NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX Shootout

There’s fast and there’s always faster. It seems as if NVIDIA has given its partners some license to set GeForce 7800 GTX clock and memory speeds at their discretion. Our reference card was clocked in at 430MHz core and 1200MHz memory, so each and every retail 7800 GTX will be running at that speed.

We’ve been fortunate enough to get our hands on three retail GeForce 7800 GTX cards from XFX, Leadtek and BFG, respectively, and without letting the cat out of the bag, two are shipped with BIOSes that push cards’ GPU and memory speeds way above default. £350-£400 is a whole bunch of money to spend on a single graphics card. Follow us as we try to establish which of our trio offers the best value.
