Today we'll take a look at the GeForce 7800 GTX from Point Of View, a Dutch based company that for numerous countries has slowly taking a sturdy seat in the big graphics card arena. The PoV brand name was established in the year 2000. They have sales teams in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and France.
Armed with an amazing software bundle and the fastest card to date available, Point of View is offering a really nice package here. This review will cover all the basics that are 7800 GTX related yet we'll use big portions of our reference 7800 GTX review as both cards really are 100% the same.
Yes, 24 pixel pipelines, yes 8 Vertex processors and yes a 430 MHz core frequency and a 1200 MHz memory frequency running on 256 MB of GDDR3 memory. With these specs out of the way as a sort of appetizer, let's startup this article.
Be prepared for a rather long article though as we have lot's stuff to show you. First up to have an idea where this new product is coming from in terms of a performance and specs "point of view" (Ed: I swear Hilbert must sit around all day and think of bad puns... ) have a look at the table below:
