NVIDIA GeForce 7900GS Benchmarked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the video-cards-that-don't-require-a-new-mortgage dept.

Spinnerbait writes "NVIDIA has launched another salvo of more competitively priced graphics cards, this time hitting the sub-$200 mark. The new GeForce 7900GS is built on a 90nm fab process with 20 pixel shaders and 7 vertex shaders. The end result is that just about any medium to high res gaming situation can be handled with high levels of anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, while maintaining more than acceptable frame rates. Best of all, you can actually purchase a card in retail today, so this is no paper launch."

    Seems like a good casual gamer card. Of course the NIC integrated with my MotherBoard (bought/built in January) has been good enough for my PC gaming so far.

    Sub $200 is nice ... of course a lot of us on /. are saving up for a [Wii|PS3|XBox360]. =D
