Reviewed on April 8, 2008Nvidia's new GeForce 9800 GTX chip is fast enough, but if your PC is SLI-capable you can spend just a little more and get a significantly better high-resolution gaming experience.

Reviewed on November 21, 2007Despite the usual caveats of an ever-fluctuating 3D market, for the moment, at least, ATI's new Radeon HD 3850 graphics card delivers the best bang-for-the buck in PC graphics hardware. Until now we haven't had an acceptable sub-$200 option for PC gaming this year. Thanks to AMD, now we do.TAGS:Radeon, DirectX, ATI Technologies, PCI Express, card, PCI, Nvidia GeForce, motherboard, video card, NVidia, games, PC
Reviewed on March 18, 2008Nvidia's new flagship 3D card delivers almost all the performance we expect for its price. If you can live with "almost," at this price range, then this is a solid PC gaming option. We also wouldn't blame you Crysis fans for waiting to see what's in store later this year.TAGS:Nvidia GeForce, power supply, NVidia, ASUS, AsusTek Computer, Radeon, card, ATI Technologies, video card, PC
Reviewed on October 19, 2006If you're looking for a gaming card to run Vista and play most games, ATI's Radeon X1950 Pro will get you there, but not perfectly, and its real-world pricing is higher than we'd like. We're more interested to see ATI's next-gen cards use the newly refined CrossFire dual-card technology, debuted here, but that will have to wait.TAGS:Radeon, ATI Technologies, power supply, card, ATI Radeon, Nvidia GeForce, NVidia, pricing, PC, games
Reviewed on March 14, 2008HP's Pavilion Elite m9100t is an expensive, fully featured desktop that doesn't quite have enough personality to distinguish it from its competitors at Dell. Between that missing personality and some poor design choices from HP, we can't get too excited about this desktop.TAGS:HP Pavilion, HP, TV Tuner, Intel Core 2 Duo, NVidia, Nvidia GeForce, TV, Intel, CPU, hard drive, PC
