OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
The GeForce 8 series offers a complete family of graphic cards ready to meet the unique needs of their users. The series features a unified DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 & Open GL 2.0 architecture for stunning 3-Dgraphics textures. With 10-bit per channel output, the 8 series produces higher fidelity color and separation. In addition, the cards support SLI and NVIDIA's PureVideo HD.

The 8800GT delivers blistering video and graphic performance. Its 754 million transistors can handle anything your games throw at it – and with reduced energy requirements. Accelerated processors offer faster video and other high-demand graphic effects. Its 112 stream processors are fed by 512MB of 256-bit GDDR3 SDRAM running at 1800MHz to deliver a full 2560 x 1600 resolution.

The 600MHz core clock keeps everything moving and the 400MHz RAMDAC and twin dual-linked DVI let you output to multiple and large monitors. Video can also be streamed via the HDTV or S-Video outputs for greater flexibility. The 8800GT hits the mark for price while delivering high-end graphic performance.

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: 3dmark06 score:11200 with E6400@3.2GHz. Runs all games at comfortable FPSs/resolutions. Best in 8800 line for blu-ray/HD DVD playback; HQV high def rating is 'Excellent' as compared to 'Good' of 8800GTX/GTS cards. True indeed: very clear beautiful high def picture. Quiet. With proper cooling, very overclocking-friendly.
Cons: Runs hot @ reference clocks. Must get aftermarket cooler like accelero S1.
Other Thoughts: I LOVE THIS CARD!!!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: One of the fastest cards on the market, and a decent price. You can buy a factory OC'd card for a few bucks more, but overclocking it is so easy, I suggest just getting the "normal" card and learning to do it yourself.

It takes a single slot on the mobo, unlike some other recent cards which require two.

I'm running it at stock speeds but will OC later. It's very easy to do this with a bios flash or registry editing. This card is VERY easy to OC.

With a 7900 GTKO, I was pulling 24-40 FPS in WoW, and 25-30 FPS in NWN2. Now, I am pulling 35-60 FPS in WoW - TBC (Ironforge) and 55-60 FPS in NWN2 - no stutters.
Cons: It's long - about 11.5", so make sure you have room to fit the card in your system.

Might need to replace the stock cooler if you're into heavy Ocing, as it seems a bit weak.
Other Thoughts: This is really a beautiful card, and my previous eVGA card is running smooth as silk (7900 GT KO). I put it in my girlfriend's Dell.

Main reason for upgrade was some new DX10 MMOs being released soon (AoC, WAR), and to get a bit of a performance "facelift" for Adobe CS3.

eVGA limited lifetime warranty sold me. Unless you put it in the microwave or solder something to the card, you can always turn it in (I exaggerate here slightly, but it's pretty durn close to that).

With step-up, you literally are given technology insurance if the next "latest and greatest" comes in 90 days within purchase. eVGA is a great company with great products - and they are pretty attentive on CS. This is literally free money - if you choose to use it. If not, no loss. Win-win situation.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: I bought this card around a year ago for $300 for my first computer build. This baby has never let me down. From COD4 to Crysis, this game can run EVERYTHING maxed out. Yes, including Crysis! I do not know why ppl cant also do this...every setting maxed out, with anti aliasing off.....very easy, and yet I get around 35fps. And, that is with Vanilla Crysis! B/c Vanilla Crysis will be the hardest to run game for another 2 years b/c of its (crappyy) use of resources, my 8800GT will also last another two years. Why get anything newer! There is no point! This card is all you need. Oh yeah...lol, if you like the graphic on your card, make sure to keep a handle on the heat. The picture of the beautiful gal on my card is now cracked in multiple areas...because of thermal expansion. That's what I get for letting it run at 82C for one year.
Cons: 0
Other Thoughts: This card represents the heyday of computers. The 8800GT, Core2Duo, DDR2 Ram, SATA....this technology will go down in history forever as being the first to bring the world into the era of true performance gaming and computing. When it is time for this card to retire I will hang it on my wall to remind me of all those wonderful years of gaming with it. Long live the 8800GT.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: At first when I got the card it was excellent. Ran Gears of War at around 60 fps on high settings. No problems what so ever untill now.
Cons: Recently after owning the card for about 5 months the card drastcally started running at a lower fps. I dont know what happened to it. Then I compared the results from when I first got the gpu on GPU-Z to the results of now. The fan speed automatically went to 30 % instead of 100%. I had to change the settings on Ntune back to 100%. I'm not sure what happened but I might send it back in for replacement.
Other Thoughts: When I got it the metal where the DVI ports are was bent.
