Gateway FX7020

 

The Gateway FX7020 is a mid-level gaming system for those who want to dabble in 3D gaming but whose current system isn't fast enough.

Gaming-class graphics. TV tuner. Quad-core AMD processor. 3GB of memory. Copy button on card reader. Built-in IR receiver. Spare Backup online and local backup service.

Lame external drive interface. Some bloatware. Only 60-day Internet Security subscription. Somewhat unruly internal cabling. No FireWire ports. Motherboard not SLI-compatible. Labelflash optical-disc labeling incompatible with LightScribe technology. ;...

Gateway FX7020 review: Gateway FX7020

 

Gateway FX7020

Capable gaming performance in most current PC titles; TV tuner provides some multimedia oomph.

400-watt power supply might limit your 3D card upgrade path down the road.

Gateway's FX7020 matches an AMD quad-core CPU and a fast Nvidia graphics card to make a compelling gaming PC, with some basic multimedia features to boot. Upgraders looking for a deal might wish Gateway had added a beefier power supply, but as is, this...

Gateway FX7020 and FHD2400 Review

 

It's been years since $1,100 was a low budget for retail desktop shoppers. We remember spending that much in January 2007 to get a dual-core (Athlon 64 X2) Media Center PC with a TV tuner and all the trimmings, including a 250GB hard disk, DVD burner,...

Of course there are faster gaming machines than the FX7020 -- for instance, those with AMD's overclockable Phenom 9600 Black Edition instead of the stock 9600 that powers the Gateway. And a savvy build-it-yourselfer might be able to put such a system...

Satisfied computer geek.

 

Very pleased with the computer and especially the monitor.

ATX case, quad core, upper range video card, extra features such as built in card reader with good software to support it. I bought this with the 24" HD Gateway monitor and it looks awesome. Have had zero problems from the first boot up. The system is...

I have heard that the gateway support is lacking but have not had to use it ; I think the power supply will be an issue in the future if upgrading, but it is very functional now ; Keyboard and mouse are basic, speakers sub-par

Gateway FX7020 Phenom X4 9600(2.3GHz) 3GB DDR2 500GB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Windows Vista Home Premium

 

The Problem you're having could be more than a driver, you could've gotten a bad graphics card or likely bad Ram. nots not that rare

Excellent Budget Minded Gaming System

 

Can't beat this system for the price. I bought this to replace my ageing 4 year old Gateway since it was so reliable and such a work horse. It's fast. Plenty of storage. I've run so far F.e.a.r, Bioshock, and Call of Duty 4 at evey single thing maxed...
