THG take a further look at the performance of two overclocked versions of Nvidia's high-end, DX10 processor in the EVGA 8800GTX KO and the Foxconn 8800GTS. Here's a taster:

The EVGA GeForce 8800GTX KO and Foxconn GeForce 8800GTX overclocking version cards performed flawlessly under the test suite. Both bring more performance with the guarantee the manufacturer will cover them while operating at or under their factory overclocked speeds.

Foxconn provides a three-year warranty from the date of purchase. EVGA goes even further by providing a lifetime warranty as well as an advanced RMA (return merchandise authorization) program. This program gives registered customers the guarantee that EVGA "will repair or replace the defective parts free of charge (no refunds)." People who register their card within 30 days of purchase can assign an account to charge. EVGA will then charge the account for the product and reverse it when the RMA card is received. This "cross shipment" allows the consumer to get a replacement card right away. All the customer will pay is the shipping charge to return the bad product to EVGA. In the advent of a new card launch, EVGA also allows customers to upgrade their cards within 90 days of purchase for the difference in price between the old and new card.
