Although we are all but at the eve of the launch of high-end DirectX 10 parts, from NVIDIA at least, the battle for sales between ATI and NVIDIA refuses to wane, particularly at those price points which are most attractive to consumers. One such price point which has attracted a lot of competition from both graphics IHVs is around the £200 mark, where we saw NVIDIA hold an early advantage courtesy of their GeForce 7800 GT part. From there, both companies have attacked this price point heavily, and continue to do so, with the launch of the GeForce 7900 GT, followed by the Radeon X1900 GT and X1900 XT 256MB, and now another refresh from NVIDIA courtesy of their GeForce 7950 GT.

Thus, our focus today is well and truly fixed on NVIDIA's G71-based refresh of their successful GeForce 7900 GT SKU, the GeForce 7950 GT. Our look at such a board comes courtesy of graphics and motherboard giant ASUS, and their stock clocked EN7950GT part - We take a look at just how much performance this clock-bumped core and memory adds to the already impressive abilities on offer via its predecessor.
