nVidea GeForce 7800 GTX
Serious gamers and those who depend heavily on graphic intensive applications
like video editing need high-quality video cards, for their home entertainment
systems. The nVidea GeForce 7800 GTX offers superb performance under the most
taxing conditions, and makes even the most demanding video rendering smooth and
realistic.
This card fits into a PCI express slot. It has a 430 MHz core clock and a 600
MHz GDDR3. External connectors include two DVI connections and one HDTV / VIVO
connection.
The nVidea GeForce 7800 GTX requires a powerful CPU to take full advantage of
its capabilities. It should be installed in at least an Athlon 64 or Pentium 4
system with plenty of ventilation -- this card runs hot!
The card can be tweaked and overclocked to your heart's desire, but it can be
used right out of the box with almost any game on the market. For those who love
making fine adjustments, the control panel gives you plenty of options over
settings like Transparency Adaptive Anti-Aliasing as well as PureVideo,
including the new High-Definition Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing.
This card is one of the biggest we have seen. It is almost as long as the width
of most motherboards, and the cooler takes up the space of an extra slot. In
spite of this, it runs surprisingly quietly. Noise levels are well within the
comfort level for this caliber of video card.
For maximum game playing performance, the GeForce 7800 GTX allows you to set up
profiles for individual games. The profiles are set up and stored in the control
panel and kick in automatically when a particular game is being played. This
allows you to adjust the settings for the unique requirements of each game.
All this performance comes at a price -- this is one of the most expensive video
cards on the market today. This is not a card for occasional game players -- the
high-performance is specifically aimed at dedicated gamers. For these people,
the price gives you a blazingly fast card that runs cool and keeps noise to the
minimum.
