eVGA 7800GS CO SuperClocked - High end AGP Video Card Review  | Quote: |  | | |  | Originally Posted by Madshrimps |  | | | | | | | | |
Is AGP dead? Not yet according to nVidia and eVGA and we applaud their stubbornness. The 7800GS from eVGA we are testing today has an upgraded cooling solution and comes at SuperClocked speeds, way beyond those specified by the reference design. Can this video card give your aging AGP system a boost? Let's find out.

The 7800GT is still a great card for the high-end enthusiast. While it has been replaced in NVIDIA's lineup by the 7900GT, there currently isn't a higher performing card that's passively cooled. ASUS has done an admirable job with an excellent card. Their TOP is default clocked at 420MHz/1.62GHz, a 20MHz core jump and 120MHz memory jump over the reference card.

The delays are more because of political problems than anything else, GeForce 7900GX2 was launched for the OEM market at first and it seems the big PC builders are simply not ready to let go off the sole rights to sell Quad SLI systems.

You probably remember the Dual GPU solutions from Asus and Gigabyte. A single board with two GPUs like the 3D1 and 7800GT Dual Card. You probably already know that the GeForce 7950GX2 will be a single board with two G71 GPUs clocked at 500MHz, with memory at 1200MHz. Nvidia used their mobile design to reduce the power consumption but that is all old news by now. According to some OEMs, the 7950GX2 is supposed to be the new performance king. Not just for Quad SLI, it can also be a problem due to Nvidia`s SLI chipset licensing. We’ve learned that the release date was supposed to be earlier then the end of May. Some manufacturers actually uploaded a 7950GX2 manual a month ago.

I am not sure what exactly HIS has done with this card to make it perform so well with only half the pipelines as the 6600GT but I am quite impressed, espically given the fact that the card only goes for about $110US on Newegg. It is a great deal for people whom would like to play these games, but don't have the ability to pay for the really expensive cards out there.

One of the fastest graphics card in the world has landed in the ClubOC labs yet again. This time our friends at Connect3D have sent over their Radeon X1800 GTO. Although ATi has the X1900 series, the X1800 is still an incredibly fast card and is by no means considered a mid level card. Keep in mind, the X1800 was ATi's flagship model just a short time ago. The advantage of choosing a graphics card that is 2nd down on the list is you no longer pay 1st place prices. I'm all about saving money! So how does this card perform with some of our favorite games and benchmarking software? Let's get busy and find out!

NVIDIA'S GEFORCE 7900 SERIES is arguably the most attractive high-end graphics option for PC enthusiasts. With great gaming performance, low power consumption, mature multi-GPU rendering via SLI, and lower power consumption than ATI's Radeon X1900 GPU, the green team's G71 graphics processor has a lot going for it. What it doesn't have, however, is an NVIDIA-built graphics card to call home. Unlike ATI, NVIDIA relies exclusively on board partners to build graphics cards based on its latest GPUs. Fortunately, those partners have become increasingly adept at differentiating their offerings, giving prospective buyers additional options beyond the graphics chip.
Although partner cards share the same GPU and basic board design, manufacturers are free to play around with bundled software and extras, coolers, clock speeds, and of course, pricing. Factory "overclocking" has become particularly popular of late, with some manufacturers increasing core and memory clock speeds by as much as 25% beyond "default" speeds—a margin that can have more than just a modest impact on performance. Higher clock speeds don't always come cheap, of course, but they can go a long way toward making a card stand out. So can a great game bundle, a quieter cooler, or a lifetime warranty.
To get an idea of how different board manufacturers are approaching NVIDIA's GeForce 7900 series, we've rounded up a collection of cards from Asus, Biostar, BFG, and XFX. Read on to find out which offers the best performance, extras, and overall value.

The 256MB Asus EN7900GT TOP/2DHT/256M/A videocard is compatible only with PCI Express x16 slots so that means AGP users needs to get their fix elsewhere. The game comes with a large software bundle which includes a full copy of King Kong, two DVI to analog converters, a component output cable and a six pin molex power connector should your power supply not natively support the new generation of high powered videocards. Dual link DVI allows the videocard to run at super high resolutions, up to 2560x1600. Just think about two wide screen 30 LCD monitors running together, sweet! If that's not your cup of tea though and are still in CRT analog land, two DVI to analog converters are bundled with the videocard which allow for resolutions up to 2048x1536.

After looking at Connect3D's X1800GTO, it's HIS' turn with their new X1800GTO Turbo. This card features HIS' brand new IceQ3 cooling solution and comes overclocked right out of the box. Being a part of HIS' Turbo line this card has received a default overclocked speed of 520MHz core with the memory speed remaining the same. Why the amount of 520MHz was chosen is unknown but it seems like a small enough jump to be a pretty safe overclock without straining the card too much. Plus with the heavy duty IceQ3 cooler, overheating the card is hardly a worry.
