Sparkle 8800 GT 512Mb Review - High-End at Low-Price?

Videocards/VGA Reviews by geoffrey @ 2007-11-21

One year ago NVIDIA released the Geforce 8 series and took the performance crown, today we test the latest additions to the family, the 8800 GT is priced lower than the 8800 GTS 320mb, yet sports higher clockspeeds and more video memory. A candidate for best price/performance card and worth a place in your Christmas shopping list? We find out!

Synthetic benchmarks: Futuremark 3D Mark

In the 3D Mark 2001 benchmark the GPU clearly isn't being taxed that much, once we ran the more recent Futuremark benchmarks the difference between the 8800GTS and the 8800GT becomes visible. In 3D Mark 2003 the 8800GT performs 16% better then the original 8800GTS, and the gap opens even further in 3D Mark 2006 where the 8800GT is 22% faster then the 8800GTS. Yet again, 3D Mark 2005 seems to be less pleased with the new GT, only 12% extra performance here.

The overall 3D mark score is improved not only in SM2 benchmarks, newer render environments also get accelerated more with the 8800GT. An interesting fact is that the Fatal1ty 8800GTS performs very close to the 8800GT, sometimes even surpassing the latter. In-game results hopefully tell us more interesting facts, who 'plays' 3D Mark anyway ->

Good review, but change in the last page the price link to http://www.dollarshops.eu/product_in...oducts_id/1113

Due to the session in the link it doesn't work.
