How high can you turn up the resolution and detail with these mid-range VGA cards? We evaluate their performance in six different games to give you the answer. Read on to find out how much *oomph* you can get for your money. The Powercolor X1800 GTO and MSI NX7600GT-T2D256EZ (the one with passive cooling) are tested.

the overclocking part vor the GTO is not of the same high quality as the rest of the article
the thing i miss is some overclocks with higher voltages then stock (which is low on that x1800gto)

not bad for a a first review

.

You might try setting your camera's white balance setting to used light source, because the images look a bit too yellow.

I've tried correcting one using the GIMP's built in white balance correction and I changed the contrast & saturation too (they were horrible because the wb-feature of the GIMP isn't as good as camera's built-in wb-feature)

something to work on in the future, thanks, in upcoming X1900GT review I did some more extensive OC tests with increased voltages, outcome is positive

@HF: yes, that altered pic looks better, less yellow!
