| The Bottom Line | If you're looking for the fastest, most cutting-edge 3D card on the market, look no further. For now, Nvidia's GeForce 7800 GTX is it. | Though it's not the speediest, Nvidia's GeForce 7800 GT is a smoking-fast card at a price notably lower than the category-leading 7800 GTX's. | This one is easy. Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTX not only beats ATI to market with its next-gen 3D graphics hardware, it also eliminates ATI's image-quality advantage in current-generation titles. Throw in its sheer horsepower, and Nvidia gives the high-end enthusiast every reason to make this purchase. | Nvidia's GeForce GTX 295 is the single fastest 3D card on the market, and for a relatively aggressive price. Added bonuses like power efficiency and PhysX support sweeten the deal, but even without those extra benefits, we'd still recommend this card for its processing power and comparative value. | |
