Price Is A Little Hefty, Box Doesn't Include Cheese For PhysX Whiners

We are trying out a new addition to our scoring system to provide additional feedback beyond a flat score. Please note that the final score isn't an aggregate average of the new rating system

Christmas is getting close and it's time to look at which GPU is best for the seasons hottest titles. We're doing a 5 Game shootout with the GTX-260 core 216 vs the ATI 4870 1 GB. [

We weren't expecting it, but the Nvidia BFG GTX-260 Core 216 (MaxCore) made it a clean sweep. With every game at every resolution, it took the lead and kept it. If this were a Shootout at the OK Corral the ATI GPU would be sprawled in a pool of blood...

The Sapphire Toxic HD4870 is looking to resolve these 2 issues by utilizing their own Vapor-X cooler as well as throwing in a little over clock just for good measure. [

Leadtek takes aim at the budget market with another entry into the WinFast series of video cards. [

  Perfect video playback,   Highly overclockable,   Price,   No dedicated power connection requirement,   Low temperatures

  Low frame rates on games over 1280x1024,   Hard to find in the US right now,   No HDMI sound throughput,   No accessories, other than an HDTV dongle, and a DVI->VGA adapter

Considering the target market this card is designed for, I was very impressed with it. For the price, I can't think of a more capable card that keeps temperatures down in a small case and will run on a small power supply. This card would be perfect for yo...

In addition to the GTX280, XFX also sent us their latest and greatest XXX version of the card for review. We decided to embrace this as an opportunity to compare the two cards in a head to head along with a number of other popular graphics solutions. Our...

  Extremely quiet,   The fastest single GPU based card on the market today,   SLI™ & Tri-SLI certified,   Provides the best performance in Folding at Home currently available,   Incorporates PhysX technology,   Low...

  Price may be a deterrent to some potential consumers,   No Molex to PCI-e 12V 8-pin power adapter,   The 10.5 inch length may cause issues in some mid-tower cases

We found the XXX to be extremely quiet even under load where the fan did ramp up to almost 50% of capacity. At peak levels the fan was not audible over the case fans in our test rig which are extremely quiet. How can we not be extremely impressed with a c...

Today we will be reviewing the Leadtek WinFast PX9800 GTX+. We will put this card against the older GeForce 9800 GTX Extrem OC from Foxconn. In addition, we will also run both cards in SLI and compare its performance against the GTX 260. Which card comes...

  Runs cool,   Able to run SLI with GeForce 9800 GTX,   Out-performs GeForce 9800 GTX, especially at high graphical settings,   Good bundle,   Decent overclocking result,   Three year warranty

  May be too large for some cases/systems,   Availability,   GTX 260 has a slightly better performance, especially at higher graphical settings (if you do not mind paying $50 extra)

Our test sample Leadtek WinFast PX9800 GTX+ that we have today has shown that the die-shrink of the GeForce 9800 GTX is something to be pleased about. It reduces the power consumption and lowers the temperature. What is even more surprising is that the Ge...

The Sapphire HD 4870 redefines the on going battle between NVIDIA and ATI. The 4870 has leveled the playing field, is it time for little ATI payback? [

AMD's new HD4800 GPU's have created quite a stir in the computer world. Offering great performance for a low price they have managed to get Nvidia to cut their prices on most of their new cards just to get in line with AMD's new offerings. We have reviewe...

Come take a look at the NVIDIA 8800 GS and 8800 GS XXX from XFX and see why for those of us who have to take a slower approach to upgrading our PCs, these cards are a great value. [

With each new series of videocard that comes out, it seems like the prices work their way up the ladder a little more every time. If you just can't afford to drop the serious cash required to get your hands on the hottest GPU on the market, the 8800 GS or...
