics card for those on a strict budget."
|
|
"Overall, for a budget gaming card for future DirectX 10 titles and current DirectX 9 titles the XFX 8600 GT XXX is a budget contender."
|
|
"For home theater enthusiasts though, the GeForce 8600 GTS is arguably the video card to own. It's got the most advanced video engine current available and at a price that won't break the bank."
|
|
"On the whole, we're pretty impressed by the performance of these GeForce 8600 cards.
|
|
"The 8600 GT especially, with stock prices at $149, make a solid choice for midrange DX10 "bang for your buck", and we'll be taking a look at that in more detail shortly. Improved graphics quality, full CSAA support, superior AF quality, DX10, and fully accelerated PureVideo HD make this a logical choice for mainstream gamers who want pave the way to DX10 gaming...."
|
|
"The XFX 8600 GT XXX Edition offers excellent performance for its 169.99 price tag. Never before has so much performance been achieved for such a low price point."
|
|
"I give this card an Editor's Choice Award; it excels for its price..."
|
|
"...the XFX 8600GT XXX edition is the current best buy"
|
|
"This is the kind of progress we like seeing from one generation to the next in the GPU arena, and Nvidia has delivered once again. "
|
|
"Well, color me happy because this is about as close a race as you can get. Purevideo does surpass Avivo in the final score..."
|
|
“The image produced by the DualTV MCE is smooth without noticeable jagged edges and the colors appear rich. There’s also no noticeable noise either which is due to the noise reduction algorithms."
"NVIDIA has done a great job with the DualTV MCE. It offers excellent image quality matching [a competing product] which isn’t too surprising considering the DualTV MCE is ISF certified. Its dual tuners makes it a better choice for a Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 system than [competing] cards, allowing users to record one source while watching another. Aside from Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, the DualTV is also compatible with other PVR software packages such as Beyond TV 4 and Yahoo! Go for TV."
"Value-wise the DualTV MCE is quite a bargain. The DualTV can be had for $169 without a remote, which is fair considering it comes with a Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 compatible MPEG2 decoder."
"Overall we really liked the NVIDIA DualTV with its excellent image quality and dual tuners. If you want two TV tuners but lack PCI slots, the NVIDIA DualTV is the way to go.”
|
|
"Nvidia have pulled off a remarkable achievement with the 7950 GX2, the first impressive aspect of the product is the actual size of the card."
|
|
"The GeForce 7950 GX2 also features the industry’s fastest anti-aliasing for ultra-realistic visuals, with no jagged edges, and all at lightning-fast speeds. Astounding speed. Maximum performance. Innovative technology. Those are the features professional gamers demand. And that’s what XFX has to offer..."
|
|
"It delivers rock solid stability, and reliability."
|
|
"The 7950 GX2 is a really good idea, well executed. ...The perfect solution for those that would love to run a dual-graphics system, but for whatever reason can only use a single double-wide card."
|
|
"Ultimately, what we have here is the world’s fastest single graphics card. There is no debate, no argument, and no other choice if what you want is framerate."
|
|
"At the end of the day, it breaks down to this – if you desire the fastest single card going then NVIDIA's 7950GX2 is the one you want to get."
|
|
"The Bang for the buck tradeoff on the ASUS EN7900GT is excellent."
|
|
"[The DualTV tuner manual] is probably the best manual I've ever seen for a TV tuner, heck it is one of the best I've seen for any hardware…."
"It generally lives up to the hype: good noise reduction and comb filtering plus ISF certification all in a dual-tuner. Because of these factors the DualTV is now the analog tuner in my MCE 2005 HTPC."
"High-end design allows fast motion (sports-like material) without a skip and news tickers are some of the best in a hardware encoding TV card."
"Great quality -- ISF Certified."
"Awesome bundle, includes just about all the cables a person could need."
"Includes a license for the excellent NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder."

Rating: 9 out of 10
"Pausing, rewinding and fast forwarding was seamless and had a virtually instant response time."
"Overall, we found the DualTV MCE's image quality to be very good for an analog tuner card. We also ran the picture simultaneously next to a standard 32-Inch TV and found the image quality comparable to the set-top cable box's output."
