ATI-Dedicated Web-Site Reviews GeForce 7800 GTX. ATI Support Community Amazed by NVIDIA’s Latest Product

3:34 am | Anton Shilov

As ATI’s next-generation code-named R520 product is not available commercially, end-users who would like to have leading performance right now are likely to pay attention to NVIDIA’s top-of-the-range GeForce 7800 GTX graphics card. But not only consumers turn their heads towards NVIDIA’s latest product, but also Rage3D web-site dedicated to ATI hardware has decided to review the first GeForce 7-series offering.

It is unusual for web-sites dedicated to a graphics company to review products from competitors, but Mark “Ratchet” Thorne from Rage3D had decided to break this tradition and has published the first NVIDIA review on Rage3D, which was apparently his first time of hands-on experience with a top-end GeForce.

“What do I think of it? Clearly the performance is nothing short of amazing,” the author said.

“Compared directly to the X850XT Platinum it's easy to be impressed with the 7800GTX. Not only with the outstanding performance of the part, but also with the features it offers. With games already out to support Shader Model 3.0 and with more sure to come very soon, the oft denounced technology is now a truly viable feature that gamers should be looking for in a new graphics card. Couple that with SLI, which has been welcomed into the marketplace with open arms despite plenty of doubts cast on its practicality, and it's all but impossible to recommend anything but the 7800GTX when asked for high-end videocard advice,” the review reads.
