NVIDIA 7800GT have been around in the market for quite sometime, but every card possessed the same printed circuit board and heatsink as the reference 7800GT by NVIDIA except for different brand’s emblem on the heatsink to distinguish themselves. This Asus Extreme N7800GT Blue LED Edition that we will look into today, is one of the first very few to have a different 7800GT from the reference, possessing a different heatsink and printed circuit board. It comes with a pretty blue LED on the heatsink to light up the card.

The Asus Extreme N7800GT Blue LED Edition comes in a large box with adequate protection of the card from shocks using bubble blocks. As seen on the box, features such as SLi, HDTV, VIVO and ASUS’s very own Splendid video enhancing technology feature. No indications of Blue LED Edition were on the box to distinguish the card from the Asus Extreme N7800GT original edition.