"We also spent a little time with general FM reception as well and came away rather impressed. …in our experience the signal was crisp with no noticeable fluctuations. … Even when turning up the volume to higher levels, there was no obvious hiss which is typically heard in FM reception."
"the DualTV MCE…is well-rounded, cost effective and very easy to install."
"[Compared with] the only other dual-tuner consumer level solution, NVIDIA comes out on top in our opinion, as [the other dual-tuner product] doesn't even offer a basic DVD decoder with their card."
"Overall, we walked away rather impressed with the DualTV MCE from NVIDIA. The card installed easily, image quality was very good and the bundled retail package was comprehensive. ... the DualTV MCE is a solid dual-tuner solution for any Windows XP Media Center based PC. … We give NVIDIA's DualTV MCE Remote Edition at HotHardware Heat Meter rating of a 9."

Player's Choice Award
Rating: 9.5 out of 10
"I was blown away by the amount of accessories that are included with the card"
"The NVIDIA DualTV tuner card was a snap to install and I was literally watching TV on my desktop within 15 minutes."
"I found the images on my monitor crisp and clean and the lettering didn't bleed into the background. … the picture quality is very good and there is no bleeding of images."
"Recording and playback quality was also crisp and clean. … The motion was fluid and natural and no noise or interference patterns appeared on the screen…."
"For me the NVIDIA Dual TV MCE tuner card is one of the best tuner cards on the market. [Other cards on the market] up to now have been the market leaders but NVIDIA is making a strong push into this vertical with the introduction of the Dual TV MCE Tuner card. [One competing product] doesn't come with a DVD decoder, and [another competing product] can be a nightmare to install. …overall I believe that the NVIDIA Dual TV MCE tuner card is the best card in its field for several key reasons.
• A dream to install- was up and running in no time
• Ease of use-basically install and forget
• Extremely functional remote control.
• Performance - Very good picture quality and excellent playback of recorded programs
• Standard Accessories- They put everything but the kitchen sink in the box.
I give this card our "Players Choice Award" for exceptional quality and workmanship that has gone into every small detail."

"Winner, Winner, Winner!! Nvidia 7950 GX2 offers the highest performance level in the single graphics card category. The performance at 1600x1200 with all the eye-candies turned on is just amazing, hardly lower than 80 FPS across the board..."
|
|
"According to the results obtained in our high-resolution benchmarks, the NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 1GB becomes the fastest single graphics card around."
|
|
"NVIDIA's GeForce 7950 GX2 appears to have launched with a bang, it is quick, quiet and it is the fastest 'single-card' available..."
|
|
"The 7950 GX2 is the fastest card available for a single slot motherboard, full stop."
|
|
"As you can see, the new GeForce 7950 GX2 is a pretty impressive card when it comes to benchmark numbers. As far as NVIDIA's own numbers go, it totally blows the ATI Radeon X1900 XTX out of water."
|
|
"The GeForce 7950 GX2 design is clever and Quad GPU SLI is fantastic!"
|
|
"As far as sheer performance goes, all I can say is WOW! At this moment in time, the XFX 7950GX2 XXX Edition is unchallenged as the fastest single out of the box 3D card in existence and will challenge most SLI systems as well."
|
|
"...if you're looking for the absolute fastest performing single video card on the market, this is it, bar none."
|
|
"...there is a new sheriff in town: the GeForce 7950GX2."
|
|
"From all of the tests I have ran it is easy to say that the 7950 is clearly the fastest single video card on the market."
|
|
"The XFX GeForce 7950 GX2 is the fastest single-card graphics we've had the pleasure to test here at GameSpot."
|
|
"Based on what I've experienced over the past three days, the GeForce 7950 GX2 is yet another top quality product from NVIDIA."
|
|
"Still, the GX2 is remarkably tame overall. This card takes up no more space, draws no more power, and generates no more heat or noise than NEAREST COMPETITOR but its performance is in another class altogether."
|
|
"To further entice gamers NVIDIA's pricing the GeForce 7950 GX2 very aggressively…. Considering these factors, you could actually argue that the board is somewhat a bargain."
