Reviewed on November 8, 2006This one is easy. Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTX not only beats ATI to market with its next-gen 3D graphics hardware, it also eliminates ATI's image-quality advantage in current-generation titles.

Reviewed on March 18, 2008Nvidia's new flagship 3D card delivers almost all the performance we expect for its price.

Reviewed on May 16, 2006PNY's highest-end 3D card is overclocked and comes with a few helpful accessories. We just wish that it included a game or two, as a $500 graphics card isn't very useful if you don't have anything to play with it.TAGS:NVidia, overclocking, GPU, card, HDTV, connector, power supply, Nvidia GeForce, USB flash drive, monitor
Reviewed on November 9, 2006The step-down GeForce 8800 GTS is no slouch compared to Nvidia's flagship GTX card.

Reviewed on April 26, 2006The GeForce 7900 GTX offers excellent visual quality and lets you crank the settings on just about any game.
