Ever more 7800GTX reviews reeled in

DIGIT LIFE, explores the theory and architecture of the nVidia Geforce 7800GTX 256MB PCI-e graphics card, AKA NV47. The 7800GTX supports up to 1GB DDR3 memory and comes with six quad processors. Between you and me, better start building a new system rather than upgrading your existing system if it is more than two years. There is a follow up article with more information about how the card performs and what it is worth.

Hilbert Hagedoorn from Guru3D writes its own article on the 7800GTX extending over 28 pages. The 7800GTX has been presented as a vastly improved 6800 Ultra card, just like the 5900 was for the 5800 series. Guru3D has some interesting comments about the fact that a fully loaded Athlon 4000+ peaked at just 265W.

The G70GTX has nearly three times more transistors than the FX55 - fortunately, it doesn't cost as much. PCperspective like the rest of the reviewers have had a pair of 7800GTX cards for testing. Like other reviewers, the card has been SLied and overclocked. PCper also criticised the confusion created by all the SKUs available on the market, made even more acute by the introduction of CrossFire and SLI.

Bjorn3D has a real sellable card on review or rather preview. The They've got a Leadtek WinFast 7800 GTX TDH MyVIVO in the labs but did the testing on a test card from nVidia. Bjorn3D is also very much impressed by the fact that for once, it ain't a paper launch.

Hothardware and Marco Chiappetta get SLI and 7800GTX into act. Full details and double the fun. The 7800GTX will be CPU bound for quite some time, especially when SLI is taken into consideration. They also talk about the new Transparency Anti-Aliasing feature while consuming less than thre 6800Ultra. There is also some talk about what's next for nVidia and ATI.

Beyond3D is still looking for the killer apps that will push the Geforce 7800GTX to its limits. FSAA and the likes no longer threaten to make this generation sweat. Bring on HDR. B3D did not fail to notice the streamlined single slot design which promises cooler gaming evenings.

Abbas of Tbreak joins in the 7800GTX gig. ATI has a real fight on its hands now. Not only are its cards trailing single cards but worse, they get trashed when moving to SLI. The 7800GTX is often quicker than two 6800 Ultra in SLI. Consuming less than half the power and taking one slot instead of four. The right here right now factor did not went unnoticed by Abbas as well. µ