|
|
"NVIDIA's 7950 GX2 graphics card is simply a one-of-a-kind in the enthusiast gaming market, at least for the time being. It takes on the best video cards from (nearest competitor) and even NVIDIA, and has a field day with them."
|
|
"We were very impressed by the GeForce 7950 GX2, like many of the products NVIDIA has released as of late. NVIDIA an edge over the competition in the HQV benchmark and in our CPU utilization test."
|
|
"The 7950GX2 gives you nearly the same performance for hundreds less and gives you an upgrade path which neither of those two can ever offer."
|
|
"Can we recommend this product to our readers? The answer is a resounding "Hell Yes"! We'd go so far as to say it will probably be a contender for product of the year, especially given the fact that it can run on many non SLI boards."
|
|
“The card comes bundled with all the necessary connectors for a wide variety of home theater and audio setups…”
“NVIDIA's PureVideo is incorporated into the package, which ensures good quality digital video decoding.”
“…the NVIDIA DualTV MCE is a cut above most tuners…. The card is easy to install and sets up in a few minutes with Windows MCE.”
"Separate TV tuner cards will ultimately be more versatile than [competing products with both GPU and tuner on the same card] when building a multimedia system, because they can be used in both gaming and non-gaming systems. This fact along with the dual recording capabilities of the NVIDIA DualTV MCE make it one of the best choices for those interested in buying a high quality TV tuner solution"
|
|
“.... installing the DualTV was very simple. ... I installed the included drivers and software and was up and running in only a few minutes”
“The NVIDIA DualTV MCE includes a compatible, useful remote control; a handful of video cables; and an FM antenna cable.”
“Installation was a snap”
|
|
“NVIDIA has put everything in the box that will make it easier for you to watch and record TV via a Media Center Edition PC. ..... included almost every cable that you can imagine to make it…widely compatible...”
“For those of you who want a fairly easy solution to record TV on your PC, without having to buy a TiVo or DVD recorder..., the NVIDIA DualTV MCE with host Media Center PC is a viable and compelling alternative.”
“Not only is it easy to set up and use, it works as advertised and provides for excellent quality video. Highly recommended.”
|
|
“I am quite impressed with the overall quality of the build of the card and everything that is included…. Awesome.”
“I love the picture quality on these cards, I can really see the difference....”
“Working excellent in V5!! The Picture on this card is BEAUTIFUL!!”
“Installation was smooth and easy on Windows XP Pro-SP2 .... the NVIDIA picture [versus a competing product] was significantly better. ... brighter colors and less snowy. Fast action didn't leave any artifacts whatsoever .... [a competing product] gave me a good picture but the NVIDIA (DualTV) is a step above. .... got my $169.00 worth ...”
|
|
“This card has more adjustable options than [a competing product]. …I've got the picture tweaked to where I'm happy with it. There is less noise than before and the color is better. .... The biggest improvement I've noticed so far is that the quality of scrolling news bars (ESPN, CNN, FOXNews) is much better.
I'm getting better PQ [picture quality] on a couple of channels that weren't coming in quite right with [a competing product]...Fox being one of them."
|
|
“The FM tuner on this card is the best I have ever experienced.... The installation and set up of this card on MCE is a no brainer, comes with the PureVideo Decoder that NVIDIA sells for at least 20 bucks...”
"lots of goodness in this card”
“This is my new favorite tuner”
"Settings...once you get that magic mix of options, its a gorgeous image"
"“The manual ...is the best guide to fine tuning Media Center Edition ever made“
|
|
"Because of its great combination of price, performance, overclockability and power consumption, the NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT is no doubt one of our current favourite cards. In fact, we love it so much we think it deserves our Editor's Choice Award! Congratulations, NVIDIA!"
|
|
"The moral: unless you're a hard-core gamer who needs absolute top-shelf equipment to play new, demanding games such as Oblivion or F.E.A.R. at their highest settings, the Toshiba Satellite P105 delivers very strong multimedia and gaming performance..."
