NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS 512MB - Officially Launched - [hardware]
07:44 PM EST - Dec,11 2007 - post a comment

Reviews of the new GeForce 8800GTS 512MB cards are popping up all over the internet today. Several companies have launched cards based on NVIDIA's new 65nm GPU so we ran around and gathered up as many reviews as we could find for your viewing pleasure:
HotHardware: It is little difficult to summarize the new GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB card's performance. In games or benchmarks where fillrate and shader performance are the limiting factors, these new cards are excellent performers and can outpace even a GeForce 8800 GTX. But in situations where memory bandwidth and frame buffer size are more important, like say at high resolutions with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB can't quite keep up with the more expensive GTX due to its narrower memory bus and smaller frame buffer. Generally speaking though, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB's performance is better than the original 640MB GTS and the relatively new 8800 GT and on-par with the GeForce 8800 GTX at lower resolutions. Crank up the resolutions, however, and the GTX (or Ultra) is still the king of the hill.

PCPerspective: Let's see...take an already impressive chip with the 8800 GT, add some more stream processors and up the clocks a bit...and it's no wonder that the new 8800 GTS 512MB card is a great performer. The 8800 GT cards definitely hit a sweet spot in the balance of price and performance (if you can find them that is) and the 8800 GTS based on that same G92 architecture is also a winner, just a slightly higher price point.  Obviously where the 8800 GTS 512MB has the most success is in areas where its 128 stream processors can work their magic. Numbering as many as the 8800 GTX and 8800 Ultra cards, but clocked higher, the SPs on the 8800 GTS give it the potential to perform better than the higher priced 8800 cards but only in such a perfect storm. The slightly lower fill-rate performance and the smaller memory bus (and of course just MORE memory) give the GTX and Ultra cards a bit more room than they would otherwise have though I would again have to claim that NVIDIA is screwing up their product stack. The 8800 GT surely put a spin on things when the G80-based 8800 GTS cards were around though now that they are gone, the new 8800 GTS 512MB more properly fits into the positioning NVIDIA N-visioned. Overall though, in our various game tests, the 8800 GTS 512MB was a screamer and was actually able to outperform the 8800 GTX in a couple of instances and remain close in a few more. The 8800 GT setup a high target for new products from NVIDIA and the 8800 GTS 512MB is able to meet it.
