Report has compared the BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC, MSI NX7800GTX and the XFX
GeForce 7800 GTX Overclocked which are all based on the new NVIDIA G70 GPU.
MSI has put together a compelling package, as well, with its NX7800GTX. The card itself is a no-nonsense implementation of NVIDIA's reference design, and they've chosen to bundle just one very good game with it. If you don't have The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay yet, the inclusion of this game might tip the scales in favor of MSI. Also, if you're looking for an SLI motherboard and graphics cards from one company who has to support the whole lot and ensure that it will all work together, MSI is the only choice among our competitors today. MSI's three-year warranty on parts is, to me, almost as good as a "lifetime" for a video card. However, MSI's documentation isn't as polished as BFG's or XFX's, and they don't offer toll-free 24-by-7 tech support. Thus, the NX7800GTX is the sort of card one orders from an online vendor already knowing what to do with it, not the sort I'd recommend to a friend who's new at PC building or upgrades.
...fact is, the Series 6 product still is a huge success and it will remain that way a bit longer. I still recommend buying a 6600 GT or 6800 card to a lot of people. It offers massive performance and a 100% up-to-date feature set. |
