XpertVision GeForce 7900GS Sonic 256MB Review @ Hardwarezone
Hardwarezone reviews the XpertVision GeForce 7900GS Sonic graphics card, which features 256MB DDR3 memory and comes pre-overclocked. Hardwarezone gives a score of 4.5 / 5 along with the “Most Value For Money” Award and writes:
Call it XpertVision or call it Palit, the GeForce 7900GS Sonic continues to impress with its performance and value, despite the radical overhaul that the manufacturer has done to NVIDIA’s original design. The presence of an excellent and quiet albeit two-slot cooler contributes greatly to the positive aspects of the Sonic edition. Add to that the more expensive 1.2ns rated DDR3 memory (the Palit version comes with 1.4ns memory chips), which unfortunately didn’t help much for overclocking, the relatively low temperatures, the default overclocking and you’ll get a card that stands out from the rest.

The XpertVision is one of the most affordable GeForce 7900 GS models we could find now and at around US$200 (S$319), it is hard to argue against its attractiveness. It undercuts most of the competition and while rival vendors can point to their HDCP support or game bundles to validate their higher prices, the margin does favor the XpertVision and puts the pressure on other vendors. A special edition overclocked graphics card that is priced below the reference models? Enough said.
