NVIDIA HAS BEEN TALKING publicly about Quad SLI for half a year now, and Quad SLI configs have been shipping for a few months in a select number of ultra-high-end PCs. Today, at long last, NVIDIA is unveiling a consumer version of its Quad SLI component card, the GeForce 7950 GX2. A single GX2 plugs into one PCI Express slot, but it actually has a pair of printed circuit boards, two GPUs, and two sets of memory chips onboard. By itself, the GeForce 7950 GX2 is an SLI setup on a stick, a dual-GPU powerhouse that fits into the same space as any other high-end graphics card with a dual-slot cooler. Slide two of these puppies into a system side by side, and you have the potential for Quad SLI--but not the reality, apparently, if you're just a lowly DIYer.
Confused? So are we. But we do have a GeForce 7950 GX2 in our grubby little hands, and it's still a heckuva thing, quad SLI or no. Full Story at The Tech Report | |  | |  | | XFX 7950GX2 570M XXX Edition Video Card  | Quote: |  | | |  | Originally Posted by Legit Reviews |  | | | | | | | | |
Overall we've seen great performance out of the XFX 7950GX2. It does in fact provide the fastest performance of any single card on the market today. But, this begs the question....can this really be called a single card? After all it is two video cards literally screwed together, communicating via on-board PCI-E bridge, connected to the motherboard by a single PCI-E slot. I don't think there is a correct answer other than to say that the XFX GeForce 7950GX2 XXX is smoking fast.

NVIDIA's Quad-SLI was released only for system integrators. The first retails cards for enthusiasts are showing up now. The new name is 7950GX2 and it means smaller PCB and optimized design for self-builders. In our preview we show what NVIDIA has thought up this time and if it is something that you should look into for your gaming rig.

With VGA manufacturers releasing only PCI Express-based video cards, owners of AGP-based PCs were simply forgotten. Even though you can find quite easily AGP VGAs on the market, AGP users cannot find the latest releases for the AGP platform. For those who have an AGP-based motherboard, HIS is an oasis in the middle of the desert: they have just released an AGP-based Radeon X1600 Pro, which should satisfy owners of AGP-based PCs that are anxious to see new VGA models being released for this platform. Let’s see how the performance of this Radeon X1600 ProAGP from HIS is.

The X1900XTX is the best available video card on the market today in terms of image quality. The ability to use HDR+MSAA in games like Oblivion makes the X1900XTX the choice for the discerning high-end consumer who wants to play the latest games. I've always felt that speed was the most important factor, but with the advent of this generation of video cards, image quality has become more important to me. NVIDIA's 7950 hits the market today and we will post that review later this afternoon, is it faster or better? ATI has the best image quality, but the new 7950 promises unparreled performance in a single card solution putting serious pressure on ATI to do some homework.

The BFG 7950 GX2 simply outperforms every other video card we have tested, period. Without any overclocking over the reference speeds, this card is just plain fast and was able to beat both the 7900 GTX and the X1900 XTX in every benchmark we threw at it. Coupling two GPUs in multi-GPU rendering with 1GB of total frame buffer memory, the GX2 makes the most of NVIDIA technology to bring a best-in-class offering to the table. If you want the fastest single graphics card ("single interface card" would be more precise) on the market, then this is going to be it for some time.

Just over a week ago we reviewed HIS' X1800GTO and Connect3D's X1800GTO graphic cards. Both cards are priced under $200USD placing them in the high-end of the budget card price spectrum. This week we turn to the other end of the budget spectrum with three X1300 cards from HIS. Today are reviewing their PCI Express based X1300 256MB Turbo with the IceQ cooler. Being a part of HIS' Turbo line means this card has received a default overclocked core speed of 600MHz meaning this card is basically a X1300 Pro in a regular X1300's body.

The Advantages of the EVGA 7950GX2 card includes higher performance than any other single video card on the market, improved AA modes and more. Once NVIDIA releases the driver for SLI of two of the 7950s, it will likely outperform anything on the market. The EVGA card I'm reviewing here is default clocked for both the core and memory. There will be overclocked 7950 cards from EVGA in the not to distant future. Geared toward the extreme high-end enthusiast and gamer the e-GeForce 7950GX2 is one solid Gamers Gold Product!

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 out of the box 3D card in existence ,and the card will challenge most exsisting SLI systems as well. After that what is their really to say about an overclocked top of the line product that is basically a single card SLI solution. After that what is their really to say about an overclocked top of the line product that is basically a single card SLI solution. This card is a serious candidate for our Editors Choice Award here on motherboards.org, as it is new, innovative and faster than greased lighting.
