Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Redefine your gaming reality with NVIDIA SLI-Ready GeForce 8800 graphics processing units (GPUs). The world's first DX10 GPUs feature a powerful unified architecture that delivers an incredibly true-to-life gaming experience. Power through games at record speeds. Charge through game maps with vividly realistic, sun-up to sun-down HDR lighting effects while steering clear of mind-blowing physics effects such as explosions, fire, and smoke. Crank up 16x full-screen anti-aliasing without missing a beat – no jaggies, no worries. And when you're not dominating your competition, relax to your favorite movies with NVIDIA PureVideo technology.

New features introduced on the NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series include a fully unified shader core, which dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations. The cards' unified stream processors efficiently process geometry shader programs, while reducing dependence on the CPU. Moreover, Shader Model 4.0 support enables more complex operations on the GPU, reducing the load and CPU cycles that can be applied to game A.I. (artificial intelligence) complexity. As with previous models, PNY's new XLR8 graphics cards support NVIDIA SLI technology for up to 2x the performance of a single graphics card.

NVIDIA's GigaThread technology supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs. Stream out allows programmers to add more detail without having to re-render the entire pipeline. Geometry Shaders permits geometry creation and tessellation, which smoothes curved surfaces and enables more lifelike character animation, including realistic facial expressions and hair.

The GeForce 8800 GTS by PNY Technologies features 640 MB of high-speed GDDR3 frame buffer memory and a 500 MHz core clock. Outputs include DVI + DVI + HDTV/S-Video.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very fast card, March 28, 2007
By B. Dowling (Malibu, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This card has unbelievable performance in games, second only to the 8800 GTX version. You can run all modern games with all the settings up to maximum. The only one I found that this was not the case was Flight Simulator X, but apparently there is no system in existence that can run that program with the settings set all the way up.

Also, Amazon has been awesome for ordering computer parts lately. I'm starting to prefer them over Newegg.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome DX10 graphics card!, March 26, 2007
By Scott Whyte (Troy, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I actually own this same card made by XFX rather than PNY, but I was so impressed by the card I wanted to post a helpful review for others!

I have thrown every game I own at it and it has produced stunning frame rates with great video quality. My favorites like Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 2 and Quake 4 ran very smoothly on max settings. Even demos of Company of Heros and Supreme Commander had no problems at high settings. Just tried out S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadows of Chernobyl on high settings with no problems and silky smooth frame rates.

My system is based on an Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 with 2 gigs of memory and a Creative Xi-Fi card so any in game slowdowns would probably be caused by the CPU not the memory card. For instance Rise of Nations: Rise of Legeneds had a frame rate of around 35 FPS, but I believe that game is just very CPU intensive or poorly written so it doesn't get max. performance on any system at maxed graphical settings.

I have not tried dual-monitor or video out functions. If you need feedback on those items, check another review
