To say that the EN8800GTX/HTDP/768M graphic card from ASUS is designed for the avid gamer is a dreadful understatement. This powerful graphic card brings a new power to the gaming environment, with unified rendering, better shading, and majorly improved memory allocation. At a clock speed of 1.8 GHz on the built-in 768 MB RAM, the card is faster than most of the conventional cards available; HDCP compliant, it lets you see encrypted contents on HD DVD, Blu-Ray Discs and get a full high-definition viewing experience. It fully supports Microsoft DirectX10.0 for stunning and complex special effects, which will unfold soon with a whole new revolution in game design. Further, the PCI Express x16 helps crank your processing speed to unheard of levels.
This card has a unified GDDR3 architecture letting the card plow right through memory intensive graphic applications. Its DVI to VGA adapter provides a sharper and clearer picture (up to 2560x1600) on compatible display units. The ASUS Game LiveShow feature of this card allows a user to stream live games over the internet. They can even record live gaming action in MPEG4 format and share the recorded action with friends and other gaming enthusiasts. Moreover, this graphic card offers ASUS Video Security Online feature that allows a user to keep an eye on their home from virtually anywhere. A great graphics card for your personal powerhouse!

best Nvidia effort to date
- Pros: Fast!! a single card with my c2d @ 3.6ghz hits 12k on 3dmark06. Game performance is exceptional. this card chews up and spits out FEAR, Oblivion, and anything I toss at it, at 1920x1200 with AA and AF on even. Faster than my 1900s in CrossFire.
Great IQ!! Nvidia has reworked it's IQ features and now has better AA and AF modes giving them the best IQ I have seen to date for any card.
Silent Operation!! this card with the fan @ 100% runs very quietly.
- Cons: Price!! good things like this come with a price tag, unfortunately. but I still think this card is worth it to me.
Runs Hot!! this is one hot running card, but I installed a pci slot blower directly above/below the back heat vents on the heat sink and that dropped the temps by 5c. I also run the fan @ 100% while gaming which (in combination with the blower) makes my card peak at about 65c with the gpu OC'd to 610mhz... before with the fan on auto and no blower the card was hitting 87c!! wow.
Large!! it's a biggun, 12" long and 2-slots high, so plan for that if you have your eyes on one of these baddies.
Needs ample power!! make sure you have at least a 500W psu with 32a for one 8800GTX, or 750 with 40a total for SLI'd GTXs.
- Other Thoughts: Yes, I listed more cons than pros, but I am still giving this card 5 stars, because it's an amazing performing card, and I am totally fine with the "cons" listed there.. anyone considering a high performance part like this one also better be ready to deal with those and not complain too much.. it comes with the territory. This is the best effort from Nvidia to date and the best performing gaming card out there now imo.
Great card
- Pros: I upgraded from SLI GeForce 7800GTs to 1 8800... my frame rates doubled, and in some cases tripled. It feels like a I just bought a whole new PC. I'm shocked at how much faster everything runs. It was well worth the price.
- Cons: Price... but what do you expect... it is brand new technology.
- Other Thoughts: It is large and heavy. It is about the size/weight of my old 7800s put on top of each other. I have a DFI m/b and a nobody case from Best Buy and it fits fine, a little snug, but fine.

third one
- Pros: First one awesome, secod one well it was dead. Thanks Newegg for the easy rma. Third one perfect. SLI runs smoother than expected. Loving it.
- Cons: None at all.
- Other Thoughts: Would buy another for tri when wallet will allow. Loving it.
Waste of many!!!
- Pros: Can't find any
- Cons: NO drivers for Vista, almost every game crashes!!! I've been trying to fix this for a almost a year, but nothing works!!!
Best bang for buck
- Pros: Far better deal at 768mb than all the nuetered G89's for high res, high eye candy gaming. Also a far better deal than all the overclocked 8800GTX models. I have always had nothing but great luck with Asus in motherboards and video cards for quite a few years now. Maybe I have just been lucky but this card rocks. Out of the box this card runs overclocked at 630 gpu, 2000 DDR and 1503 on shaders. Theres still some to be had on shaders and memory and probably more on GPU with better cooling. It survives all the Crysis benchmarks, w/o lockup, at these speeds.
- Cons: Nothing other than Nvidia is not going to build them anymore. Get one while you can or wait until summer for a real "new" GPU from Nvidia. The 89's are a waste for the mainstream masses.
