eVGA 7800 GT PCI-E 256MB

by Rob Williams on August 22, 2005 in Graphics & Displays

If you are looking for a killer gaming card, but find the 7800GTX too expensive, then you will want to check out the recently released 7800GT. It’s been scaled down to 20 Pipes and 7 Vertex Units but it still packs a massive punch. We are taking a look at the eVGA version, which comes pre-overclocked! Time to see what this beast can do.

Now into the fun part, benchmarking! We are going to cover a collection of popular synthetic benchmarks. Even though they are loved by some and hated by others, they are still decent tools to use. We are also going to take a run through many games, some completely new and others that have been around for awhile. Here is a complete list of the benchmarks we are using:

3D Mark 01 – Link
3D Mark 03 Professional – Link
3D Mark 05 Business Edition – Link
Aquamark3 – Link

Half-Life 2 – Link
Counter-Strike: Source – Link
Battlefield 2 – Link
Guild Wars – Link
Need for Speed: Underground 2 – Link
Far Cry – Link
Doom III – Link
F.E.A.R. Demo – Link

For the Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 2 benchmarks, we’ve included results of applying Multi-Sampling and Super-Sampling. For the Far Cry section, we have included the performance results with HDR. Here are the stats for the system we are using during testing:

Processor	AMD 64 3200+ S939 Venice @ 2.00GHz