|
|
"The real thrill of an XPS notebook is its performance, and the M1710 doesn't disappoint. It's the first gaming notebook to arrive in PC Magazine Labs that's built with nVidia's GeForce Go 7900 GTX, by far the most powerful mobile graphics chipset available."
|
|
"But, the XPS M1710 is not just another cool notebook. It can also be a super performer with an up to 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX or GS graphics processor and up to 4 GB of up to 667 MHz memory."
|

"But, the XPS M1710 is not just another cool notebook. It can also be a super performer with an up to 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo processor, Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX or GS graphics processor and up to 4 GB of up to 667 MHz memory."
|
|
"Nvidia's new GeForce Go7900GTX is the most powerful graphics card. It replaced the Go7800GTX. Gaming is phenomenal; there's not a notebook on the market that is as fast as this one at the moment."
|
|
"In short, if you want a new graphics card to play the latest games with, then this is the chipset to buy."
|
|
"The GeForce 7600 GT is a first class product. Not only has the frame rate performance dazzled me, but so too has the stunning visual quality and highly stable performance. Won Legion Hardware Supreme Value Award."
|
|
"...When purchasing a card, it will all come down to pricing and packaging. I would say the ASUS EN7600GT is a strategic product with good pricing."
|
|
"In both single-card and multi-card scenarios, the 7900 GTX provided us with our highest benchmarks seen to date...these cards can certainly live up to the claim of being one of the fastest non-overclocked cards on the market."
|
|
"We were very pleased with the EN7800GT TOP Silent's performance. The card should outperform all reference 7800 GTs and it can do so silently. The factory overclock definitely helps put it above your average 7800 GT and X1800 XL. Overclocked 7800 GTs and X1800 XLs would be able to hang with the EN7800GT TOP Silent in the performance department, however, but they most likely won't be passively coooled."
|
|
"The 7800 GS is currently the fastest AGP graphics card available, making the choice easy if you don’t want to upgrade to a PCI Express motherboard just yet. No games are included but www.scorptec.com.au is offering PCAuthority readers the card for $499 if they quote the code PCAU-XFX. If you want to upgrade your system one last time before moving on, the 7800 GS is a great way to do it."

|
|
"I feel that this is an ideal product for the gamer on a mid-level budget, or a DIY-enthusiast that wants a video card with some kick to it that won't turn his/her HTPC box into a nuclear reactor."
|
|
"…From the benchmarks, the GeForce 7900 GT deserves its claim as the second most powerful GPU in the NVIDIA hierarchy."
|
|
"…When we saw the initial performance numbers on the 7900GT we knew we would have to get our hands on one and the guys at SilverPCS had them in stock =). Overall, I think the XFX 7900GT is a great budget buy. It performs very well and doesn't have a divorce inducing price tag."
|
|
"Leadtek's card seems to be based off Nvidia's reference design like all the 7900 cards on the market today and as it is an "Extreme" cards comes pre-overclocked at a 525MHz core and a 715MHz memory clockspeed. In comparison, a standard 7900 GT comes clocked in at 450MHz for the core and 615MHz for the memory, so this is a nice bump of 75MHz for the core and 100MHz for the memory."
|
|
"Nvidia's 7900 GT is an excellent choice for the performance seekers, offering a new level of performance, which is faster than the Nvidia's previous flagship card 7800GTX. The 7900GT offers an excellent performance/price ratio, with 80~90% of 7900GTX's performance at 3/5 the price."
|
|
"The 7900 GT is the new 6800 GT. It’s amazing value and isn't far off the speed of nVidia's flagship 7900 GTX, for a fraction of the price. From what we've seen, it looks to overclock really well too! It's also a single slot solution and draws a lot less power than competing products, making it perfect for SFF machines."
|
|
"From the benchmarks, the GeForce 7900 GT deserves its claim as the second most powerful GPU in the NVIDIA hierarchy. This may upset some owners of the GeForce 7800 GTX as this new GPU holds the edge for both performance and price over the former leader. But then that's progress - lower prices along with improved performance is just what everyone has been hoping to see with new products."
|
|
"Compared to our initial experience with the GeForce 7800 GTX, the GeForce 7900 GTX actually felt faster right out of the box. When we started comparing it against the other cards, the difference was even more apparent."
