INTRODUCTION
We are quite used to paper launches when it comes to new chips from ATI and NVIDIA. Therefore, it was a nice change when NVIDIA both announced the GeForce 7800 GTX and also had cards out using that chip at the same time.
Today, I am testing my first GeForce 7800 GTX, a card from XFX supplied by NVIDIA and compare it to ATI’s current fastest card, the Radeon X850XT PE.
SPECIFICATION & FEATURES
After the huge success NVIDIA has had with the GeForce 6800 chips, expectations were very high on the new chip. So far the expectations have been met since the GeForce 7800 GTX is just as impressive as the GeForce 6800 was.
