"Nvidia's new GeForce 9600 GT graphics chip gives the Asus EN9600 GT some of the best bang-for-the-buck we've seen in a midrange 3D card. If"
|
|
"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."

"Mobile chips are not Nvidia's traditional playing field and a segment in which it had little success to challenge ATI's market dominance. The company however is serious to increase its pace and chip sales in a territory where it sees lots of growth opportunity. Recently, Nvidia introduced the Go 6200 and 6600. Now the firm expanded its high-end offering with the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra: The processor will mainly appear in prestigious performance and desktop replacement (DTR) notebooks and debuted today inside Dell's fastest mobile computer."
|
|
"...the XPS put up numbers comparable to a high-end desktop gaming machine. Combining the power of the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra with the Pentium M 2.13GHz, is downright unfair. It's no easy feat to run Doom 3 at 1600x1200 with high-quality settings at well over 60 frames per second. The Inspiron XPS Gen 2 laptop will outperform all but the most power of desktop systems."
|
|
"The main distinction from the AJP Z71A, however, is the GeForce Go 6600 graphics chip... a splendid achievement by NVIDIA, particularly considering the power-saving tweaks."
|
|
"Of course, all this performance can't be attributed solely to the machine's processor... a GeForce Go6600 graphics chipset. These are well-matched components that work as a team to produce this excellent performance."
|
|
"The target market for the 6200 products are the "well at least it's not integrated graphics" crowd. For them, we can recommend the standard 6200 without reservation. At around $110 for the 128MB version, it beats the pants off of any integrated solution and most other cheap cards, and can definitely let you play the latest games."
|
|
"I don't know of a card that can beat it at a price-point of $70 for value and performance."
|
|
"In the 70 dollar price range, there are absolutely no PCI-E video cards that can touch the 6200 TC."
|
|
"The XFX 6600GT is the best sub $200 card I have ever owned. If you want great performance at a great price, this is the card you need."
|
|
"Bottom line? NVIDIA's 6600GT offers the best gaming value going right now, and BFG's card should be the one you snag if you get one. So, go ahead, stop reading this now and go buy one - really, no other 6600GT-based card performs as well."
|
|
"The biggest thing to draw from this review today is that the 6600GT is a nice mainstream card that provides support for the latest DirectX and OpenGL standards while at the same time performing a cut above the high end cards of the previous generation. Both eVGA and Chaintech have put together good examples of a reference 6600GT design. Both are great buys and we would have no hesitation in recommending the 6600GT in either flavor."
|
|
"All three GeForce 6600 GT-based video cards we tested today will provide you with a great gameplay experience, and they really are the best value in the mainstream video card category."
|
|
"The BFG GeForce 6600GT OC is an excellent graphics card for everyday users who want reasonable 3D performance, and will even suit gamers on a budget."
|
|
"Amazed. That is how I feel after reviewing the Leadtek A6600 GT TDH. This small card packs a punch worthy of a heavy-weight title."
|
|
"Overall, the Leadtek WinFast PX6600 GT TDH is a great little card for around $200. The included bundle adds a considerable amount to the package. The software and utilities are useful and handy while the games are very popular even if they aren't all that new. The PX6600 GT's performance is quite good and at times impressive, especially when in SLI mode."
|
|
"The bottom line is that for anyone who's looking for most of the performance of the high-end cards, at almost half the price, look no further than the XFX GeForce 6600GT AGP. It's a great card and you won't be disappointed."
|
|
"Frankly, I was shocked by the overall performance of the Chaintech Geforce 6600 GT SE6600G PCI Express video cards. My reason for this shock and awe was how well it performed under all my torture tests. I was hard pressed to even get the cards to artifact during testing, no matter how hard I pushed, which was a first and especially on NVIDIA graphics cards for me personally. Graphics performance was thoroughly examined in single card mode, and also using dual SLI mode with a SLI bridge topping the two bright turquoise PCI Express video cards. I began testing with the 66.93 drivers, and progressed to the 75.90 NVIDIA ForceWare drivers which worked like a charm.
