HIS AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT

14 May 2007, 05:00

Worth £250 of your money, yes. As fast as we had hoped for, absolutely not.

ECS N8600GTS-256MX+

9 May 2007, 07:13

Bottom line: The ECS N8600GTS-256MX+ carries sound technology that's not currently leveraged due to a lack of DX10-programmed titles. The price is also a little high when compared to the ...

3-way passively-cooled midrange shootout. Sapphire vs HIS vs XFX

4 May 2007, 08:45

Bottom line: we'd look past the Sapphire and invest the extra £23 and go for the HIS card. XFX makes an equally strong case, especially in performance terms, so it ...

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra

2 May 2007, 19:00

Bottom line: The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MiB is the fastest single graphics card on the planet and should make for the fastest multi-GPU setup, too. The question of whether ...

ASUS EN8800GTX AquaTank - the fastest graphics card in the world?

2

Bottom line: an interesting limited-run product based on sound engineering that offers decent DX9 performance. Much like the GeForce 7950 GX2, it's a performance/features stopgap until the Next Big Thing ...

GeCube vs Sapphire - Radeon X1950 Pro AGP: the must-have upgrade?

4 April 2007, 08:35

Bottom line - X1950 Pro AGP is a decent SKU, GeCube needs to do better in a couple of areas, so Sapphire, offering a consistent package in every respect, takes ...

HIS X1950Pro IceQ 3 Turbo review

28 March 2007, 08:58

Bottom line: as good as the non-reference designs are, we'd probably save the £30, buy a standard Sapphire X1950 Pro, and spend the extra on a triple-A title. Users looking ...

ASUS EAX1950PRO HDTP/256M - the best yet?

23 March 2007, 08:43

The ASUS EAX1950PRO/HDTP/256M manages a great deal without compromising on price. It's just a touch more expensive than Sapphire's X1950 Pro SKU, yet adds a nice heatpipe cooler to the ...

ECS GeForce 8800 GTS 320 graphics card - yours for £180

13 March 2007, 08:16

Bottom line: a well-executed product that's compromised by late arrival in the channel.

GeCube Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB GDDR3 FZ Cool Fan HDCP Edition

9 March 2007, 08:22

The massive cooler doesn't mean massive overclocks, either, and the lack of a guaranteed overclock makes you wonder if it's worth the wad of extra money. In comparison to the ...

Inno3D iChiLL 7900GS Arctic Cooling Silencer 6

2 March 2007, 07:17

The Inno3D iChiLL 7900GS offers a near-perfect bunch of enthusiast-oriented features at an excellent price and it's available right now. Recommended at £110.

Shootout at the 8800 GTX corral: ECS vs OCZ...

16 February 2007, 08:47

However, neither the ECS or OCZ efforts better the overall proposition offered by the likes of the widely available ASUS and XFX SKUs

Foxconn GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB O.C.

12 February 2007, 14:19

Bottom line - a well-executed GeForce 8800 GTS 320MiB package from Foxconn that's only compromised, we feel, by a slightly high price.

0

XFX GeForce 8800 GTS XXX Editions compared - 320MB vs 640MB

12 February 2007, 13:59

Bottom line - XFX's XXX Edition GTS cards are high on performance but distinctly average when price is factored in. Right now, given a choice, we'd go for the 320MiB ...

Foxconn GeForce 7600 GT

11 February 2007, 18:59

GeForce 7600 GT retail cards need to be aggressively priced and therefore offer significant value for money to the average user: the Foxconn FV-N76TM2D2 doesn't.

1

XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB DDR3 XXX Edition

5 February 2007, 08:22

Bottom line - the fastest graphics card we've tested and one that will continue to impress as DX10 titles hit the shelves. £460 is a lot of money, sure, but ...

ASUS EN8800GTS GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB graphics card

26 January 2007, 09:04

The bottom line is that the GeForce 8800 GTS SKU is a fine buy for folks looking for decent framerates in games available today and, looking ahead, for the next ...

Foxconn GeForce 8800 GTX FV-N88XMAD2-OD

8 December 2006, 08:47

Our main concern for the Foxconn FV-N88XMAD2-OD centres around the fact that GeForce 8800 GTX is all about technology leadership by the early adopters, so Foxconn's comparatively late entrance into ...

Sapphire X1950 Pro ULTIMATE graphics card

5 December 2006, 07:41

In view of the undeniable benefits of RV570 as a midrange GPU, the considered effort that Sapphire has put into this SKU, and the minimal price hike for a 'special ...

Despite its very limited focus, the HEXUS Bang4Buck graph says it all...

0

HIS X1650XT IceQ Turbo Dual DL-DVI 256MB

21 November 2006, 08:11

Radeon X1650 XT is a reasonable SKU and HIS' pre-overclocked IceQ Turbo version is decent for the most part. However, when judged against the competition in the same price bracket ...

XFX GeForce 7900 GS Extreme Edition & Inno3D GeForce 7900 GS Zalman Edition

17 November 2006, 08:49

We come away from this review pleased in the knowledge that current midrange cards still return decent performance, down to both NVIDIA and ATI's offerings being directly based on high-end ...

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX

8 November 2006, 19:08

We concern ourselves with a chip codenamed G80, Windows XP and D3D9, and a bunch of old and new games. The ride will require you to pay a bit of ...

15

ASUS EN8800GTX GeForce 8800 GTX 768MiB

8 November 2006, 18:58

If you want the fastest graphics card in town it will have to be a G80-based card. ASUS' implementation is as good as any. Recommended.

2

XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 768MiB

8 November 2006, 18:58

So my Christmas shopping list just got one item longer, and my family will be taking out second mortgages to afford the graphics card and quad-core CPU I now so ...

XFX GeForce 7950 GT XXX Edition

7 November 2006, 08:33

In summary, a product whose appeal is limited to a minority of people. If you happen to be one of them, this card is a current no-brainer.

3

Inno3D GeForce 7950 GT 512MB Zalman Edition

6 November 2006, 08:10

In summary, then, £200 will buy you a better GeForce 7950 GT 512MiB card for your money, with a higher-quality warranty and stocked at a wider range of e-tailers. The ...

XFX 7950GT Extreme Edition Passive 512MB

25 October 2006, 08:28

The XFX 7950GT Extreme Edition Passive delivers precisely what you'd expect for a 7950GT with slightly increased core and memory clocks.

8

Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 256MiB

17 October 2006, 11:04

The Radeon X1950 Pro, then, nudges the present midrange graphics-card balance in favour of ATI.

11

Foxconn GeForce 7950 GT

9 October 2006, 10:11

We mooted the idea of special signature boards bearing the Foxconn logo to the VGA product manager earlier in the year, wondering if they were going to go down that ...
