When we think of SiS graphics, we usually think of low cost, low-end cards or integrated offerings for the entry-level 2D market, with the possibility of some rudimentary 3D capabilities thrown in.

A competent card with older games, but it can’t handle the new generation of games.

A stunningly powerful card that tops the last generation’s best dual-GPU monsters.

There is only one card in this picture. No, really. Okay, let’s discuss this.

An exciting glimpse at future performance, but by the time games appear to make them worth buying, the price will have plummeted.

Potentially Much faster than a X1900 XTX in games with large textures yet it costs the same. At over $100 less than Nvidia’s 7950 GX2, it’s a fine card.

Performance, software and value that almost snatches away the A-List crown.

An interesting concept But performance is determined by drivers and ultimately it smacks of gimmick.

ATI’s 40nm GPU is an exciting development and takes over from the 4850 as the best mid-range card.

2D graphics speed has been a non-issue for some years, and the demand for analog image quality is also waning in the move to digital TFTs, all of which means that Matrox's reputation for analog engineering is now a moot point for most users.

ATI does it again with its latest GPU, combining superb performance with a reasonable price

The fastest card we’ve seen, but the performance boost doesn’t justify the price.

Graphics card manufacturers’ obsession with multi-GPU boards continues this month. The Asus HD 3850 X2 brings to market the novel formula of two ATi Radeon 3850 GPUs on one card.

A useful card for more relaxed gaming, and a quiet cooler to boot.

Possibly the last great AGP graphics card, and it's quite the powerhouse.

In the workstation graphics market, the name 3Dlabs carries considerable weight, and its Wildcat III series of OpenGL cards continues to be dominating in the high-end workspace. However, in the mid-range sector, NVIDIAs Quadro2 and Quadro4, and ATIs FireGL 8800 have made serious inroads. The new Wildcat VP870 looks set to redress the balance, thanks to a brand-new GPU that takes programmability to a new level.

Cheap, but there’s not much here to cheer about

A massive bundle worth the extra money, containing absolutely every tool a video producer might need.

Not bad value for an older card, but it’s too noisy.

Yet another older GPU that’s eclipsed by the 7600 GT.
