XFX GeForce 8800 GTX and eVGA 8800 GTS GPU's

Post by Apoptosis »

NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800 GTX and 8800GTS GPU's are the industry's first fully unified architecture-based DirectX 10 compatible GPU's. The GeForce 8800GTX GPU consists of 128 individual stream processors clocked at 1.2GHz, which means awesome gaming performance. If you are wondering how these new GPU's stack up against the rest read on as we compare them to more than a dozen GPU's.

The 8800 GTX simply walks away from every card on the market in almost every single test. What’s even more impressive is just how much a single 8800 GTX kicks the crap out of the older 7900 GTX SLI and 7950GX2 in Tomb Raider: Legend using Next Generation Content!

Looks nice, but I won't upgrade until I install vista etc to go along with it. Good review.

The GTS is the same size as the 7900 GTX and X1950XTX. :)

I can just see someone put two of these in their system and when they turn the computer on the lights dim in their house. :-)

why couldn't legit use a system like [H]'s to test the 8800GTX?
Our system consists of an eVGA 680i SLI motherboard, an Intel X6800, Corsair DDR3-PC9600 running at its rated 1200MHz, two 150GB Western Digital Raptor hard drives, one Maxtor 40GB hard drive, one Koolance Exos water cooling system, and of course the video card noted
mmm... DDR3....

Where you see DDR3 memory was used? Corsair doesn't have DDR3 memory in production. I'm running 9136 memory that was launched today... Full article on my SLI system is coming up soon.

I know there is no system DDR3 memory, I was making a joke at [H]'s typo. Other than the typo, you guys are basically runnin the same rigs.
