Clearly, the arrival of GeForce 7900 is far from constituting a revolution. One is indeed closer to the serene evolution than of the great social revolution. On the basis of a base already rather solid, NVIDIA re-examines with the rise the performances of its graphics chips high-speed motorboats by increasing the frequencies quite simply, primarily thanks to a better smoothness of engraving. Those which hoped to see GeForce 7900 equipped with 32 pixels pipelines will be for their expenses, the architecture of G71 remaining overall unchanged vis-a-vis GeForce 7800 GTX. In the chapter of the good news, one of course appreciates the fall of the thermal release of the new chips, just like one appreciates the improvements of the PureVideo engine which becomes finally a little more than one simple name marketing.

Side of the chips proposed today by NVIDIA, GeForce 7900 WP is undoubtedly the model with the best quality ratio/prices since it does not only better than GeForce 7800 WP but also manages to supplant GeForce 7800 GTX! Moreover, the design of the chart is particularly tempting: short, small, the chart compacts would have almost paces of Ti4200! Only flat: the system of cooling of reference is noisy. The new top-of-the-range reference of NVIDIA, GeForce 7900 GTX 512 Mo, are for its part on the level of its claims although one will regret his system of ventilation doubles slot which although particularly silencer mobilizes a slot close to the port NCV-Express train.

Vis-a-vis the offer of ATI, GeForce 7900 GTX makes overall as well if it is better only Radeon X1900 XTX. The advantage seems with final leaning in favour of GeForce 7900 GTX, but of a very short head. NVIDIA counts for launching on a price of 549 euros including all taxes against 600 to 700 euros for X1900 XTX. On its side GeForce 7900 WP is very slightly in withdrawal vis-a-vis Radeon X1900 XT, provided it is true, of 512 Mo of memory, but question tariff it is the great variation! Whereas ATI proposes as well as possible its Radeon X1900 XT with 500 euros, GeForce 7900 WP is announced with 349 euros! Consequently GeForce 7900 WP is, ipso facto, nearer to Radeon X1800 XL marketed in the 360 euros. But side performances, Radeon X1800 XL takes some largely for its rank. While waiting for a repositioning of the offer of ATI, GeForce 7900 WP seems to us the chip with the best quality ratio/price, which is worth the Clubic.com selection to him. Damage however that its ventil
