Sparkle GeForce 8800 GTS (G92) Video Card Review

[RobRich]

Quote:

Today we are reviewing a NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB card from Sparkle. Some of you might remember that there also are 8800GTS cards with 320MB and 640 MB. And this is where the confusion starts. The 8800GTS 512 MB is using the newer G92 chipset while the 8800GTS 368MB and 640MB are using the older G80 core. The G92 core is much more efficient and has already proven itself on the 8800GT. In fact, it is the same GPU used in the new GeForce 9800GTX cards. This of course will just confuse buyers who might think that a 640Mb 8800GTS must be better than a 512 MB 8800GTS. It is extra unfortunate as the GeForce 8800GTS 512 MB turns out to be a GPU that offers a lot of bang for the buck.

hi,
i have a 8800GTS 512mb card and its awesome....even tho it is bottlenecked by my cpu and my mobo (only running at x4) im planning to "unleash the power" by getting a newer decent mobo and a q6600...its certinaly better than my old radeon x1550...
and its easier and safer to overclock...

unlike ATI the drivers for this card is easy and i have no problems installing it or random programes stopping it from working....


i paid £180 for mine and i think its a great price especially for the power it produces, and consumes...as i had to buy a 550W power supply for it...


i think im gona have this card for a very long time....i like it alot
