We have already seen what two Aeolus 7800GTX graphics cards can do in SLI mode. For those that missed it, here is a link to it. Throughout these pages we've seen what a single 7800GTX can do and the results are more than adequate.

The Aopen Aeolus 7800GTX is a next generation graphics card with many features. Put to the test, the 7800GTX can yield great framerates, as it did in all games tested beating the 6800Ultra and X850XT, both top cards in their category. The real comparison here though was with the ASUS 7800 and although the ASUS model performed better, it was only by a few fps, and that due to its slightly higher default core and memory clock frequencies.

The retail box follows the same stylish look of the Aeolus series. The bundled software is a complete bundle with no more than is needed, including two retail games (Pitfall & Second Sight), VGA drivers of course and the necessary cables, for a complete start up.

The Aeolus 7800GTX is a feature packed graphics card, supporting all the latest Nvidia features, such as Pixel Shader 3.0 and CineFX 4.0 Shading Architecture, which further improve the performance of this card to satisfy end users needs. As for temperature levels on this card, the cooling system is more than enough, capable of keeping the temperatures at acceptable levels without producing any significant amount of noise.

Concluding, we will take a look at the price for this latest generation graphics card, which is a bit on the high side in comparison to the previous top of the range cards such as the 6800 Ultra and X850XT, which is to be expected for a latest technology, high end graphics card. Heavy 3D users will surely love the performance from this card, for the price of $479 which is a relatively high price, hence the target group of this product is "enthusiasts".
