Videocards performance

Those of you who are into 3D graphics will understand the charts themselves. And newbies and those who have just begun choosing graphics cards can read our comments.

First of all, you should browse our brief references dedicated to modern graphics card series and underlying GPUs. Note clock rates, shader support, and pipeline architecture.

Reference of ATI RADEON X1300-1600-1800-1900 series

Reference of NVIDIA GeForce 7300-7600-7800-7900-8800 series

Secondly, you can browse our 3D graphics section for the basics of 3D and some new product references. There are only two companies that release graphics processing units: ATI (recently merged with AMD and obtained its name) and NVIDIA. Therefore all information is generally separated in two respective parts. You can also read our monthly 3Digest, which sums up all graphics card performance charts.

Thirdly, see the test results of the videocards under review. We shall not analyze each test, because we've already done it on the example of the product from EVGA. Detailed analysis is also available in the article about the 8800 GTS 320MB cards. There are no tests of the MSI card for technical reasons either. But the difference in test results between this card and the card from XFX is minimal, about 4-5%.