"Because of its tremendous processing power, we are proud to award it our Reviewer's Choice Award!"
|
|
"With the amazing overclockable components and the shear power, this will arguably be the best purchase for the time being. The EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GS CO SuperClock performed above and beyond our expectations."
|
|
"The XFX 7600GS is a good example of what kind of performance you can expect from a mid-level mainstream video card today. And, it's got decent performance as well. The card is on Newegg today for a price of $143, putting it squarely against a X1600XT in price category. XFX has overclocked their card to a very nice 500MHz; just 50MHz slower than the 7600GT and 100MHz faster than NVIDIA's reference clock. SLI performace is very solid and shows NVIDIA improving the SLI support and drivers."
|
|
"I'd be stating the painfully obvious if I said that the BFG GeForce 7900 GTX was a screamer, but I'll do it anyway -- the BFG GeForce 7900 GTX is a screamer."
|
|
"As an enthusiast and over clocker I have to say that if you were planning to upgrade or building a new system I highly recommend looking long and hard at the 7900 GT. If you were thinking of spending within $75 of its asking price I would still look at the performance of this card and beg, steal, or borrow enough to purchase one."
|
|
"If you have the ends, and want a huge upgrade from even the 6800-series of GeForce cards, than the 7900GT is definitely your ticket to ride. If you feel adventurous, then you should use the Coolbits tool to overclock the card and really step up performance. There’s really no reason to look anywhere else for a graphics card – if I were going to buy any card today, the 7900GT would be my top pick."
|
|
"Finally, the best of all is its attractive price. The MSI NX7600GS-T2D256EH costs just US$129, almost 70 dollars less than the GeForce 7600 GT. It may even become a strong alternative to the GeForce 7300 GS, should consumers be willing to spend a bit more."
|
|
"If you're in the market for a midrange graphics upgrade, we’d highly suggest you check out the GeForce 7600 GS. After testing this product and the GeForce 7600 GT earlier this month, it certainly looks like NVIDIA's got a pretty strong successor to the GeForce 6600 line. We wouldn’t be surprised to see these 7600 cards sell like hotcakes, just like the GeForce 6600s did…"
|
|
"nVidia's 7600 GT dominated most of our tests. At our highest resolution (1600 by 1200), with antialiasing turned off, the card won every single one of our eight game-based tests, often by a notable margin. For example, in our Battlefield 2 test the 7600 GT notched 55 frames per second, while the 6800 GT reached 42 fps and the X1600 XT hit 34 fps."
|
|
"The 7600 GT ran away with nearly every test we performed when compared with comparable products..."
|
|
"XFX has produced the fastest 7900 GTX to date with their 700 MHz core and 1800 MHz memory clocks. I would be willing to call up Vegas and put my money down on EVGA matching the speeds with a future KO SUPERCLOCK part. The thing about EVGA is they are the guys who see what you have and say, "Wait here, I’ll be right back." Then after you hear some pounding in the garage they walk out with a glowing product so special you can see the aura around it. As for what is on the table now from both companies either will satisfy your need for speed."
|
|
"Go out and buy a GeForce 7900 GTX SLI setup as it will provide you the best overall gaming experience on the planet. If you can afford that, let us suggest you grab you one of those big ass widescreen displays too. And don’t weenie out at 24” like we did, you might as well go for the gusto! "
|
|
"While the 6800 GS was our baby for a low-cost performance graphics card before, the new 7600 GT out performs it in the more shader-intense applications putting it in a special corner of our hearts; the cheap corner."
