» NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX/7900 GT Performance Preview

With their GeForce 7900 GTX and GeForce 7900 GT GPUs, NVIDIA's poised to try and take back the high-end crown from arch-rival ATI. These new GPUs don't come with the stratospheric price tags we've grown accustomed to. In fact, the 7900 GT delivers 7800 GTX-class performance for just $300. Rumors have been swirling for months now over the number of pipelines NVIDIA's G71 GPU contained. 24? 32? 48? Find out inside!

listen MR. Guy you sound like a nvidia fanboy now now calm down man
if ati really was sh!!ty then we all be on nvidia so you either got
bad luck or just spreading lies and think about it at least ati
comes out with drivers every month so lil problems that people got
can be fixed in sooner than waiting for a big fix every out of i
dont know 3 months or soo so seriously calm down and im not a ati
fanboy just a regular guy who buys whats best for me.

#71 Egglick is correct that there IS a Sapphire $299 X1800XT 256MB
on newegg (and in stock too!). For all intensive purposes 7800GTX,
7900GT and X1800XT could be lumped into the same category since
their performance is so close, but he is correct that the X1800XT
*512MB* is on top in most of those cases. However, that's the 512MB
version. Although it certainly doesnt do much for most games and
3DMark, especially at low-mid resolutions, who knows how much it
contributes to the leads in FEAR/COD2.. afterall, those games ARE
supposed to use very high res textures.

Dear firingsquad,

please do Zalman VF900 VGA heatsink review. Use on X1900XT and
7900GT would be good, especially if compare to NV5 and other
after-market coolers, and oc results ;).

140 frames in Bf2 with a 1800XT? what are you firingsquad reviewers
smoking. BF2 Doesbt play at 140 Frames, please, what game plays at
140 Frames. Stop putting these irrelevent and silly benchmarks in
your reviews and take some real frame measurements while playing ok.

Now if ATI could just equal Nvidia in drivers that don't suck moose
balls then their would be competition, but at equal performance and
price Nvidia is the clear winner because ATI produces unstable cards
with garbage drivers. why in the hell would a company hire moose to
write their drivers anyway.

Oh please, Outperforms what. The 7900GT and 1800Xt 512mb are neck
and neck, it only "outperforms" it by less than 5 FPS in
some games. Games vary, the 7900 even edges a 1900xt in one game.
But only like by 3 fps. The 1800XT 256 is neck and neck. SO right
now the 7900 GT isi the king of the middleweight ring. Its quieter,
much cooler (the 1800XT has a blowdryer on top and runs very hot),
and oc's well. The 7900GT that u saw against a 512 1800XT wasnt
oC'ed was it.......Thats what I thought, These great white sharks
will swallow the 1800 guppies, or at least swim side by side with
the,, but they will never be eaten.

"Nobody cares about 3dmark. Thanks for the useless information

that's allready included in the benchmarks. "

firingsquad only used 3DMark2006, that's why I posted 3DMark2003 and
3DMark2005 scores. But being big annonymous know it all, you knew
that already.


#67. nVidia "just" equal price and performance? ATI's
cards, like the 'old' 7800's are way more expensive.. but I'm just
nitpicking - to you $100 is loose change.

As for performance, I hope you realize that although stock 450Mhz GT
is used in majority of reviews, most people will pay the extra
$20-30 for the oc version (ex 550Mhz).


to put that in perspective for the ATI folk here, the X1900XTX is a
whopping 25Mhz (GPU and MEM) clockspeed bump over the X1900XT, (and
$600 vs $550)
