ASUS EN7800GT Silent Video Card Review :: Test Setup and Performance

Author: Benjamin Sun · 05-22-2006 · Category: Hardware - Video Cards

We've tested several 7800GTs in the past, and it'll be interesting to see where the performance of a slightly core overclocked and highly memory overclocked ASUS card fits into the performance against other 7800GTs and the 7900 series as well as a look at performance against the equivalent ATI cards. One thing to note about the 7800GT is it's based on a card released early last year.