This product exceeded my wildest expectations."
|
|
"The ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe easily makes our list of great motherboards. While the price may be sitting in the rather steep $200 range, we don't hesitate to recommend this motherboard for your next SLI rig. If you're on the path to getting two GeForce 6800 Ultras, adding the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe to your shopping cart will be a step in the right direction."
|
|
"The BFG GeForce 6800GT OC delivers top-notch 3D performance now, and promises to be a decent long-term buy for gaming enthusiasts."
|
|
"If your goal is the best mobile 3D performance available, then nVidia's DDR3-based solution will give you the best frame rates."
|
|
"If you crave fast 3D gaming performance that you can carry in a backpack, the GeForce Go 6800 will scratch your itch. Just be prepared..."
|
|
"The performance of the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra is unprecedented in the mobile space."
|
|
"Fast, stable, great looks and phenomenal overclocking abilities are highlights of the LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D. It is hard to highlight all the positives about an excellent product without sounding too gushy but the nF4 Ultra-D is just that good. Definitely a must have for anyone serious about overclocking."
|
|
"In the LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D DFI was able to produce a motherboard worthy of all the hype that has been surrounding them lately. This board has a great layout, looks sweet, and is a strong performer. Considering its price this board is a sure winner."
|
|
"Foxconn has really delivered an exceptional value with the WinFast NF4UK8AA board."
|
|
"With the nForce4 Ultra's impressive feature set, generally competitive performance, and extensive BIOS-level tweaking, monitoring, and overclocking options, the Fatal1ty AN8 proves to be an excellent Athlon 64 motherboard."
|
|
"There you have it. The rundown of the Fatal1ty's performance and overclocking potential is definitely exceptional. While the board lacks great VDIMM options, the BIOS allows other great voltage ranges and many memory adjustments. I'm pretty sure that most of you are interested in the comparison against DFI's Ultra-D, and our review of that motherboard will arrive soon. As for now, the Fatal1ty provides great performance and overclocking headroom for the gamers."
|
|
"The Foxconn Winfast NF4K8MC-ERS is the first nForce 4 and the first PCI-Express motherboard that I have had the chance to review and it is a nice motherboard. Since it is a micro-ATX motherboard I didn't expect it to have tons of ports and connectors and to still get 4 SATA port and 2 IDE ports with full RAID support as well as both USB2 and Firewire ports is a definite plus with this motherboard."
|
|
"Hands down the best motherboard I've ever used. The LANParty NF4 SLI-DR is an awesome performer that really shows what AMD's socket 939 is capable of. Couple that with the best bundle available and this board is the standard all others should be judged against."
|
|
"There is not a whole lot more to say about theDFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR that we have not already said about the Ultra-D. This should be on the short list of boards to get for anyone that has the slightest inclination to tinker and is also looking for a SLI board. This is a board that will let power users squeeze as much performance out of their 939 chip as possible. It is not often that it can be claimed that one particular part will never hamper a spirited overclocking attempt but the nF4 SLI-DR is one of those rare cases where there should be no doubts about its pedigree."
|
|
"Rock solid, clean design and superb performance make this a great choice for gaming."
|
|
"Since the PX6800 has the option for the budding SLI technology it deserves a little more in the ratings. I give the Leadtek PX6800 TDH 9.5 pimp hats and award it the PimpRig Pimp Gear Award."
|
|
"Bragging rights as a PC gamer are fleeting, at best. Someone can always come along in a few months with a faster system. But as games become more graphics and CPU intensive, having the headroom inherent in our liquid-cooled SLI system means that we won't have to upgrade this system for a long, long time."
|
|
"We had a lot of fun working with this [NVIDIA nForce4 SLI] board and for that reason we strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a top of the line socket 939 board."
|
|
"Known as the NVIDIA nForce4 SLI, this chipset supports a whole host of new and exciting features. The nForce4 series looks to be the best NVIDIA chipset creation yet."
|
|
"nForce4 Ultra is the chipset you're going to want if you're building a new Athlon 64 system."
|
|
"A single NX6600GT-TD128E is fast, and two in SLI mode can compete with a much higher end and more expensive Radeon X800XT based video card in most respects!"
|
|
"Well I'm more impressed with the board than the cards to be honest, as it offers pretty good overclocking at a very affordable price. If you compare it against the rest of the SLI boards out in the market, you will find that it is one of the cheapest. I applaud Asus for coming out with a plain-Jane version of the A8N for the consumers who do not need the extras."
|
|
"The 3D1 doesn't quite match a single 6800GT when the settings are maxed out and doesn't offer any further upgrade potential. It will also limit you in the future to using Gigabyte motherboards, which could prove to be too restrictive in the future considering the investment. But if you've already decided on buying a 6600GT based SLi system, the Gigabyte 3D1 bundle makes a lot of sense. It will save you money on a standard 6600GT set-up, is effective and also will reduce system noise and increased stability over a two card solution."
