| Review summary | This one is easy. Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTX not only beats ATI to market with its next-gen 3D graphics hardware, it also eliminates ATI's image-quality advantage in current-generation titles. Throw in its sheer horsepower, and Nvidia gives the high-end enthusiast every reason to make this purchase Read full review |
Nvidia's GeForce GTX 295 is the single fastest 3D card on the market. Added bonuses like relative power efficiency and PhysX support sweeten the deal, but, even without those extra benefits, we'd still recommend this card for its processing power and reasonable price tag Read full review |
The EN7600GT is a great mid-range card. If you're looking to get into gaming but don't want to break the bank, you could do far worse Read full review |
Nvidia's GeForce 7950 GX2 should have been a contender. It brings two graphics processors to a single slot, costs half as much as similarly fast setups, and lays the groundwork for do-it-yourself Quad SLI. But the gap between this chip generation and the next is too close, so we recommend you pass on the 7950 GX2 Read full review |

Fine for the price, but we have concerns about their durability, and their bass can be overpowering
Seagate Replica
Takes all the hassle out of backing up, but some will want more flexibility and storage capacity
Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300
Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible
