Asus AX1800 XT TOP  | Quote: |  | | |  | Originally Posted by pcper.com |  | | | | | | | | | The Asus AX1800XT TOP is one of the fastest single GPU graphics cards we have ever tested, and the package that surrounds the card, including an external power supply, the full King Kong PC game and a USB game pad make for one of the best retail assortments we have seen. The innovations that Asus included on their TOP branded X1800 XT really do make it stand out from the crowd of reference designs, but the pricing we have seen on it will surely break some hearts, and wallets.

| |  | |  | | Asus Extreme AX1800XT TOP | | Quote: | | | | | | Originally Posted by AMDZone.com | | | | | | | | | | The EAX1800XT TOP is of course based off the VPU of ATI's Radeon X1800 XT, or the R520, which not only is fast but brought ATI up to the graphics quality standards of Nvidia. This includes supporting Shader Model 3.0, High Dynamic Rendering (HDR), AVIVO, and more. While the standard clock for the Radeon X1800XT is 625MHz for the GPU and 750MHz for the memory, Asus bumps this up to 700MHz for the core and 800MHz for the memory, all shipping speeds. To do this Asus brings in some massive heatsink and fan solution from Arctic cooling that takes up two slots and features four heatpipes and a copper heatsink to keep the system stable. The solution works excellently, not getting too hot and in fact we were able to overclock it further, but only slightly as we were limited by Asus' software how far we could go. We brought it up to 810MHz for the memory and 710MHz for the core.

| | | | | | | ATI X1800XT Crossfire | | Quote: | | | | | | Originally Posted by tbreak.com | | | | | | | | | | The X1800 CrossFire card looks identical to the X1800XT card although ATI has changed the cable for connecting the two cards compared to the older X850 setup. This is probably because the X1800 cards support dual link DVI ports for higher resolutions and refresh rates- an annoyance hat seriously plagued the X850 CrossFire setup.

| | | | | | | Caught in the Cross-Fire: ATI RADEON X1800 XT CrossFire Edition | | Quote: | | | | | | Originally Posted by xbitlabs.com | | | | | | | | | | ATI CrossFire technology in its first incarnation didn’t quite make it due to some serious limitations and the use of out-dated GPUs. The second-generation multi-GPU technology from ATI that we are going to present to your today is free from the earlier drawbacks and is compatible with the state-of-the-art RADEON X1800 graphics processor. How deadly the new CrossFire is for competing solutions? Is it free from the limitations of the previous version? Learn this and more in our review!

| | | | | | | nVidia 7800GTX 256MB REBORN - Voltage Modification Really Works! Part 1 | | Quote: | | | | | | Originally Posted by tekbunker.com | | | | | | | | | | I immediately raised GPU clocks to 525MHz/1350MHz , and ran 3dmark05 firefly forest to test, with a very minor increase in voltage I was able to bump the core up to 562MHz and not worry about artifacting, temps never passed 73C while at those speeds. Here is the big increase in performance I have gained since the Voltage modification.

| | | | | | | Roundup: ASUS and GB Geforce 7300GS | | Quote: | | | | | | Originally Posted by 3davenue.com | | | | | | | | | | As we can see from the photos, both cards differ considerably from first appearances. The ASUS model, if it weren't for the VGA connector's back sticking out, is almost a low profile design with an active fan. The Gigabyte model, on the other hand, is far closer to a full card design, but it features a passive cooling solution, meaning there is no fan to speak of. In reality, vertical height of a videocard is not a huge factor for most systems, so neither card really has the better design per se, just two different approaches that both work well.

| | | | | | | Gigabyte GV-3D1 6800GT | | Quote: | | | | | | Originally Posted by gamepyre.com | | | | | | | | | | First thing I have to say about the GIGABYTE 3D1 68GT is it is a great gaming card by itself. In most cases it outperforms a single 7800GT card in games and benchmarks by a significant margin. The idea of putting two video cards on the same card goes back to the old days of 3DFX. Having said all of that, I can recommend this card for owners of GIGABYTE SLI motherboards without qualm. The performance of this card when combined with a fast CPU makes this Dual 6800GT the equal of almost every NVIDIA video card on the market besides the very hard to find elusive 7800GTX 512MB card. If you want the ability to play your games in SLI level performance, but not have to actually get two cards, the new Dual 6800GT is a fine product. Special Thanks to our sponsors at www.directron.com for their continued support.
