BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC - TechAmok
BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC - [hardware] 01:06 PM EDT - Apr,17 2006 - post a comment PCPerspective
take a look at the BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC. Not only is the 7900 GTX OC one
of the fastest cards around, it is backed by one of the best lifetime warranties
anywhere.
The BFG 7900 GTX OC maintains a small, but consistent performance lead over
the reference scores we saw from the sample NVIDIA sent us last month. The
670/820 MHz on the core and memory clocks brought with them around a 3% gain in
overall performance. The higher your resolution and the more eye candy you turn
on, the better, and we even saw some games like BF2 show as much as 11%
performance improvement thanks in large part to the 100 FPS top out of the
engine.
If you are comparing the top NVIDIA GPUs against the top from the red team, the
X1900 XTX, you'll find that both GPUs share performance leads back and forth in
our initial 7900 series preview from last month. BFG's and other NVIDIA AIC's
overclocked cards should therefore increase any leads NVIDIA held before and
help alleviate any performance gains that ATI had. This is the one advantage
that NVIDIA has with enabling their partners to OC their chips.
If you are looking for the ultimate gaming experience, you simply can't beat
pairing a couple of these 7900 GTX OCs in SLI mode and pushing your resolutions
and gaming to the next level. Besides the obvious performance benefits that
doulbing your GPU horsepower gets you, the SLI platform has become incredibly
mature over the last two years and offers certain features and aspects that
ATI's much newer CrossFire can't quite yet. First, you can get NF4 SLI X16 and
NF4 SLI motherboards from quite a few vendors, the motherboards are more stable
and their other features (non-GPU based) are usually better performing and
higher in reliability. Currently the XPress 3200 chipset for ATI's CrossFire
platform is only available from a single motherboard manufacturer, though this
will change later this month. If you are looking for stability, options in
pricing and features and more robust game support then SLI is still the better
multi-GPU solution.

a review of the NVIDIA 7900 GX2 1GB SLI posted today that is certainly worth
heading over and checking out.
