Inno3D 7900 GS - 9/28/06 @ 7:55 am - By: MUYA - Source: N/A
Hard working Kyle Kerley has completed his review of Inno3D's GeForce 7900 GS.

Inno3D GeForce 7900 GS Review

He checks out performance in 3DMark06, F.E.A.R., Serious Sam 2, Prey, and Oblivion with this wildly overclockable GPU from NVIDIA.

"The overclocking results were so spectacular that I had to make them the focus of this review. Starting with the stock speed of 450MHz core/1320MHz memory, an optimal speed of 557MHz/1568MHz was achieved with the overclocking applet in the new ForceWare control panel! With RivaTuner, I was able to push the memory up to 1600MHz for a 24% increase on the core and 21% increase in the memory clock speeds"