|
|
"Overall, the eVGA 6800GT PCI-Express offers excellent performance. For today's games a single 6800GT is plenty but for the extreme gamer with cash to spare an SLI setup is definately sweet. Image quality is simply outstanding. I noticed no glitches or stability issues while testing the cards individually or as a team."
|
|
"If you're the eye candy hungry guy/gal who needs to game at 1600 x 1200, the extra card will most often make a big difference for you. For a lot of the other gamers, one 6600 GT should suffice for nice gaming at 1024 x 768."
|
|
"All things taken into consideration, we rate the Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard four out of five stars and highly recommend it for feature freaks, overclockers and others who feel Gigabyte's redundancy measures are of great importance. While it is a good board, it's not the perfect SLI board for all users."
|
|
"Overall, the eVGA 6800GT PCI-Express offers excellent performance. In SLI the bandwith increase is enormous but so is the cost of an additional card. For today's games a single 6800GT is plenty but for the extreme gamer with cash to spare an SLI setup is definately sweet. Image quality is simply outstanding. I noticed no glitches or stability issues while testing the cards individually or as a team. eVGA has done an excellent job with the 6800GT PCI-E but I would have liked to see a game or two bundled with the package considering the price tag. We also notice that with features like AA and AF enabled the NVIDIA based 6800GT running single falls slightly short compared to the ATI X800 Pro in UT2004 and FarCry. I'm sure that would not have been the case if the 2 cards were teamed up but that could not have offered a fair comparison. I strongly recommend this video card to any serious gamer as long as you're not looking for any bundled games or software. This small shortcoming knocked off 1 full point off a perfect 10."
|
|
"As an aside, and I'm loathe to mention it, my general feeling from testing in the last few weeks, I have to convey that SLI as a platform doesn't actually feel finished quite yet, using pre-release hardware. The driver interface isn't great, crashes and performance issues in certain titles still persevere and two Ultra's in a loaded system get hot. Despite performance, which is undoubtedly very impressive, there's still a lot more than just framerate to consider as you ponder going down the SLI route. A lot of that is undoubtedly down to the silicon revision of the bridge used on the ASUS mainboard and there's also the ribbon connector to factor into things. The change to PCB connectors across the board is to ensure correct signal integrity. I'm confident that shipping SLI hardware released to mass-market retail will have the vast majority of the issues ironed out."
|
|
"DFI has a great product in theDFI nF4 SLI-DR, but it is not without a few very small shortcomings. Those minor issues however will not impact most users that will walk away happy knowing they just purchased a solid SLI motherboard with the most hardware perks and prizes you are likely to find in one box."
|
|
"Great performance and very rich additional equipment makes this motherboard exceptionally good."
|
|
"Asus paired the first-class NVIDIA-developments with rich accessories and high quality of development. The board convinces with excellent performance and plentiful features e.g. Serial-ATA, Dual Gigabit Ethernet and the integrated firewall. Who is looking for a overall convincing motherboard should buy the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe - each editor would like to have it."
|
|
"The ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe easily makes our list of great motherboards. While the price may be sitting in the rather steep $200 range, we don't hesitate to recommend this motherboard for your next SLI rig. If you're on the path to getting two GeForce 6800 Ultras, adding the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe to your shopping cart will be a step in the right direction."
|
|
"The GA-K8NXP-SLI oozes of being an enthusiast's motherboard, and it shows throughout, from the thoughtful packaging which doubles as a test bed for the board through to the comprehensive set of overclocking features available in the BIOS. Performance is also generally on a par with other nForce4 boards we've seen, and the whole system was rock-solid stable throughout. All in all, the GA-K8NXP-SLI proves all but impossible to fault. The biggest issue Gigabyte may face is the proliferation of cheaper, non-NVIDIA certified SLI solutins on the horizon, which may cut into the market for boards such as these. But even then, this particular offering could stand on its own two feet on feature-set alone."
|
|
"Overall, the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI is the best SLI motherboard on the market that we have had the pleasure of working with, not to mention that it is an overclocking giant. 2005 is looking to be a great year for MSI in the motherboard arena and we are happy to welcome them back to building true enthusiast products."
|
|
"The board performs on par (and better in most cases) compared to the more expensive Asus A8N-SLI nForce4 motherboard. Of course, when one takes advantage of the SLI functionality of the Asus platform, you have the potential for much greater performance compared to the Gigabyte platform, but that also requires a pair of expensive graphics cards. If SLI isn't your cup of tea; and you only need a single PCI Express graphics slot to use with your new Athlon64 processor, the Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 is certainly a board worth looking into."
