Apollo Aposonic Radeon HD 3850 512MB Video Card 03-19-2008

Today I will be looking at the Apollo Aposonic Radeon HD 3850 512MB. It is a mid-range DX10 card, Crossfire ready, sitting in the notch between the geForce 8600GTS and the 8800GT. Will the HD 3850 make me turn my back on nVidia? Read on and see.

MSI NX8600GTS OC Video Card 10-23-2007

Clocking in at 700Mhz core and 1050Mhz memory, the NX8600GTS OC sports a 25/50Mhz increase over the standard nVidia reference set. The cooler is an upgraded design to MSI's "regular" NX8600GTS as well. When they're offering the OC version for the same price as the non-OC, who wouldn't go for that?

Zotac Technology 256MB geForce 8600GTS Graphics Card 10-22-2007

This will be the third video card that I have reviewed from Geeks.com that was built by a company that I haven’t heard of, or that I wouldn’t normally consider when purchasing computer hardware. I guess that I, being a fairly typical humanoid, am somewhat afraid of the unknown, and that especially goes for computer hardware.

ATi RADEON X1900XTX Video Card 04-17-2007

To get a feel for where the X1900XTX stands on the market, it was created shortly after the X1800 series to compete with nVidia's 7800 series. Specifically, the X1900XTX would compete with the 7800GTX. The X1900XTX, however, blew the 7800GTX out of the water and is more aptly compared to nVidia's 7900GTX.

Leadtek WinFast 7900GS TDH Video Card 04-10-2007

Idle temps at stock clock were in the low 50s, so I was pretty apprehensive overclocking with the stock cooler. The cube on ATI Tool heated the GPU into the low 60s. I tried some overclocking anyway, and even with a very mild overclock, I couldn't get through 3DMark06 without the program locking up. So, I install a Zalman FS-V7 that I had on an unused card. Idle temps immediately hit the low 40s.

OCZ Technology GeForce 8800GTX 02-23-2007

The OCZ 8800 GTX, like most every manufacturer's offering, is based on the NVIDIA reference design, so don't expect anything new or ground breaking here. But there are a few things that do set the OCZ card apart from others. First, the OCZ 8800 GTX is "binned to perfection" -- this means that every OCZ card is pre-screened and only the best cards make it to market.
