GeForce GTS 250 Review Roundup

Topic:

Hardware Canucks published a GeForce GTS 250 review roundup featuring graphics cards from ASUS, Gigabyte, Sparkle and EVGA.
Quote from the review: "Believe it or not, this is our first review of the GTS 250 since we decided to sit back and wait for the initial fury of yet another rebadged card release to die down. Now that the GTS 250 has settled into the market (and quite well at that), we felt it was time to take a look at what a few different manufacturers had to offer. We have also recently seen a number of sales which have really piqued people’s interest in this card. Read more

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512 Review

Topic:

The Techspot published a review of the upcoming Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512 graphics cards.

Quote from the review: "With less than a week before retailers start selling the new G92 version of the GeForce 8800 GTS, we are sure many of you are keen to see how this new graphics card performs.
The GeForce 8800 GT was the first card released using the G92 core revision and as we found out weeks ago it features superior performance that nears the grand daddy GTX at less than $300. Unfortunately this outstanding product has been crippled somewhat by its poor availability which also translated in retail prices that surpassed its intended range. Even after two months of its initial launch the situation has not self-corrected. Read more

Foxconn 8600 GTS Video Card Review

Topic:

Today we are having a look at another NVIDIA 8600 GTS graphics card. This one is from Foxconn and is stock clocked rather than being overclocked right out of the box. Due to that fact this Foxconn 8600 GTS gives up quite a bit of performance to some other 8600 GTS graphics cards on the market.

Foxconn does have their 8600 GTS priced right, it can be found online from right at $189. This video card is also HDCP compliant and capable of playing back protected HD content. Read more

BFG 8600 GTS Graphics Card Review

Topic:

Today we are looking at another NVIDIA 8600 GTS graphics card, this time from BFG. The BFG 8600 GTS OC is overclocked right out of the box like the 8600 GTS from XFX we looked at earlier in the week.

Right now you can get some pretty good deals on the BFG 8600 GTS OC online which make it one of he best performing 8600 GTS graphics cards for the price you will find. BFG made the 8600 GTS HDCP capable as well so you can sue the BFG 8600 GTS OC for playing back HD video like Blu-ray and HD DVD. Read more

NVIDIA 8800 GTX, 8800 GTS, 8800 GTS 320MB, 7600 GT Fatal1ty, 8600 GTS & 8600 GT

Topic:

We cover lots of NVIDIA graphics cards around here and have been for a long while now. With all the reviews spread about the site I thought with the release of the new NVIDIA 8600 GTS, NVIDIA 8600 GT and the older reviews of the NVIDIA 8800 GTS 320MB, NVIDIA 8800 GTS, and NVIDIA 8800 GTX that it would make things easier to have one page that linked out to all the NVIDIA video card review goodness we have here on I4U.

I will start with the oldest NVIDIA review that I did back when I first started writing with I4U of the NVIDIA 8800 GTX from XFX. This is the card that started the DirectX 10 hardware movement. The card we looked at here was a stock clocked XFX 8800 GTX and it certainly had revolutionary performance.

A bit later I got my hands on the 8800 GTX video card from Foxconn which also ran the stock NVIDIA reference clock speeds for the 8800 GTX series. Not too long after the original XFX 8800 GTX video card review I was able to get my hands on a second stock clocked 8800 GTX from XFX to get some 8800 GTX SLI performance numbers, and they were fantastic.

PNY Verto 8600 GTS Graphics Card Review

Topic:

Today we are also having a look at the PNY 8600 GTS. Unlike the other three cards we are testing here today the PNY Verto 8600 GTS is not overclocked. PNY uses the standard NVIDIA reference clocks for their 8600 GTS.

This makes the PNY card a bit cheaper than the other 8600 GTS cards on the market but it does give up performance to the other cards in the class. If you are on a tight budget and you want an 8600 GTS, the PNY card goes for about the same price as the overclocked 8600 GT cards. Read more
