GamePC : Review on XFX’s GeForce 7900 GTX Extreme Edition

GamePC has a review on this card, XFX GeForce 7900 GTX Extreme Edition, a step less than the ultimate version of 7900 GTX from XFX, the XXX 'Xander Cage' Edition. No, I made that Xander Cage thing up.

With the extra clocks kicking in, of course this card has some edge over some other 7900 GTX out there. That's what I love about XFX. Of course, that comes with a hefty price tag too.

"The Extreme Edition card is clocked 6-9% higher compared to the majority of other 7900 GTX cards on the market, which gives them a performance advantage of about 5% in the most graphically intensive scenarios. The clock speed boosts are significant enough to show some gains in the benchmark charts, but are not quite enough to make a difference in terms of power consumption or heat production. The cards sip a little more juice from the outlet, but nothing to get concerned about.

While it sounds as if I may be shrugging off the 7900 GTX Extreme Edition, I should reiterate that this card is extremely fast. In both single-card and multi-card scenarios, the 7900 GTX provided us with our highest benchmarks seen to date. Sure, they aren’t above and beyond other 7900 GTX cards, but these cards can certainly live up to the claim of being one of the fastest non-overclocked cards on the market."
