GeForce 7300GS Roundup

We were eagerly awaitiing the first review of the 7300GS to pop up when suddenly HKEPC tests four such cards from Asus, Gigabyte, Leadtek and MSI.

The Gigabyte card is aesthetically the most stunning of the bunch with a yellow cover which connects the bracket to the heat spreaders. The card itself is passively cooled. The card is a 90nm model running at 550MHz and using 64-bit GDDR2 memory running at 800MHz. It has the same features as the beefed up 6200 that the 6500 was. Performancewise, it is a big let down as the X1300LE manages to beat it in a majority of benchmarks - 3Dmark01, 03, 05, Doom 3, HL2 and BF2.

the Inquirer - 7300GS is a big, lazy GPU
