OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
XFX took the already superb 8800GT GPU and added a cooling system from Zalman to increase the cards efficiency while keeping it even quieter. They loaded 512MB of GDDR3 memory onto the card so you can easily handle today's games. Of course if that isn't enough juice you can add another card in SLI mode.

All that power drives the Lumenex engine for lightning fast anti-aliasing and HDR Lighting for stunning realism. The Quantum Effects Technology utilizes advanced shader processors to deliver an entirely new level of physics effects that are rendered on the GPU leaving the CPU free to run the game engine and the AI.

The built in PureVideo HD Technology was specifically designed to enhance your HD experience. Built in hardware decode acceleration of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies provides a theater-like experience. The HDCP compliant dual-link DVI ports allow you to play your HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs.

Decent

white Reviewed By: fedge on 5/23/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Looks to be better build than other brand with zalman cooler. The stock speeds easily went up to 700+ (i ran at 710 but backed off when there was no noticable gain) anything above 670mhz is really not much of a gain in performace. Video card stability test showed 502 fps stock and 529 @670/900 and 543 @700/950. Temps never have went above 66C (if the temp is reporting correctly). much more quiet than the rest of my case fans and I think a bit more than the 7600gt with zalman aftermarket fan that it replaced
Cons: Im not sure this is a con but memory has no heatsinks that i can tell.
Other Thoughts: I have not had any corruption in games as of yet but I have not had a long enough session to really break it in.

This card was a good buy when had the sale and the rebate May 16th weekend

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs everything I've thrown at it on high settings at 1280x1024. Including Oblivion, CS:Source, Crysis, Bioshock.
Fantastic card, only $140 after rebates. The Zalman Heatsink keeps it at 47°C idle.
Overall, it's a great card that I haven't looked back on once.
XFX's top notch warranty.
Cons: None.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: runs fast, eats up pretty much anything i throw at it, have 2 in sli, not 2 zalmans though only 1
Cons: runs hot, especially in sli. i have a xfx superclocked at 640mhz and this zalman at 600mhz, at idle i am at about 49C under load its about 55C-60C depending on the game, my room is pretty cool too never above 75F
Other Thoughts: overall a great card especialy if you have sli, runs hot but im going to liquid cool so not a big deal

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I purchased this card to run AOC on high settings, if not maxed. I usually get >25-30FPS with highest settings at 1600x1200. So far it has worked without any problems at all (except the game has its fair share of bugs/glitches that need to be worked out). The card seems to be built very well, the heat sink and fan setup by Zalman works awesome. Overclocking to 700/1000 runs as stable as factory presets and temps have never gone over 60C under load according to Nvidia's software. The card's fan is so quiet that it is overshadowed by everything else in the computer, whereas my old 7900gs was so loud I could barely hear games without headphones. I would highly recommend this card to anyone that wants a higher end card at a budget price.
Cons: None really. The only thing I can think of, is that it's very tempting to overclock this card since temps don't rise very much to squeeze those few extra frames out. Once again though, if you are even semi-conservative with the oc'ing there won't be any problems.
Other Thoughts: Setup: Intel E6600 CPU, 3GB DDR2 PC-5300, XFX 8800GT (my most prized piece now!), 320GB 7200RPM HD, etc.. As one can see it really doesn't take a beast of a computer to run AOC on the highest settings with this card.

Low price = nice card

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great price plus a rebate, transferable lifetime warranty, quiet cooler.
Cons: No RAM heatsinking, doesn't vent outside the case.
Other Thoughts: This was the best price for an 8800GT, before the rebate. Assuming that comes through (and I have no reason to doubt it), getting this much video card for so little cash is amazing. I'm coming from a 6800 NU AGP/Athlon 2500+ system, so being able to ramp all my games' settings up is nice.
However, I still wish the cooler vented heat outside the case, instead of recirculating it inside. I used an Antec 300, so the PSU sits down there, but I installed the side 120mm fan to help out.
Still, the GPU hasn't topped 60C after 2 hours of Halo 2 on high settings, so the cooling is working.
