PC Perspective comes with a review on the BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC 512MB PCIe graphics card. About a month ago, NVIDIA released an update to their flagship line of GPU's with the GeForce 7900 GTX, GT and GeForce 7600 GT models. The short of it is that NVIDIA had a process technology shrink to 90nm and made some slight tweaks to the core. Then, after increasing the clock speeds a bit and changing the default memory configuration on the GeForce 7900 GTX to 512MB, they were ready to take on the Radeon X1900 XTX GPU's from ATI. BFG has consistently been a launch partner with NVIDIA for several years now and is one of the key retail sales leaders in the US.

NVIDIA's GeForce 7900 GTX GPU is easily one of the fastest GPU's on the planet for consumer markets, and the BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC model only improves on that situation. The BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC maintains a small, but consistent performance lead over the reference scores we saw from the sample NVIDIA sent us last month. The 670/1640MHz on the core and memory clocks brought with them around a 3% gain in overall performance. The higher your resolution and the more eye candy you turn on, the better, and we even saw Battlefield 2 show as much as 11% performance improvement.
The NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX was released with another hard launch meaning that there were cards for sale on the day of the official unveiling of the GPU, though supplies were somewhat limited and in fact sold out in many places after a couple of days. Stock was hard to come by until a couple weeks later where as now there seem to be enough GeForce 7900 GTX cards on the market to meet demand. The BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC currently is selling online for around $590 which is a bit higher than some of the GeForce 7900 GTX cards on the market.
The BFG GeForce 7900 GTX OC is a screaming fast video card for anyone that wants the best gaming experience for their PC. Taking NVIDIA's flagship GeForce 7900 GTX GPU, overclocking it for you and supporting that overclock with a lifetime warranty, BFG is certainly a winner amoungst the video card manufacturers.
