We have the new XFX R7970 Black Edition video card to evaluate, which is XFX's current flagship Radeon HD 7970 based video card. With a custom PCB, custom hardware components and custom cooling fan, will it take us to new heights in overclocking, or leave us wishing we had just purchased a "reference" card?
XFX is telling us that its new Pro Series Core Edition power supplies are focused on providing high efficiencies and tight voltage regulation. Today we review its 650 watt, 750 watt, and 850 watt PSUs and tell you whether or not this new series of XFX power supply is worth your hard earned money.
A brand new XFX Radeon HD 6870 Black Edition is on our test bench today, it offers a boosted core and memory frequency. We compare it to a GeForce GTX 470 and see how well it does in Lost Planet 2, F1 2010, Civilization V, Mafia II, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 along with overclocking results.
XFX is back with its "Love it or hate it!" heavy handed green and black industrial motif on a new 750 watt computer power supply. Just perfect for a new power hungry Fermi video card. Is XFX's new PSU up to our testing criteria? Last time around XFX did great, hopefully this one is up to our test.
XFX jumps into the PSU market at the 850 watt mark which has proven to be the toughest watermark for many manufacturers when it comes to building a truly outstanding power supply. We have seen many fail here. Can XFX pull it off and continue to diversify its product lines while keeping the trust of the enthusiast?
Today we are going to be evaluating the XFX Radeon HD 4890 Extreme, and if the box is anything to go by, we for should be in for a treat. We compare with a reference Radeon HD 4890 and a GeForce GTX 275 to see how it does in the latest games including Arma II, CoJ 2, and Ghostbusters.
We take our first look at a full retail boxed version of the Radeon HD 4770 from XFX. We’ll test its overclocking ability, take its temperature, and see what kind of performance it puts out while taking it for a spin around the block in real world gameplay testing. This dual-slot Radeon HD 4770 has a lot to offer at an attractive price.
We evaluate our first AMD GPU video card from XFX, the Radeon HD 4870 1GB XXX. We compare to MSI’s new custom N260GTX OC3. Both are tested against an ATI Radeon HD 4890 to see which comes out on top in F.E.A.R. 2, GTA IV, Fallout 3, FarCry 2, and Crysis Warhead. In-depth overclock testing too.
The XFX “Black Edition” GTX 285 is shipped with clock frequencies well above GTX 285 reference clocks. It is faster than anything XFX has previously produced and is poised to deliver an experience beyond what the GTX 280 could deliver. Does it have value, or is it just faster for the sake of being faster?
If you thought it couldn’t get any better than XFX’s well known “XXX” edition of highly clocked video cards, then you haven’t met its “Black Edition” yet. XFX has a new line poised to take the performance crown sporting the latest GeForce GTX 260 specifications. Six games played and A2A as well.
The GeForce 9800 GTX+ is supposed to offer better performance than a GeForce 9800 GTX to compete with the Radeon HD 4870. We see how the GeForce 9800 GTX+ stacks up against GeForce 9800 GTX and the ATI Radeon HD 4870 in Crysis, Age of Conan, Call of Duty 4, and Race Driver: Grid.
The highest clocked GTX 280 and GTX 260 cards from XFX are evaluated. We’ll find out the highest playable gameplay settings in Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Age of Conan, and Race Driver: Grid. We highlight real-world gameplay differences between the XFX GTX 260 XXX and GTX 280 XXX Editions and find which is the best value.
NVIDIA has released their highly anticipated DDR3 chipset, the 790i Ultra SLI and we take a look at this new piece of silicon from the green team in the form of the XFX 790i Ultra SLI.
What kind of gameplay experience does GeForce 9800 GTX SLI provide? We evaluate two retail XFX GeForce 9800 GTX video cards on an SLI platform and compare those to GeForce 9800 GX2, GeForce 8800 GTX SLI, and AMD's Radeon HD 3870 X2 CrossFireX.
Today we evaluate the gameplay experience supplied by Quad SLI using two XFX GeForce 9800 GX2. We play Crysis, Jericho, & CoD4 to examine real-world advantages at high resolutions and compare the Radeon HD 3870 X2 CrossFireX & GeForce 8800 GTX SLI.
NVIDIA has a new nForce motherboard chipset for Intel’s newest CPUs that brings with it support for DDR3 and SLI. Some of you are excited, while I can already hear groans of agony from others. Let's give you the straight dope on 790i Ultra.
We saw what the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 can do; now it is time for NVIDIA to step up and impress us with their “SLI on a card” video card with the GeForce 9800 GX2. Inside we will compare an XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 with two SLI setups and the ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 in Crysis, Clive Barker’s Jericho, and COD 4.
XFX’s motherboard based on the newly introduced NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI chipset appears to have enough power to hold its own against the current batch of Intel chipset based boards. Can this DDR2 solution really stand against Intel’s DDR3 based onslaught?
Want to know how the new 256MB GeForce 8800 GT compares to this season’s most exciting new video cards? We evaluate a brand new XFX GeForce 8800 GT 256MB XXX Edition in comparison to the 512MB 8800 GT as well as an ASUS Radeon HD 3850 TOP and Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 in Crysis, UT3 and COD4.
