Nvidia has done it again, with it's newest
video card, the geforce 7800 GTX. If money
is no object and you demand the best, this
is the video card for you.
The 7800 GTX, which promises 600 MHz, 256
MB of 256-bit DDR3 memory and a graphics
core clock speed of 430 MHz, is the absolute
fastest video card, to date, that money
can buy.
Despite the high clock speeds, the 7800
utilizes a single-slot cooling solution.
This is made possible because of the processor
size which is 20 NM smaller then their previous
8600's. Also contributing to the cooling
of the card is the improved power managment
system, which automatically turns off unused
portions of the chip.
The 7800GTX is equipped with 24 pixel shader
units and 8 vertex shader units. With over
200 GFLOP's of shading avaliable, Nvidia
raises the bar, once again, on video card's
graphics and performance.
This is all in just one videocard, pair
them up in SLI mode and you have the best
video cards in terms of speed, stability
and appearance. One thing to watch however,
when running dual cards in SLI mode, is
that unless you have a top of the line processor,
such as the FX-55 you may find your video
cards waiting on your processor to catch
up. In this case you may want to hold off
on getting both cards untill you upgrade
your processor