|
|
"Well, after running the GeForce 7600 GT through a gamut of benchmarks, we can definitely say that NVIDIA hasn’t forgotten about the mainstream price segment, as the GeForce 7600 GT is another killer $200 GPU offering from NVIDIA. Anyone in the market for a new $200 graphics card though should definitely consider NVIDIA’s GeForce 7600 GT. This card is definitely one of the best buys to come along since the GeForce 6600 GT, and the GeForce4 Ti 4200 before that. NVIDIA’s legacy for building compelling mainstream GPUs definitely lives on. "
|
|
"It does appear as though the 7600 GT is the true spiritual successor of the 6600 GT, and NVIDIA hopes that this product will last as long as the 6600 series did. Looking at the features and performance that this card brings to the table, I have few doubts that it will fulfill the needs of NVIDIA for some time to come across the midrange and eventual budget sectors. "
|
|
"If I had to sum this product up (7600 GT) in two words it would be: absolutely fantastic. "
|
|
"The GeForce 7600 GT, in particular, looks to be a great performer for the price and the new king of the sweet spot in PC graphics, much like the GeForce 6600 GT was before it. "
|
|
"The GeForce 7600GT is also in an excellent position. "
|
|
"On the whole GeForce 7600 GT proves to be a very welcome introduction, one that raises the performance bar for its class. "
|
|
"Sweet momma .. daddy likes some sugar in his coffee and this card (7900 GT) is the sugar! "
|
|
"If however money does play a part in your decision making then we think you’ll find the GeForce 7900 GT a very impressive gaming solution for the price. "

"I'd say the GeForce 7900 GT is in pretty good shape regardless. At about $299, a non-"factory overclocked" should offer more card for the money than the incumbent GeForce 7800 GT, until now a favorite of ours at this price point. "
|
|
"Things just get better for NVIDIA with the GeForce 7900GT. This card is sure to be popular amongst performance enthusiasts. If street prices settle around $299 as we suspect they will, the GeForce 7900 GT is going to be immensely popular. The card offers excellent performance with a single slot design, at a very aggressive price point. "
|
|
"Between the two GPUs, the slam dunk product in our opinion is NVIDIA’s GeForce 7900 GT. For $300 you’re basically getting a graphics card that delivers performance that’s a little greater than the GeForce 7800 GTX (typically the 7900 GT runs between 5-8% faster than a 7800 GTX), but in a smaller, cooler-running package. With the GeForce 7900 GT, NVIDIA’s basically established a new level of performance at the $300 price point... "
|
|
"The performance of the 7900 GT is definitely something to get excited about... "
|
|
"The EVGA 7900GT is in a class by itself. "
|
|
"Out of the box the EVGA 7900 GT CO SUPERCLOCKED is one very impressive card. This is undoubtedly the fastest mid-range card I have ever tested staying with or bettering the 7800 GTX in the benchmarks used in this preview. "
|
|
"While the 7900 GTX is a very exciting and powerful card, the 7900 GT and 7600 GT really wowed us and captured most of our excitement for this launch. "
|
|
"Go out and buy a GeForce 7900 GTX SLI setup as it will provide you the best overall gaming experience on the planet. If you can afford that, let us suggest you grab you one of those big ass widescreen displays too. And don’t weenie out at 24” like we did, you might as well go for the gusto! "
|
|
"There is no doubt that the 7900 GTX is one fast card, easily the fastest card available from Nvidia. "
|
|
"Overall, I am quite pleased with NVIDIA's latest addition to the GeForce family (GeForce 7900 GTX) -- who wouldn't be? In my opinion, this entire product launch comes down to three key points: same price, same power consumption, better performance. That's all that can really be said without being redundant. "
|
|
"It's again the fastest flagship graphics card available (marginally here and there with the X1900 XTX from ATI) yet it's price ... yeah that's what I like the most. You want to know why? "
|
|
"In the case of the GeForce 7900 GTX, NVIDIA cranks up the clock speeds significantly to deliver a part that outruns the so-called "GeForce 7800 Ultra" of yesteryear, the GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB. This is a pretty nice achievement, especially considering the GeForce 7900 GTX’s $500 price tag "
|
|
"The 7900 GTX is an outstanding performer in all of our gaming tests..."
|
|
"After spending some time with the card, it's clear the 7800GS is an excellent upgrade path for many users, especially if you have a modern CPU like an Athlon 4000+ or FX-57 to go along with it."
|
|
"The results of the 3D operations were surprisingly high, as in the best smartphones. The explanation for this is that there is a 3D-accelerator from NVIDIA (GoForce 4800) in the device. This is currently the company’s top solution and it delivers high efficiency in 3D games that are written in the appropriate API (it is 4X the performance of the K750 in this respect)."
