We have seen the GPU blaze through the tests with Gainward's Bliss. But before wetalkofresults.we muststress that NVIDIA designed the GeForce 7300 GT to be very flexible in terms ofcore clockand memorytypeand clock with theirvendors' implementation. The result:a boom in creativitywhere we find NVIDIA partners with a myriad ofvariants. Inno3D has armed its GeForce 7300 GT (yes, it's got a boring name) with verycapable hardware that's almost the equalof the Gainward Bliss 7300 GT PCX. Crucially, this includes 256MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1400MHz. This is 100MHz faster than the Gainward and has a latency of 1.4ns, similar to those found with 7600 GTs. The core is clocked at the higherend ofthespectrumforaGeForce 7300GT at 500MHz, though still 50MHz behind the Gainward. Another rare treat with the Inno3D is the inclusion oftwo DVIoutputs and that deserves two thumbs up in our book. Targeted for the budget mainstream market, we didn't really expect much out ofthis card's bundle, and as expected, there wasn't much in the packaging. Userswillfind onlyasingledisc, where the graphics drivers and some rather dated InterVideo DVD applications are located.There weren't any games bundled and we also found the accessories rather skimpy but, then again, this was a typicalsight in value products. As we predicted for 3DMark2005, the Gainward and Inno3D were within 2-4% ofeach other, with the Gainward taking the lead. The ranking ofthecards remained unchangedfor3DMark06 too but nevertheless, the Gainward maintained its slender leadoverthe Inno3D. In ourgame tests, there wasn't much to separate theGainward and Inno3Dcards in thefollowing benchmarks involving Splinter Celland Unreal Tournament. Both cards had almost identical scores and were indisputably the faster cards for these two benchmarks. Moving on toQuake4,again there was hardly any difference between the top two and the honors went equally to both theGainward and the Inno3D. It is interesting to note that the higher memoryclockofthe Inno3D had more impacton its performance when anti-aliasing was enabled as we saw the Inno3D edging out the Gainward. There is no overclocking headroom for this card. The Inno3D evenfailed on even a minor 10MHz increment in the core and memory frequencies and itdropped outof3DMark06 halfwaythrough the stress test. This observation alone shouldn't deter consumers from placing this card in their shortlist. While the Inno3D name may have a reputation for budget quality, with a price of PhP 4,495, it's definitely got an edge - even a small one - over the competition here especially since its performance closely rivals the Gainward Bliss 7300GT and even surprises us by including dualDVI-D.
