First Look at the Nvidia 7900s

**Lemur** · 03-09-2006, 19:41

Hardocp has a nice, lenghty article up. If you're in the market for a new video card (and who isn't, really?) it's worth a look. Also, if you've bneen kicking yourself and saying, "Where can I read an exhaustive 19-page breakdown on the new GPUs?" This is the place to make good.

[edit]

And if you were saying, "Lemur, that article is great and all, but where can I find a fifteen-page analysis by Anantech?" Well, here is your wish.

Good article Lemur

.

Here is an Alienware feature on the 7900 Series:

Now, for someone like me who was in the market for a new graphics card, this shakes things up...I was originally going to shell out $329 to NewEgg for a 7800 GT but now that this has come up:

Woooow!!!!

I am definitely getting that G71(7900GTX). It's a massive powerplant.

Reenk, let me know how loud the fan is on that thing. I'm excited about the 7900GT, since it seems like the best possible single-slot video card on the market, but some people are saying the fan is really loud. Inquiring lemurs want to know.

The reviews (at HardOCP, TechReport, HotHardware, etc.) pretty much all seem to indicate the 7900 series as being very quiet cards.

Touche

A review I read said that it was as quiet as the 7800...

Only one of the reviews I've read mentioned the cooling device on the 7900GT, and it was pretty negative. So this lemur wants to hear from someone who owns one. Lemurs value their quiet gaming rigs.
