Sapphire X1900 Crossfire Edition Video Card March 3, 2007 - Its been the better part of a year now since the mainstream acceptance of SLI, and during that time NVidia has enjoyed a fairly decisive edge in graphics card performance and popularity among the masses.

At the time, I withheld judgment for one reason..... ATI's X1XXX Series cards received a fairly warm welcome as a major improvement over the X8XX Series. Now, with the release of ATI's X1900 video card ATI has a pretty formidable high end graphic solution of their own. Read full article

Asus EAX1300PRO Video Card March 26, 2006 - The world of computer enthusaists can be broken down into two different types of people: hard-core gamers, and everyone else. I don't want to categorize anyone, but it should be obvious that having a powerful graphics processor is of highest importance when it comes to gaming performance and image quality at high resolutions.
