	nVidia GeForce 7900 GS Test High-end 3D performance for a mid-range price...	09/09/2006
The fun in 3D-chip land never stops, when we check the most recent market shares nVidia is still slightly on top of their main rival, ATI. ATI will not give up though, and with their newest card, the Radeon X1950XTX, they have shown that they can price their products as agressive as nVidia can. As this game will not stop anytime soon, both companies can only do one thing; offer better performance than the competitor at a lower price. Today it is nVidia's turn, and they introduce the GeForce 7900GS to the public. This card was already availble for OEM system builders, like Dell, but was not available in shops. The new card is meant to offer high end performance for a mid-range price, something that it seems to do very well. The card is a member of the 7900 family, but the price in stores will most likely not exceed $200. Read more
