Reviewed on November 9, 2006The step-down GeForce 8800 GTS is no slouch compared to Nvidia's flagship GTX card.

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, Nvidia GeForce, ATI Radeon, card, NVidia, pricing, PC, games
Reviewed on January 18, 2007It doesn't look like your typical gaming box, but fortunately the Systemax Venture VX2 also carries a price that's atypical of a gaming PC. It's one of the better-outfitted $2,000 PCs we've come across. Gamers and anyone running high-end graphics apps should take notice of this unassuming desktop.TAGS:Radeon, chassis, power supply, optical drive, NVidia, card, motherboard, ATI Technologies, DirectX, PCI, Intel, games, PC