|
|
"The camera performance is greatly improved due to the presence of the NVIDIA GoForce 4800 chip, and as a result, the photo quality is better."
|
|
"Amongst the hardware differences between the W900i and previous models is the 3D accelerator by NVIDIA, used here for the first time. Thanks to the NVIDIA GoForce 4800 chip, the device started driving video in high resolution, supporting 3D games with high fps. One of the examples of such a game is preinstalled PowerBall Arcade."
|
|
"From a hardware point of view, the use of NVIDIA 3D chipset enables the W900i to take QVGA 30fps 3GPP video. I have compared the video quality taken by W900i and Sharp SX833 (903) (Both of them can take QVGA video). I found W900i production is smoother than SX833 because of the difference between 30fps and 15fps"
|
|
"As you can see, the performance of the W900i is very high and its 3D graphics speed deserves special attention. The reason is the integrated NVIDIA GoForce 4800 GPU... The W900i is its first implementation and it is quite successful because the NVIDIA GoForce 4800 sports the hardware MPEG-4 decoder (up to 640 х 480 pixels) and JPEG coder (up to 2048 х 1536). The hardware accelerator itself looks appealing – it's fast and high quality."

"...EVGA’s e-GeForce 7800 GS CO Superclock board is the fastest AGP graphics card overall on the market right now."
|
|
"With the GeForce 7800 GS, Nvidia has given AGP users a reason to celebrate."
|
|
"NVIDIA has a winner on its hands in the AGP arena."
|
|
"Quite simply, NVIDIA has delivered a very good product. ... This card is an amazing addition and a very welcome release for the many hardcore gamers who are still using, and committed to staying with an architecture that's seemingly been abandoned by most manufacturers."
|
|
"This card is NVIDIA's fastest AGP based card yet, as it bested the GeForce 6800 Ultra in all of our tests."
|
|
"For now, we can certainly conclude that the 7800 GS is a worthy AGP part."
|
|
"So if you want to stay with your AGP system but want a better card, I see no reason to look any farther than the XFX 7800 GS."
|
|
"When you combine this with the 7800 GS OC AGP’s performance, you’ve got a combination that’s pretty hard to beat."
|
|
"The 7800 GS is probably the better choice overall because of its support for Shader Model 3.0 and 16-bit floating-point blending and filtering. These capabilities will no doubt make the 7800 GS more future-proof, as contradictory as that may sound for an AGP card."
|
|
"As it is, this is easily the best thing you can add to your ailing AGP system."
|
|
"...GeForce 7800 GS seems like an attractive parts for those determined to stick with AGP."
|
|
"The GeForce 7800 GS for the AGP platform is hitting a pretty sweet spot for me. "
|
|
"For user's who have AGP systems and were thinking about getting a new video card and NOT upgrading their boards to support PCI Express, the 7800 GS is really the only option I would recommend."
|
|
"This product is in a class by itself sitting under no cards shadow in the AGP market."
|
|
"The XFX GeForce 6600 DDR2 has provided HardOCP with the best gaming experiences we have ever had in the sub-$100 category."
|
|
"The new NVIDIA GeForce 6600 with DDR2 memory support again takes the performance lead in the budget GPU market. Casual gamers and second-system builders will definitely want to give this GPU, and in particular this model from our friends at XFX, a good look."
|
|
"This is easily one of the best graphics card values around. 5 out of 5 and an Editor's Choice Award."
|
|
"The bottom line is that the 512 MB GeForce 7800 GTX is one incredible piece of hardware."
|
|
"In just about every benchmark the only solution (not including its winning SLI configuration) that could beat the 7800 GTX 512 was the 7800 GTX SLI setup."
|
|
"The bottom line is simple: the NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 512 graphics card is the new king of the hill."
|
|
"The GeForce 7800 GTX 512 is easily the fastest graphics card on the planet."
|
|
"In any case, the GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB is here today, and for the time being at least, it’s the new king of the hill in desktop graphics performance."