|
|
"Like with the rest of the GeForce 6 family, NVIDIA has done an impressive job with SLI and is just riding more than just hype - they have the goods to back it up and literally bring next generation performance to the desktop today. In the span of roughly 8 months NVIDIA has managed to more than quadruple processing power in their GPU lineup. It almost puts the damper on next generation parts, but hey, they can be SLIed too. It is going to be a good year on the hardware side."
|
|
"And so once again, we'll tip our collective hats to the folks out in Santa Clara as they've truly stepped up big with the introduction of SLI, or the "Scalable Link Interface" for PCI Express graphics, if you will. We're hopeful that nearly doubling frame rate in Doom 3 is only the beginning and further adoption in the game developer community will provide more and more SLI ready and capable titles in the months ahead. Adoption is key for NVIDIA and the end user in this game called 3D graphics, early and frequent adoption of new innovative and enabling technologies such as SLI."
|
|
"SLI gives us a new way to expand the horizons of PC graphics power. By teaming a pair of cards, SLI delivers quite a bit more peak graphics performance than a single-card solution. There's nothing quite like taking a pair of the fastest graphics cards around and sticking them together on a motherboard. This is a very, very cool technology. Whether you're looking for the ultimate in performance or just wanting to upgrade your graphics on an installment plan, SLI makes it possible. One thing I'm still wondering is how well a pair of GeForce 6600 GT cards would perform in an SLI config. Hopefully we can have some answers for you on that front shortly."
|
|
"However, nForce4 is exciting mostly because of the incredible performance potential of SLI, which combines two top nVidia video cards into a monster video performance engine. It's not for everybody - SLI is undeniably expensive - but the prospect of a 40% to 85% leap in the performance of the most demanding games that you can run today will be too much for some enthusiasts to resist. No, you don't absolutely need SLI, but it sure is cool! Consider nForce 4 an evolution and refinement of the progress that nVidia realized with the nForce3 Ultra, and that's a very good thing indeed."
|
|
"....then only one conclusion is possible: for the low-budget segment the GeForce 6200 is the only valid choice. We reward budget-products with an excellent price/performance ratio with a Hardware.Info Bronze award, the nVidia GeForce 6200 TC absolutely deserves this award."
|
|
"Not everyone has a bottomless wallet. If you are a gamer on the budget, there isn't much of a better choice than the XpertVision GeForce 6200. It's fast, it's cheap, it supports DX9.0 and Pixel-Shader model 3.0."
|
|
"...for $99 it doesn't get much better than this. "
|
|
"Palit's GeForce 6200TC proves that TurboCache technology can deliver good performance on the PCI Express bus, while if you need an AGP card Sparkle's GeForce 6600 confirms NVIDIA's dominance of the low to mid-range graphics market...the Palit GeForce 6200 TurboCache is a bargain."
|
|
"The Chaintech GeForce 6200 TurboCache is the most budget and good performance that suitable for the low end users. The performance of the GeForce 6200 TurboCache is perform very well in all the benchmarking compare to the ATI X300. This Chaintech GeForce 6200 TurboCache was the most value and affordable price for the low end users."
|
|
"DFI set out to create the absolute best nForce4 boards that an enthusiast could find on the market. After spending several weeks with engineering samples and now the final retail boards, we believe that DFI has succeeded in their goal."
|
|
"The Gigabyte nForce4 Ultra boards looks to be one of the most full featured AMD boards money can buy. You have EIGHT SATA ports, and up to TEN USB 2.0 ports from the get-go, with no hubs required! The board is laid out flawlessly, and was rock solid during all our testing."
|
|
"The Gigabyte [nForce4] board was a joy to test and was exceptionally stable in all our benchmarks."
|
|
"If you're looking for a top of the line motherboard to go with that state-of-the-art Socket 939 Athlon64 chip, and PCI Express videocard, look no further than the nForce4 Ultra-based GA-K8NXP-9. It'll keep you happy for a very long time!
|
|
"If you thought that Intel boards are the only ones that can support PCI-E graphics and native NCQ SATA, the wait is over. The nForce4 Ultra-based GA-K8NXP-9 not only supports PCI-E, it also supports what was supposedly missing on AMD platform in the past years. This includes native SATA with NCQ support, built in firewall, PCI-E, gigabit Ethernet. In fact, it is already proven in our benchmark tests that this board coupled with a FX-53 outperforms a P4 3.6E with the same amount of RAM and graphics card installed!"
