Thoughts
Given that you could drop just about any GeForce 7800 GTX into my test system and get very close to the same benchmark results, my thoughts are going to focus elsewhere.
First of all, a quick word on when it's worth on upgrade to this class of card. Comparing the 6800 GT with this card has shown that while the 7800 GTX certainly does have a significant lead (as you'd expect), any game is still perfectly playable with the 6800 GT, even if you want to enjoy some anti-aliased goodness. Think on, however, to the next generation of games, and we might have a different story. 7800 GTX will still be up to the job, but 6800 GT may start to struggle. Yes, there's SLI to alleviate that problem, and what about the cheaper, but still very fast 7800 GT? Well, Rys has already compared 7800 GT to 7800 GTX in detail. Unless you have a monitor capable of crazy resolutions and a system to match, a single 7800 GTX is going to last you quite a while, capable of pushing the frames at your ideal resolution with settings set nice and high.
The bundle with this card isn't going to blow you away. There's a nice poster if you fancy flaunting the fact that you own a 7800 GTX and the software will get you started with a little bit of gaming, and perhaps get you to try out the VIVO features of the card. Speaking of VIVO, the breakout box for the card is nice, and the supplied Velcro is a nice "aw, that's thoughtful of them" touch. The supplied video cables also mean you shouldn't have any trouble hooking up whatever devices you might want to. However, it'd make us happier if there was a second DVI to DSUB adapter.
While the bundle isn't stellar in terms of software, it does mean that Prolink can sell this card at a competitive price. Checking it against other stock from a popular retailer, it was the cheapest by nearly £15. Given how every 7800 GTX is going to be as near as dammit to the reference design, if bundles and pre-overclocking don't bother you, you'll probably find yourself going for the cheapest, which could give this card an edge. You might, however, find yourself looking at a 7800 GT with a better bundle and cheaper still, while offering almost the same level of performance.
The PixelView 7800 GTX has everything going for it that any other 7800 GTX has. You'll have one of the fastest graphics cards money can buy, and at the time of writing it's looking like the most competitively priced solution. If you really must have a GeForce 7800 GTX, (and who'd blame you for wanting one), then you'll be quite happy with the PixelView GeForce 7800 GTX.
