The Photos
On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 2560x1920 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Sony DCS-F707 5.1 MegaPixel.
Packaging first, hey you gotta know what to look for in the shop, right?
Alright as you can see, a 100% reference based board & PCB design. Though you will see a few custom design boards today I have to admit that the reference based cards work, look and perform pretty equal compared to the customized versions. The fan is silent and cooling pretty good.
Two times dual-link DVi supporting very high resolutions. I wonder at what point in time we'll see HDMI embedded on the cards, the board partners are hesitating so much. Graphics cards these days are getting pretty darn popular for HD playback through HTPC's.
A lot of you already have connected your PCs to an LCD-HD television. Good stuff! I hope to see HDMI/Displayport integrated more this year. Make no mistake, at GPU level everything is ready for both standards.
A review on the XFX Black edition GeForce 9800 GTX, after reading some of you guys will probably will run to the store .. as the XFX XXX and Black editions obviously have fallen in price after AMDs Radeon 4850 launch.
XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 Black edition review
King of pre-overclocked products has to be XFX, their speed-bin of releasing OCed products is exceedingly fast. I do not think that there is an XFX product out there that is not available as a triple X edition or other series name slapped on top of it. Today will be no different, we received XFXes top of the shelf product, the GeForce 9800 GX2, the cool thing is that this is the new mystified named 'Black edition' series of cards, meaning it comes with a nice pre-overclock and an lovely game bundle.
XFX GeForce 9600 GT XXX 512MB review
A review on that XXX rated version of the GeForce 9600 GT. Hey, only XFX can implement such a name for you. XFX have a "way" of communication and getting attention. They quite honestly deliver really impressive products. Today's tested product is no different.
XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB Fatal1ty review
The Fata1ty Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB graphics card comes with it's GPU core pre-overclocked at 650 MHz and it's 320 MB memory clocked at (2x) 999 MHz. If that isn't rather radical, the Shader domain inside that graphics processor is clocked at a lovely 1620 MHz. Now if that does mean jack to you, these are the reference specs a 320 model normally has: 500 MHz core, 2x 800 MHz memory and a shader domain clock of 1200 MHz. Can you already sniff the performance increase ? That's like bacon on your eggs man.