|
|
"Soon after the Christmas holidays our test labs were overwhelmed with a surge of Socket 939 mainboards based on NVIDIA nForce4. This is natural since NVIDIA is more relied upon as a trusted chipset developer and it has also left VIA behind in implementing the perspective PCI Express bus on the Socket 939 platform."
|
|
"You name it…nForce4 has it. Serial ATA or USB ports aplenty, full hardware firewall, PCI Express and more."
|
|
"The [nForce4 Ultra-based] K8XXP-9 has excellent onboard features."
|
|
"The [nForce4] has been an unparalleled success, not only being the first to provide PCI Express graphics to the Athlon64 platform, but the first to show off nVidia's SLI technology, making it a crucial element needed for building the fastest gaming systems on the market."
|
|
"Incorporating several new features besides PCI Express, the nForce4 chipset is really ahead of it's time."
|
|
"The performance boost from SLI becomes larger as resolutions increase and features are turned on. Doom 3 sees the 6600GT boost grow to 37%. Far Cry with 4xAA and 8xAT turned on at 1280 shows meaningful SLI measurements, with the 6600GT boost at 46% and the 6800GT SLI advantage, an impressive 60%."
|
|
"The GeForce 6800 GT SLI represents a level of gameplay that surpasses any single video card configuration on the market."
|
|
"NVIDIA's claims of nearly a 2X performance improvement were no lie—we witnessed similar gains in many applications, including cutting-edge titles such as Doom3 and Half-Life 2."
|
|
"I thoroughly recommend it [nForce4 and SLI] as an enthusiast, excited about the technology and what it gives you. I've spent time fawning over Half-Life 2, Doom3 and others recently, on FX-55 with dual Ultras, and as a geek and enthusiast, I think it's fantastic."
|
|
"There is simply no debate, NVIDIA has the fastest solution on the market with SLI."
|
|
"There's nothing quite like taking a pair of the fastest graphics cards around and sticking them together on a motherboard. This is a very, very cool technology."
|
|
"To the credit of both nVidia and Asus, the SLI system was very stable, and didn't crash during any of our game tests, nor did it crash during our 12-hour torture test of continuously running 3DMark05 at very high resolutions."
|
|
"It was to be expected: an [nForce4] SLI computer with GeForce 6800 Ultra or GT beats everything for performance!"
|
|
"NVIDIA’s new SLI technology offered by the nForce 4 chipset and its PCI Express GeForce 6 series graphics cards is certainly an innovation that deserves high praise for the upside performance potential it brings to market."
|
|
"How much praise do you heap on a board that tops all the DirectX 9 benchmarks and also tops every overclocking test that we have run? The DFI nForce4 boards are both exceptional performers at stock as well as incredible overclockers."
|
|
"The [nForce4 SLI-based] K8N Diamond from MSI, it is a good choice for an extreme gamer’s computer."
|
|
"The ASUS A8N-SLI proved to be the most stable in our tests finishing all SLI benchmarks without any instability issues with our 400W PSU which is certainly impressive."
|
|
"Another superb motherboard to choose from packed with features and giving super performance for your AMD Athlon 64 socket-939 processor is the [nForce4 SLI-based] A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard."
|
|
"The Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI is a board that should definitely be considered - SLI allows for some future proofing on the video front and the sheer number of features on the board will please even discerning power users."
|
|
"Basing our decision on the board's performance solely around how it does without a multiple-GPU SLI setup, the [nForce4 SLI-based] Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI is the fastest SLI-ready motherboard we have tested here at PC Perspective."
|
|
"The NVIDIA nForce4 SLI MCP is no ordinary motherboard chipset, but one that is squarely aimed at the elite enthusiasts who would stop at nothing to own the best technology there is in the market."
|
|
"I for one will be one of the first getting a few, just to brag about to my co-workers, fellow journalists and friends, it is good to own something that gives you bragging rights again."
|
|
"Excellent features… Excellent performance!"
|
|
"Although the MSI K8N Diamond that we reviewed recently had set very high expectations in the features department, Gigabyte's GA-K8NXP-SLI is just as equally spectacular."
|
|
"The 6800 GT was clearly the best buy among the $399 cards."
|
|
"When NVIDIA introduced an AGP version with similar performance at a similar price, the 6600 GT cemented its position as the mid-range card of choice for just about anyone."
