Notes

Unfortunately we only had less than 24 hours to test the GeForce 7950 GX2 card before we had to leave for Computex 2006 in Taipei, Taiwan. As a result, we only had enough time to run a handful of games and only three card configurations: the GeForce 7900 GTX, 7900 GTX SLI, and the GeForce 7950. This is far from ideal, as we would have liked to have included more games as well as more cards, including the GeForce 7900 GT running in an SLI configuration as well as the Radeon X1900 XTX. We also didn’t have time to test overclocking extensively. We’ll run all these tests once we get back from Taiwan and post it up as our official review of the BFG card.
