XFX GeForce 7900 GTX XXX, 7900 GT XXX and 7600 GT XXX

Introduction

Today is the day that NVIDIA finally fills in the gaps of the GeForce 7 Series. Well, there really was only one major gap - the midrange segment. In addition to filling that gap, NVIDIA is also attempting to maintain or regain (depending on how you look at it) graphics supremacy by upping the ante in the enthusiast and performance segments. The cards I'm referring to are the GeForce 7600 GT (midrange), 7900 GT (performance) and 7900 GTX (enthusiast). As is typical the last several quarters, this is another hard launch, and you should be able to find these cards available from NVIDIA's system builder, add-in card, and e-tail partners today.

Although everyone would love to have the flagship cards, very few can actually afford them, which is why this launch is probably most exciting to the average Joe who is looking for a high bang for the buck level. The 7600 GT is designed to compete with the Radeon X1600 XT, and according to NVIDIA, the 7600 GT is one of their best products ever.

While NVIDIA is targetting the X1600 XT with the 7600 GT, the 7900 GT and 7900 GTX are aimed at ATI's X1800 XL/GTO and X1900 XTX/XT, respectively. All three cards being launched today should come in at some pretty nice price points as well.

In support of this hard launch, we were fortunate enough to get our hands on one of each of the new cards from XFX. All three of the cards sport XFX's "XXX Edition" label and are of course factory overclocked.
