The NVIDIA GeForce 7900 Series

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-shinies-for-the-precious dept.

An anonymous reader writes "HardOCP has posted their evaluation of the new GeForce 7900 technology. They fully cover widescreen gaming this time around too. 'NVIDIA has worked hard to try and produce a more powerful, albeit power-efficient GPU in the 7900 GTX and GT, and they've succeeded. They run cooler; are smaller, have less transistors, and they don't make you stuff cotton in your ears. The 7900 GTX and GT are just more efficient while being lightning fast.'"

    While I agree with the other respondant - that simplicity is inversely correlated with featureset - I was turned off by the Xbox 360 demo I saw at the store. It went something like this:

    Click the game I wanted to see...
    Wait...
    Get the developer logos...
    Wait...
    Get the instructions...
    Wait...
    Select character...
    Wait...
    Watc^H^H^H^H Skip intro movie...
    Wait...

    After 45 seconds of waiting for the game to load, I forgot why I was even playing.

    I mean, UT2004 didn't take that long to get me into a game on a 600MHz laptop.

    I'd rather have someone respond than be modded up.
