Rock, paper, scissors. It seems as if the high-end computer graphics game is sometimes blind luck. You must guess what your opponent is going to do, and then attempt to trump them. Since the debacle that was the 5800 series, NVIDIA has been playing the enthusiast graphics game very well. Just under two months ago NVIDIA revealed to the world their next generation video card, the GeForce 7800 GTX. More importantly, NVIDIA was no longer playing the “paper launch” game that they and ATI have played way too much recently. Instead, NVIDIA rocked the enthusiasts world by introducing the idea of a “Hard launch,” -- meaning there was product availability the same day the product was announced -- something recently unprecedented in the history of high-end consumer graphic cards. The GeForce 7800 GTX is NVIDIA’s fastest and most feature rich 3D graphics card to date. We’ve not only had the pleasure of reviewing two 7800 GTX reference boards in SLI, but we’ve also reviewed a BFGTech GeForce 7800 GTX OC and two MSI NX7800 GTX cards. So far, every one has been a winner, providing the best gaming experience you can have today. SLI shows you what kind of performance you can expect for the future and allows you to play the latest games at very high image quality settings.
NVIDIA isn’t stopping here, as just as there was a “GT” version of the GeForce 6 series GPU, there is now going to be a “GT” GeForce 7 version of the GPU as well. The GeForce 7800 GTX is at the top, and right below that NVIDIA is announcing a new GPU today, the GeForce 7800 GT. What is the best part about this? It is another hard launch, so there will be product availability today. In fact, what we have for you today is a review of a full retail package from BFGTech. It’s amazing actually, we don’t even need to wait for reference boards, here we are with the full retail NVIDIA partner video card, which is exactly what you will be able to purchase.
