(08/05) Galaxy GeForce 6600 GT review by Guru3D - "The choice to do this with the 6600 GT model of course does not surprise me at all because hey, you can't go wrong with a GeForce 6600 GT, it offers so much fun and gameplay for its money. You'll have very respectable frame rates, all the neat technology features, the potential in a later date to upgrade to SLI and double your performance and so on. The sample we are testing today is based on NVIDIA's GeForce 6600 GT reference design, yet with a cool blue PCB, a copper heatsink from (I think) Zalman and the SmartFlash technology. It uses 128 MB (128-bit) GDDR3 memory, 500 MHz graphics core, 1000 MHz memory frequency. With its 8 pixel rendering pipelines and a PCI-Express interface it'll get your freak on :)"
(08/05) nVidia GeForce 7800 GT review by LegionHardware - "Roughly two months ago now NVIDIA unleashed their latest generation graphics card technology based on the G70 architecture. Known as the almighty GeForce 7800 GTX, this quickly became the single most powerful graphics card you could get your hands on. Although speed was certainly not an issue, the recommended retail price of $600 US did make this an option most simply could not afford. Therefore, NVIDIA has now released a slightly slower, cheaper version of the GeForce 7800 GTX. Known simply as the GeForce 7800 GT, the recommended retail price of $450 is also slightly easier to swallow."
(08/05) AMD Sempron 3400+ review by XBitLabs - "AMD is again expanding its value processor line, adding a new and faster model. Besides higher performance, the Sempron 3400+ brings in support of the AMD64 extensions and thus can effectively replace a junior Athlon 64."
(08/05) Sapphire A9RX480 Radeon Xpress 200 review by Techreport - "Based on ATI's Radeon Xpress 200 chipset for Athlon 64 processors, the PI-A9RX480 has many of the bells and whistles you'd expect from a high-end enthusiast board, including PCI Express, Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit Ethernet, High Definition Audio, plenty of overclocking options, and a truly unique aesthetic. On appearance and specs alone, this board looks poised to make a big splash among gamers and enthusiasts. Join us as we dive in for a deeper look at the PI-A9RX480's features and performance to see if Sapphire has indeed created a classic."
(08/05) MSI GeForce 7800 GTX review by Guru3D - "Armed with the fastest card to date, MSI is offering a really nice package here with their MSI NX7800GTX videocard. This review will cover all the basics that are 7800 GTX related; we'll use large portions of our reference 7800 GTX review as both cards really are 100% the same. Yes, 24 pixel pipelines, yes 8 Vertex processors and yes a 430 MHz core frequency and a 1200 MHz memory frequency running on 256 MB of GDDR3 memory. With these specs out of the way, let's start up this article."
(08/05) Sapphire Radeon X550 review by Bjorn3D - "Although Sapphire may be best known for its high-end ATI video card solutions, the company also offers a variety of entry-level ATI-based graphics cards. I actually took a look at Sapphire's X300SE HyperMemory card back in may. Today, it's time to review a card that is a notch up in the entry-level segment -- the Sapphire Radeon X550. While the X300SE HyperMemory costs around $50, the X550 can be found for about $75."
(08/05) PowerColor Radeon X800 GT PCIe review by Bjorn3D - "Around a week ago, we released our PowerColor X800 GT review. Throughout that article, I showed you how the card stacks up against a higher-end PowerColor X800 XL equipped with 512MB of RAM. We tested a handful of games stressing both fillrate and memory bandwidth. Today I will be looking at a BIOS update I have recently received from my friend over at Tul Corporation. Alas, I haven't had time to test for suspicious rendering or graphical anomalies."
(08/05) PowerColor Radeon X800 GT 256MB PCIe review by Hexus - "ATI's recent introduction of a limited edition Radeon X800 GT VPU has caused quite a stir in the enthusiast community, and for good reason. Priced between £85-£110 for the 128MB and 256MB versions, respectively, the cards' performance, thanks to 8 rendering pipelines allied to a 256-bit memory interface, has caused NVIDIA's current midrange star, the GeForce 6600 GT, to give up the performance crown at the crucial £100 mark. "
(08/05) ATi All-In-Wonder Radeon X800 XT review by Viperlair - "When it comes to multi media cards ATI dominates the integrated TV graphics card market with their All In Wonder series cards. Launched back in 1996 the All In Wonder series has seen little, if any significant competition. In the past there has been a bit of give and take when it came down to buying an AIW over a standard graphics card, but they have remained at the top of the heap since their release. The All In Wonder X800XT is a full blown gaming/multimedia monster of a graphics card, it is not a stripped down X800XT with a TV tuner thrown in."
(08/05) ECS KN1 Extreme nForce4 Ultra review by PCPer - "ECS has broken from their mold and is venturing into the high-profit, high-performance realm of Geekdom. Their KN1 Extreme nForce 4 Ultra motherboard has all the trappings that will lure a high-end consumer, while keeping a price that's well below similar competition. ECS has thrown in a lot of features and attention into their new product and they want you to take notice. So let's get on with the review!"
(08/05) nVidia GeForce 7800 GT review by Guru3D - "No less then two months after NVIDIA launched their beautiful GeForce 7800 GTX and quite honestly way sooner then I really expected, it's time to release a new product already. You of course heard and read about the product a couple of times already as it has been widely speculated by pretty much, well everybody I guess. First things first, rumors where pretty darn accurate this time. Today's product is of course based on the 7800 GTX, yet when you make such graphics chips you have to face yields. Let's talk a little about yields."
(08/05) Sapphire Radeon X700 Pro review by CoolTechZone - "Throughout our evaluation of various X700 Pro graphics adapters, we’ve analyzed pretty much every design there is to see in the market. In that regard, Sapphire’s X700 Pro is a hybrid offering. It’s not an Abit X700 Pro with a heavy-duty heatsink that covers the GPU as well as memory modules with a single design, and it’s not a Connect3D X700 Pro with the lack of RAMsinks. The card features a separate heatsink with four additional RAMsinks that are glued to the memory modules via an adhesive; we’ve seen this concept on 6600GT adapters from NVIDIA’s board partners, and it does work well. By opting for separate RAMsinks and a heatsink, manufacturers don’t have to spend additional resources in designing a heatsink and fan combo that cools the GPU and memory modules at the same time."
(08/05) PowerColor Radeon X800 GT review by Bjorn3D - "Today ATI is launching a brand new RADEON® graphic card the X800 GT. This particular VPU is targeted at NVIDIA's GeForce 6600GT and 6800LE series of cards. ATI's partners will supply roughly 50,000 units during the launch month which means there will be quite a lot of X800 GTs available. While testing the card I talked to Andrzej Bania -- PR and Marketing Manager for Northern Europe & South Africa. We spoke about X800 GT and how it will impact ATI's current line of products. You might recall X700 XT which was a direct competitor to GeForce 6600GT, unfortunetely ATI decided to can it in favor of a more powerful X800."
