8800GT(G92) Reviews !!

**Origin_Unknown** · 10-24-2007, 11:50 AM

guess its just a matter of opinion

i'm mostly basing that cooler on my own experience with the hr-03-plus

**GoldenTiger** · 10-24-2007, 11:52 AM

So someone recommend a better dual-slot-incl.-card cooler that will exhaust air out the case? I can't find one.

**astrallite** · 10-24-2007, 11:54 AM

Quick Atal, still time to edit your post, lol.

He has thermalright products, not thermaltake!

And I liked Thermaltakes old school CPU coolers, back when the 60mm "screamer" delta was a popular choice for CPU fans, they had those weird air duct-to-80mm cpu fans with adjustable fan speed.

I for one am happy for a single slot solution. I only have 3 PCI ports below the PCI-E one and the dual slot cooler ends up covering two of them.

Even though I have my sound card at the most bottom PCI port, the cooler-heatsink is like 1/2 an inch from my soundcard and it's ridiculously hot and I smell a slight burning tinge, lol. Can't wait to return my 320mb Fata1lty 8800GTS and pick up an 8800GT with single slot cooler, plenty of space for my PCI cards to breathe =)

That's one of the reasons I bought a Gigabyte P35 DS4, could even have a 4 slot cooling solution for my gfx card and still have the 2 PCI slots free that I'm using for the sound card and controller card.

That won't run SLI, though

Who said I will ever use SLI either so it doesn't matter really.

I had much rather seen a 2 slot solution. If I wasn't gonna sell this GTO to one of my friends I would take the GF7 GTO/GTX cooling off the card and stick it onto the 8800GT.

Would prolly beat the hell out of that cooler, at least if noise is a factor to take into account as this cooler is not making any noise I can hear at least.

I want one pair of those,very good performance and price.

So, not everyone runs a single-card, either :p .

I'd like a 2-slot default solution too... instead of having to buy one myself

thermaltake /= thermalright.

NEVER, AND EVER.

I'm really happy with the fact that the 8800GT will be compatible with current VGA coolers. I might get a HR03 or zalman for it.

**Atal** · 10-24-2007, 01:01 PM

**~~GoThr3k~~** · 10-24-2007, 01:22 PM

AMD could throw in a nice little price war if they want to

But isn't that a R600 card, then it's not too interesting.

heh, "azerty.nl" got already prices listed for 8800GT, pre-order just 225 euro

, even cheaper then a 2900pro:X

**Atal** · 10-24-2007, 02:24 PM

50,000 is that all?

i think they will run short.

When it comes to 256MB part, it will mostly depend on the number of available G92_200 series. In all reality, this is a mainstream G96 part, G92_300 is the real G92 and that is a high-end part with yes, 384-bit memory controller... or 768-bit, given by the amount of memory on prototype boards.

?

**GoldenTiger** · 10-24-2007, 02:26 PM

OH MY GOD!!! I got a call from OnSale regarding the billing info on my order, once I finished up they said it is scheduled to ship out TONIGHT and since I have overnight shipping I should receive it tomorrow

. 2x 8800GT's coming my way it seems!

This cards looks more and more exciting.

But I bet it's gonna cost like 250 EUR in Finland.

Would order from Germany but it's not worth it when buying only one piece of hardware and shipping cost adds it up....

**JoeBar** · 10-24-2007, 02:27 PM

Its time for my 8800GTS 320MB to give its place for a 8800GT on my 2nd gaming rig...

**Atal** · 10-24-2007, 02:29 PM

wow Golden that must be an awsome feeling!!tell us how it comes up, btw what board are u gonna be using????

I dunno, i wouldn't get my hopes. Most likely someone didn't realize that the cards you ordered haven't even been released. Sales didn't even have a clue when they'd get them in, when i called. but i placed an order for one anyway.

but then again, i'm just a pessimist

**CERO** · 10-24-2007, 02:40 PM

here in the Netherlands u can already pre-order the 8800GT for just 225 euro, cheaper then the 2900pro even, as compared to the 8800GTS 320 ( 240-250) and the 8800GTS 640(310-350) it is dirt cheap, slappin 2 of them is rlly the way to go, but then u need a nforce board, whats up with the i780when will it come?

**GoldenTiger** · 10-24-2007, 02:50 PM

Darn, guess they were wrong, because my online order status at least says "Back ordered" right now

. I might call to confirm which it is. I'll be running 'em on an EVGA NF68-A1 680i SLI board.

EDIT: Yep, not in-stock yet, shipping "by the end of the week or early next week".
