Default NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB Review

The NVIDIA G92 GPU is creating quite furore. First, it gave us the incredible GeForce 8800 GT graphics card which redefined affordable PC gaming. And now, the G92 GPU gives us the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB graphics card.

Many gamers are now wondering whether they should get the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB or the GeForce 8800 GT. Will this graphics card offer the same great price-performance value of the GeForce 8800 GT? We will answer those questions in our review of the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB.

Here's a quote from the review :-
Quote:
"We were most impressed with the performance and affordability of the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB that we feel it deserves nothing less than an Editor's Choice Award. We hope this will encourage NVIDIA to offer more graphics cards of such caliber and value."

Nice looking card amazing though how the 8800GT hangs close during most of the testing. The Accelero S1 cooler now supports the 8800GT be interesting to see how it performs with that

I actually think it looks like an ugly duckling. Definitely not as sleek as the GeForce 8800 GT. But it's a great card to buy.

Incidentally, the high availability of the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB compared to the GeForce 8800 GT goes to show just how good the yield of the G92 GPU is.

Hehe.. The standard cooler is not too bad though. It allowed quite a bit of overclocking for those who don't want to invest in a new cooler.

Oh, I haven't heard from you in a while. I thought you were busy installing it!
