NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 GTX Hits The Ground Running

Guild Wars Performance Performance
Guild Wars isn't quite as demanding in terms of frame rates as most FPS games, as it is more of a 3D MMORPG version of Diablo, so all of the cards really provide acceptable frame rates. Guild Wars also includes easy support for widescreen resolutions that you find on some of the newer LCDs, and you can see the performance results. The 7800 GTX puts in a good showing here. We had reported SLI numbers, but we've since pulled them as there is no default profile and the settings we ran with produced worse results than single card performance.

From what i'm seeing the 6800U SLI beats the 7800GTX[SLI] in most normal resolutions. I don't know, but usually when a new generation comes out it should at least beat the previous generation. Sure, it works wonders on huge resolutions, but very few people actually have monitors that can display these types of resolutions. Most people don't have monitors above 1200x1000 resolution, much less 1600x1200.Live - Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - link
What’s up with the BF2 graphs? The 6800u SLI scores more at 1600x1200 4xAA (76,3) then it does at the same resolution without AA (68,3). That doesn’t make sense does it?Sorry for the extremely poor spelling…

Good job Nvidia with the launch. Now lets see if ATI can match the performance and availability.ryanv12 - Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - link
From what I see, the 7800GTX is really of benefit to you if you have a monitor that is higher than a 1600x1200 resolution. Fairly impressive though, I must say. I also wasn't expecting double the performance of the 6800's since it only has 50% more pipes. I can't wait to see the 32 piped cards!Live - Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - link
