eVGA 8800GT KO 512MB Review

Shripad

eVGA 8800GT KO 512MB
This particular card was imported from USA. But similar offerings are available in India.
8800GT is a die shrink of Geforce 8800 series. This is the new 65nm version of the 8800 series. So whats changed?
This card comes with 112 steam processors which is more than 8800GTS. And this card gets VP2 video processing unit that was previously found only in 8600/8400 series.
The memory bus is now 256bit which is inferior to the 8800GTS 320bit interface.

The clock speed on NVIDIA reference card is 600Mhz core and 1800Mhz Memory.
But this eVGA 8800GT KO comes factory overclocked to 675Mhz core, 1950Mhz memory and shader clock is also up to 1688Mhz

Exellent Review MastKalandar-Bandar.

Been waiting fr ages for you to get some time off- and look how wonderfully it has paid off.

I am sure you are having loads of fun again.

On a sidenote:-
I won't be comparing the new ATIs to the 8800GT.

Call it lack in performance or whatever, they are t0 be priced much lower i think and taking the pricing into account- they are competing againts the lower Nvidia cards which makes them way too vfm to be ignored.

ATI still has to get a true Top range performer card out.

If 3870 = 3800XT and 3850= 3800pro, they need something like a 3890 at the least to compete with the 8800GT.

But i am not complaining- look at te prices.

The 8800GT rekindles the true firepower a midrange card should have.

(the old formula- a new gen midrange = almost last gen High end).

But at the price the new ATIs will be coming in at, there is some newfound hope for those, on an even lower budget, who were being taken for a ride by having to settle for cards like 8600GT and the likes.
