HotHardware takes a look at the Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M. Unlike a few other 320MB GTS cards, the Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M is not pre-overclocked from the factory. It does ship with a decent accessory bundle, however, that includes a couple of full version games. Asus also throws in a handful of proprietary applications and utilities in an attempt to further add value to their product. Here's a slice:

Asus bundles their EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M cards with a nice assortment of accessories and software. Included in the box along with the card itself, were an HD component output dongle, a dual-Molex to 6-Pin PCI Express power adapter, a user's manual, a leather Asus-embossed CD case, and a quintet of CDs. One disc contained the obligatory drivers, another a digital user's manual and some proprietary utilities (Splendid, Video Security, Game Liveshow, Game Replay, Game Face Messenger, and Game OSD). The remaining three discs were comprised of full versions of 3DMark06, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, and RACE the Official WTCC game.

The Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M performed on-par with a similarly clocked 320MB GeForce 8800 GTS reference card, but behind a pre-overclocked card from XFX. Overall, its performance was better than previous generation high-end GeForce 7 and Radeon X1950 cards, especially at resolutions of 1920x1200 and lower. At ultra high resolutions, the card's smallish 320MB frame buffer holds it back in some more demanding games, like Half Life 2: Episode 1 and F.E.A.R., for example.
