  NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT: Value-conscious gamers best bet?

--

Gaming performance: F.E.A.R

With FSAA 4x + Aniso 16x enabled the 7900GT is just a frame per second slower than the 7800GTX. The 7800GT on the other hand is 4fps slower than the 7900GT at 1024x768 and 1280x1024.

With the FSAA + Aniso settings enabled the X1900GT is again slower than the X1800XT, though this time the margins were very small. The GeForce 7900GT struggles in F.E.A.R with the FSAA + Aniso settings enabled as it was significantly slower than the X1900GT.

Certainly ATI is showing some muscle here as it dominated the charts for the first time in our tests with the highest quality options turned on. F.E.A.R. is also the newest of the games in our test suite, and it clearly shows the GeForce 7600 GT roots of a budget card, with performance numbers well below the rest of the competitors.

Gaming performance: UT2004

Finally, UT2004 shows almost no difference in performance between the 7800GT, 7900GT and 7800GTX. Even with FSAA 4x + Aniso 16x enabled there is literally nothing separating these three graphics cards, as they render over 145fps on average.

The X1800XT and 7900GT deliver very competitive results and the X1800XT only dips as low as 140fps. The X1900GT on the other hand fell down to 123fps, failing to keep up with the pack and showing performance more in the range of the much cheaper 7600 GT. Despite of its age, UT2004 is still very popular and while most newer cards will play the game with ease, it does favor NVIDIA based boards.
