NVIDIA 7800 GT Mini-Roundup

EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GT CO

The last card that we have in this 7800 GT mini-roundup is by EVGA, a company who we've consistently had good experiences in regard to their quality of hardware coupled with their low prices. We've talked before about their lifetime warranty in past articles and we still consider it to be one of, if not the best warranty policies for a VGA card right now. They are also well known along with XFX for their impressive factory overclocks, and the e- GeForce 7800 GT comes with a factory overclock of 470MHz core and 1.1GHz memory clock speeds.

The front of the card has the same general features of the reference 7800 GT, with the standard glossy black sticker on the heat sink with the EVGA logo on it.

The box for this card is the least interesting of the three, but we prefer it more over the others because of its simplicity and tasteful design. It's also easy to get into and has probably the least wasteful packaging of them all. There aren't any extra games bundled with the card, but one thing worth touching on is EVGA's warranty policy. Both EVGA and XFX have lifetime warranties, but EVGA's policy is slightly different than XFX's. The way it differs from XFX's, or any other graphics card manufacturers' that we know of, is the fact that EVGA will replace the card for any reason except deliberate physical damage. That means that if you accidentally damage your card by excessive overclocking, EVGA will replace it for the cost of shipping. This is why we feel that their warranty policy stands out. You can take a look at the full terms of their policy on their site. Now, let's talk about overclocking.
