EVGA 8800GT 256MB Tested - [hardware]

Gamepyre take a look at the all new eVGA 8800GT 256MB Edition card. This card is priced at the same level as the ATI 3870 and is rumored to be thee card to have in the $200.00 price range as it has more features, less memory and more horsepower under the hood. Here's a bit:
Well the verdict is in folks and it seems the eVGA 8800GT will be a big player in the mid level market where cards cost in the $200.00 range. I believe this card will be priced right at $200.00 and that will be a good price point for this card. Games play very well at resolutions up to 1680X1050 and even though the card claims to run at resolutions of up to 2560X1600 via Dual-Link, games would be choppy and almost unplayable at a resolution that high. This is the main area that the 256MB card has limitations, but once again I have to state clearly that the people who have monitors to support those resolutions also have the money to buy a higher end card.

For a mid level gaming solution that only cost $200.00 it's hard to go wrong with the EVGA 256MB 8800GT. The card is competing head to head with ATI's HD 3870, a card that touts 512MB of DDR4 memory and almost triple the Stream processors so NVIDIA has done something right here. I was pretty impressed with how well this card performed in our standard bench and gaming tests as well as how cool it ran as well. There is nothing negative to say about this card in any way, the eVGA 256MB Edition 8800GT is a clear winner in the mid level arena. If availability of these cards becomes as widespread as NVIDIA predicts this is going to most likely be the hottest selling 3D card this holiday season. NVIDIA and eVGA did a spectacular job on the 256MB Edition, its fast enough for most users even in FPS type titles and runs cooler than many of the other cards in its class! This card is definitely a Gamers Gold product that deserves your recognition and your spending money.
