** The Official 8800GT 512/256mb Review/Overclocking Thread **

[vanandjuanunited]

I think you best edit the Thread title then as it says Review/Overclocking.

Thats right - all reviews and oc'ing in this thread and everything else in the other.

He said stick to this thread for non reviews or overclocking, then a link to the thread, which means this aint for overclocking.

 

[JohnnyG]

No, it means stick to the thread I linked to for non reviews and overclocking, meaning non overclocking stuff too

EVGA 8800GT 512MB Superclocked Edition Review

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...8800gt-512mb-superclocked-edition-review.html

I cant see most of pics, can anyone see them all ?

 

[TheRealDeal]

It looks like the page has lots of pictures and giving out really slow download speed so leave it open for awhile till it downloads them all.

Do these card use 6 pin pci-e power connectors or 8 pin pci-e.

Some places seem to think the former, others the latter. Which is it?

NVIDIA really making ATi feel the burn.

"Nvidia seems to be offering a steal of a video card this morning. Its new GeForce 8800 GT will go for between $200 and $250"

Hahahahahha, come to the UK and try and get away with a statement like that chum. P.

6 pin

Definately making ATi feel the burn, and accordig to Anandtech, the new 3800's that are coming are slower than the 2900's, so they downgrades.

I found a review about the eVGA superclocked if anyone is interested. I hope no one posted it.

Good review and it gives good info on what kind of third party coolers may fit, which i will definitely invest in asap.

This part of that review was of interest to me, i quote:

Here we tried to install an HR-03 Plus onto the EVGA 8800GT, as you can see, the spacing between the mounting screws is not the same as the other 8800-series cards so it won’t fit. 8600GTS stock cooler installed perfectly on an 8800GT. The small dab of thermal compound I applied spread pretty evenly with the pressure applied with the stock 8600GTS heatsink. Therefore, I am reasonably sure that any cooler which is compatible with the 8600-series will also be compatible with the 8800GT. Just make sure not to use any 8600-series passive coolers since the G92 core on this card puts out a fair amount of heat.

I still can't get me head around how close it is to the GTX, and thats even with AA/AF, what i thought would kiil it due to the 256bit interface, but nope, its still only about 2 frames behind the GTX, im staggered, truly staggered, what a card, what a price, simply amazing.