|
|
"Yeah, we know that the Ultra’s are faster, but as far as bang for the buck goes, the GT has captivated our hearts and minds as 2004’s best GPU going. There’s ample supply of them and they simply kick the crap out of the competition at the same price level. Pixel Shader 3.0 is started to make its way into more titles and NVIDIA’s release of PureVideo functionality before the year’s end clinched the deal as this being the 'must-have' graphics card by gamers everywhere."
|
|
"NVIDIA’s GeForce 6600 GT AGP is the unquestioned price/performance leader at the $200 price point, there’s just nothing else out there that comes close to touching it in terms of speed or feature set at that price."
|
|
"On a technical level, we really like the TurboCache. The design solves price/performance problems that have been around quite a while. Making some real use of the bandwidth offered by the PCI Express bus is a promising move that we didn't expect to see happen this early on or in this fashion"
|
|
"NVIDIA's new GeForce 6200 with TurboCache succeeds on a couple of different levels. First, it brings the very same feature set found on the flagship GeForce 6800 Ultra down to a very affordable price point. The GeForce 6200 with TurboCache is also a very power efficient design that surpasses the capabilities of virtually all integrated graphics processors."
|
|
"NVIDIA deserves some praise for the GeForce 6200 GPU independent of the caching scheme. This graphics chip offers near-feature-parity with NVIDIA's high-end GPUs, and it brings an amazing feature set to the sub-$100 portion of the graphics market, including Shader Model 3.0 and three real vertex shader engines. T The fact that this thing runs Doom 3 at over 70 frames per second in High Quality mode at 640x480 impresses the heck out of me."
|
|
"For now the GeForce 6200 TurboCache looks like it will take the entry-level market by storm as what it brings to the table; such as PureVideo and most of the GeForce 6-series features combined with solid performance are definitely a first for this market segment."
|
|
"There's no doubt that in typical usage situations, however, the 6200 TC puts in a spectacular bang-per-buck ratio.
This card is important for more than just gamers. Performance is good, but what is interesting about the card is that the small amount of on-board memory makes it cheap, and will mean that it will ship in systems that would not have carried 3D technology before. With Windows Longhorn approaching - and requiring a 3D card - many corporations are looking to future proof their office machines with 3D cards, and this will be a low-cost opportunity for them to do so. This is a whole new market for NVIDIA and ATI to sell into, and it will sure as heck be a lucrative one."
|
|
"In summary, the 6200 series is important for a couple of reasons – first product out of the gate with true PCI-E and Shader Model 3.0 support. With the list of games coming out we feel SM3.0 will be an important check-mark in 2005 and beyond."
|
|
"At their price points, the 32MB version sits proud and it's well worth a look if you've no more than about £60 to drop on a discrete graphics card."
|
|
"If you're in the market for a new PC and need to keep the price under $500 dollars, make sure it does not have what we refer to as "ghetto graphics" (integrated) and the very least one of the new 6200's."
|
|
"Bottom line: Overall the best piece of gaming machinery that money – lots of money – can buy. Components like NVIDIA’s latest graphics, the GeForce Go 6800 PCI Express, will blow you away…. Perhaps the biggest inclusion is nVidia's PCI Express graphics. The nVidia GeForce 6800 Go along with the Intel Pentium 4 560 (3.6-GHz) processor produced stellar benchmark test scores."
|
|
"So what does the GeForce 6600GT AGP bring to the table? Quite a lot to be honest, as is evident from the benchmarks, but to put it simply; if you are shopping for a new AGP videocard at around $200 then look no further, this is as good as it gets."
|
|
"Compared to the $200 - $300 AGP cards available today, the GeForce 6600GT AGP can't be beat. For the first time in recent history our GPU recommendation is clear: the best bang for your AGP buck is none other than the GeForce 6600GT."
|
|
"Comparing the GeForce 6600GT AGP with the closest competing video card of this current generation, we find that there is simply no card for it to compete with. The GeForce 6600GT AGP and PCI-Express video cards are the fastest midrange cards you can buy. They offer all the latest features such as Shader Model 3.0 and OpenEXR support with their FP16 frame buffer, and they accelerate the latest games faster than the high-end video cards of the previous generations."
|
|
"This one's simple. If you're looking to spend about $200 on a new AGP graphics card, you want the GeForce 6600 GT AGP. Gaming frame rates are great, DOOM 3 performance borders on intimidating, and all the little extras that NVIDIA packs into its ForceWare graphics drivers are gravy. In the end, NVIDIA deserves credit not only for delivering a sweet $200 graphics card in the GeForce 6600 GT AGP, but also for having the foresight to develop the flexible HSI bridge chip that makes this card possible."
