GeForce 7800 GTX Point of View Today we'll take a look at the GeForce 7800 GTX from Point Of View, a Dutch based company that for numerous countries has slowly taking a sturdy seat in the big graphics card arena. The PoV brand name was established in the year 2000. They have sales teams in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and France.

Armed with an amazing software bundle and the fastest card to date available, Point of View is offering a really nice package here. This review will cover all the basics that are 7800 GTX related yet we'll use big portions of our reference 7800 GTX review as both cards really are 100% the same.

Yes, 24 pixel pipelines, yes 8 Vertex processors and yes a 430 MHz core frequency and a 1200 MHz memory frequency running on 256 MB of GDDR3 memory. With these specs out of the way as a sort of appetizer, let's startup this article.

Be prepared for a rather long article though as we have lot's stuff to show you. First up to have an idea where this new product is coming from in terms of a performance and specs "point of view" (Ed: I swear Hilbert must sit around all day and think of bad puns... ) have a look at the table below:

NVIDIA GeForce 6 & 7 Product Lineup Specifications
Product Name	# pixel processors	# vertex processors	Bus width	Memory Type/Amount	GPU Speed	RAM Speed
GeForce 7800 GTX	24	8	256-bit	GDDR3/256MB	430MHz	1200MHz
GeForce 6800 Ultra	16	6	256-bit	GDDR3/256MB	400MHz	1100MHz
GeForce 6800 GT	16	6	256-bit	GDDR3/256MB	350MHz	1000MHz
GeForce 6800	12	5	256-bit	GDDR/128MB	325MHz	700MHz
GeForce 6800 LE	8	4	256-bit	GDDR/128MB	320MHz	700MHz
GeForce 6600 GT	8	3	128-bit	GDDR3/128/256MB	500MHz	1000MHz
GeForce 6600	8	3	128-bit	GDDR/128MB	300MHz	275(550)
GeForce 6200	4	3	64/128-bit	GDDR/128MB/256MB	300MHz	275(550)

The article will cover the science and figures that the 7800 GTX offers technologically and feature wise. We'll look at the new features, photo's, power consumption, overclocking and of course we'll run an uberload of benchmarks to satisfy your need for your performance context. Ya gotta tease to please right?

That being said let's have a look at the GeForce 7800 GTX, from a different Point of View... (Ed: Warning! This article has been rated EP: Excessive Puns)

Point of View Protab 2 XXL Tablet review
Today a review on the ProTAB 2 XXL 10" tablet from Point of View from their Mobi range. With a price of only 169,- EUR the specs are decent enough alright. Interesting enough for graphics, the ProTab2XXL also comes with an additional MALI-400 3D graphics chip. Now we never heard of it before tbh, and very little can found about it on the web. But we can certainly measure it's performance and it does allow for FullHD playback. The Mali graphics chip even allows to drive a mini HDMI v1.4 port.

Point of View GTX 570 TGT Ultra Charged review
Today's offering is of course a GTX 570, we nicked it out of the Eindhoven warehouse from the good people at Point of View. See, their TGT team is chunking out several new SKUs based on the GTX 570. Today we'll have a peek at their Ultra Charged model. The UC version is a guaranteed stable factory overclocked product that is overclocked towards a pretty impressive value. See, the default core clock frequency of the GTX 570 is 732 MHz, the TC version is clocked at a blistering 810 MHz, which is a pretty decent overclock. Memory wise spot an increased clock frequency on that 1.2 GB GDDR5 memory as well, taken from 3800 towards 3960 MHz.

Point of View Ion 330 motherboard review
We test an ION 330 based motherboard - ION is a relatively low cost GPU assisted solution that will allow this industry on very short notice to have netbooks with full HD playback quality, in multi-channel HD audio. A solution that even supports CUDA and therefore some simple PhysX functionality, but since it's CUDA compatible, it'll also allow encoding and acceleration of popular video content. A platform that supports Gigabit Ethernet, dual-link DVI (high resolution monitors), acceleration in Photoshop CS4 and heck... you can even play a couple of games or make a mini HTPC out of it, it's just really interesting as the product might be little, yet offers a lot.

GeForce 9600 GSO 384 MB review | Point of View
NVIDIA replaced the GeForce 8800 GS with the GeForce 9600 GSO. The 9600 GSO is still based on the same G92 core with 96 stream processors that the 8800 GS has, but NVIDIA gave card makers a bit more freedom in their designs in terms of own PCB design to and determine their own clocks. This 'old' card will still have 384 MB of GDDR3 memory over a weird 192-bit memory interface. Cards like these will sell for less than 99 Euro, and considering the performance you get returned for that, you'll love it.
