20 days ago the chip manufakturer nVIDIA presented the new 7th chipgeneration. Now we took a closer look on the referenz model we got directly from nVIDIA this time.

Regardless the graphics adapter you purchase, one of the key things after performance, price, game bundle and all that other stuff is customer service.

Although game bundles should be the separating factor, they are lackluster at best. However, customer service is something that should truly make or break the company, so to speak.
