User Reviews for ASUS EN7800 GT Top Silent

  • Reviewed by: vsiphant_1136781234

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 2 High end GPUs on one card, saves other pci express slot for something else (another graphics card...), very fast and quiet, better than xbox360, Comes with Call of Duty 2

    Weaknesses: Tricky installation, Huge size , maybe price

    Overall Evaluation: Overall this card is very nice. Plays games very smoothly. I decided to get this because for about the same price of getting 2x 7800 gt cards for sli, this card already has it set up for you. It leaves you room for upgrades later. The only drawback maybe its size. It barely fit in my Asus Vento case. It doesn't leave room for anything else. But then again maybe that's all you need. Installation was a good puzzle. FIRST THING to do is make sure the fan wires on the card doesn't rub against the fan blades. That happened to me when I first installed it. It started making extremely loud whining noises. I thought I had a faulty fan. It sliced through the insulation on the fan wires. The installation manuals weren't really any help. I ended up with left over parts, a dual gpu switch card. It doesn't tell you what to do with it or where it goes. I guess it is for intel motherboards. In the end I say it is very worth it. It just eats up games without any signs of letting up. It makes you want to buy every game just to see how it runs. Extreme performance, Extreme Price, Extreme size, and It makes your computer Extreme.

    Strengths: The 7800 GT Dual is like having 2 video cards in one. If you buy two of these, you essentially have 4 video cards.

    Weaknesses: Having Two would cost about $1700. You could build a nice computer for that much.Two video cards can increase your preformance by 50-60%, but having 4 video cards of 2 increases only by about 20-25%

    Overall Evaluation: If you are rich or have 1700$ and are an uber gamer then go ahead and buy two of these. If you like to run resolutions above 1600x1200, then having 4 video cards would help tremendosly. Otherwise, its just too expensive for the rest of us.
