(G92)8800GT First review!

First of all, let's see the HD playback test.

Now the 3dmark06 test.

for more test(heatsink, power consumption,futuremark,different game demo loops,OC of 8800GT) pls visit our orginal post:

(sorry FF users, the site only supports ie. the pending upgrade of our site will begin this week)

That kind of performance for $249... wow.

**zerazax** · 10-23-2007, 01:18 AM

Just imagine what the $500 video cards will be like then

This means the new GTS is supposed to be GTX level, but what about the new GTX and on?

Can't wait to see what RV670 has in store, since its supposed to be better than the HD2900XT in raw benchmarks at least, which would put it around the 8800GT also

Also, we need to see real game benches since 3dMark06 only means so much (like the 2900XT)

They bench in games too zerazax, the performance is pretty close to GTX levels, even with AA.

Beats the R600 almost all the way down the line.

If the RV670 hasn't fixed the AA issue, then ati may be in a pickle. This would be a shame, because ATi/AMD really need a win now more than ever.

Holy crap dewd ! that thing is pretty sweet.

but please notice that 8800GT wont support DX10.1, and it is 65nm
many ppl think it is a weakpoint

**[XC]Atomicpineapple** · 10-23-2007, 01:35 AM

8800GTS FS ne1 :P. Awesome price/performance there. Overclocking looks good too, a 140MHz Core OC on single slot stock cooler. Cant wait for official reviews of RV670 to see which ones the better deal.

**verndewd** · 10-23-2007, 01:39 AM

without dx10.1 support that card has a short lifespan. But it will live for a long time with slow upgraders. Great numbers for the price.

**Yakyb** · 10-23-2007, 01:39 AM

very nice only problem is i want to dual card this thing but dont want to buy a 680i so looks like ill wait on ATI next offering

**K404** · 10-23-2007, 01:39 AM

Ooooh the high-end will be juicy, if thats the new mid-range!

**fireice2** · 10-23-2007, 01:41 AM

DX 10.0 isn't even fully utilized yet. :P Why worry so much about DX10.1. Just m y 2 cents.

**Frodin** · 10-23-2007, 01:42 AM

Ach, seems like that server is getting pounded

Does not load for me.

65nm vs 55nm is a moot point. The 8800GTX is 90nm and the HD2900XT 1GB (it's competitor) is 80nm. Size isn't always everything.

As for DX10.1, this could be a factor, much like it was with the X800's vs the 6800's. The reason I say "could" is because DX10.1 doesn't do much in terms of visuals, while DX9C did bring improvement(FP based HDR anyone?).

Like I said, I really hope AMD/ATi have fixed their AA issues here. They could really use a win here.

Not as short as one would think. DX10.1 is more-so updates for developers than consumers. If you look over the updates, you'll see what I mean. There's not really any changes what-so-ever that directly effect the customer themself, or the quality of the image. It merely just gives the developer more control over the card directly via the api, and adds better support for multiple gpus.

**verndewd** · 10-23-2007, 01:59 AM

Well as far as I have read dx10.1 will be so much different it requires a new design for the card hence the 10.1 support on ATI cards (expected). that is no mere software update, but to support your point there will be backward compatibility to 10 , and in the end, a pain in the end

I guess that benefit crossfire system a bit, question is how that would translate into games.

**verndewd** · 10-23-2007, 02:04 AM

Another step forward I would imagine. no benches nothing to report.

**G80** · 10-23-2007, 02:05 AM

That sort of performance with a single slot cooler is impressive to say atleast. Imagine a waterblock on there and its the card of the year.

**RPGWiZaRD** · 10-23-2007, 02:07 AM

I was expecting it to be pretty much in the middle between 8800GTX and GTS performance but that it would be this close to GTX performance even with AA and AF set to high was a bit better than expected. Looking good, many thanks for this review.

The spectical people can throw their 8800GT to be slower than GTS idea into the sea now. And better yet, we don't know much about overclockability yet.

**verndewd** · 10-23-2007, 02:08 AM

lmao what a slap in the face to GTX owners for that price lmao.

lol ahhhh sadly id be among them If cash was like more of a plentiful substance. And id be a bit miffed.

**G80** · 10-23-2007, 02:14 AM

Not really since the GTX has been around for almost a year now. And for those who have one, its still in the lead in performance.

Spot on

**fireice2** · 10-23-2007, 02:19 AM

Its a slap on the face to those who just bought a shiny new GTX. :P

But not for those who have been enjoying the 8800GTX for almost a year.

**verndewd** · 10-23-2007, 02:19 AM

so 500-600 dollars buys a year of barely ahead of 65nm?@ $250 ish I am soo glad I have waited. GTX resale values just plummeted hard.

Um, in case you haven't noticed, computer prices drop fast and hard. The GTX lasting this long is not the norm at all.

Imagine the quad core's coming in at $1000 and now being priced at $266. And that's within half a year. The GTX going a year at that price range and performance is unheard of, considering that the 7 series had the 7900 refresh and 7950's as well.
