Product Description

GeForce 8800GT Product Highlight
The 8800 GT delivers award-winning color clarity with true high definition video. Featuring a unique thermal fansink design that enables XFX to punch up the core clock from the industry standard 625 MHz to 640MHZ, the 8800 GT 512 MB card also stays up to eight degrees cooler in 3-D applications. It also features enhanced fan speed and improved airflow.

 

Playing Video Games
The latest and greatest games available today usually designed to work on the latest and greatest graphics cards. The XFX 8800GT gives your games ultra-realistic 3D characters and environments as well as smooth performance and game play so that the newest games are played the way it's meant to be played. This XFX 8800GT is also loaded with 512MB of GDDR3 memory and the newest generation of 8 Series GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) from NVIDIA to ensure that you'll have compatibility with the most current games and plenty of power to handle numerous games to come.

Watching Movies
Just getting a HD player isn't enough to get HD quality, you'll need a card like the XFX 8800Gt which can process that level of video quality as well. The XFX 8800GT is HDCP ready which means you'll be able to enjoy viewing the latest HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc, or HD Web-TV Streams in super sharp High Definition clarity. The power of NVIDIA's PureVideo HD engine allows for true high-definition video playback, smooth stutter-free playback and multi-monitor support for professional quality video editing that will always look crisp, clear, smooth and vibrant!

Viewing Photos
With higher resolutions and picture quality, you'll be able to view more photos at the same time on the same screen while also enjoying sharper vibrant images that are as true to life as the real thing.

Improved Performance
Most people aren't aware of it but XFX video cards not only give you the graphics power you need to play the latest video games but it carries numerous benefits over the graphics capabilities that usually come standard on most new computers. Having a seperate video card such as XFX video cards also seperates the graphics processing from general computer functions processing. This means it takes a huge load off your AMD or Intel CPU allowing it to do it's job better expecially for non-graphic intensive programs like office applications. It's like adding a expert to your computer that specializes in anything graphic and video related and you can depend on it to always do the job better than anything else.

Bonus Game Included!
A great gaming graphics card can only be complimented by the newly released game, Company of Heroes, on a full version DVD-ROM. This game features intense graphics, fast paced action and spectacular realism that truely captures this authentic World War 2 story line.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Graphics Card!, March 24, 2008
By P. McGuire (USA, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First things first: This is the XFX Alpha Dog edition. The PVT it gives says it is the stock XFX but the one I got in the mail was the Alpha Dog.

I have a Dell Inspiron 530 computer with the Q6600 and the 8600GT graphics. I bought this as an "upgrade." First things first, I had to upgrade my power supply from the stock 350watts to a 500watt PSU. This graphics card has a power supply plug on the end of it. The card is INCREDIBLY LONG ... So much so you better make sure you have space for it if you have a small box. For the Dell Inspiron 530 - had to take out a hard drive to get it in the case.

Now for the actual review. I'm an Eve-Online player. I went from 170FPS (8600GT) to 410 FPS (8800GT) in station with Eve Classic. I went from low 50 FPS (8600GT) to 210 FPS (8800GT) with Eve Premium. Yeah, there is a HUGE difference... The graphics are so much better than the 8600GT as well.

The downsides (reason for 4 stars): This card runs INCREDIBLY hot - so hot I can't even touch it for a second. The card is upside down in my case so it blows hot air to the bottom and just recirculates it. I had to install a case fan and leave a PCI slot open to blow the hot air out. I HAVE NOT had the card freeze but if you don't have good case ventilation that might be an issue for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast but noisy - I hadto return it, May 18, 2008
By Tomleaf (San Francisco, California United States) - See all my reviews
So to start off, the Nvidia 8800GT as of May 08 is THE chip to get for performance at this price range. I was able to play Call of Duty 4 with this thing on my Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz + 4GB ram without any problems or any lag at 1600 x 1200 with all eye candy turned on. Thats all I needed it to do. It did falter a bit with Crysis, but I was not surprised by that.

Now for the bad. This XFX 8800GT is loud.

I had been staying away from XFX cards for the last 2 years because my last XFX card gave a high pitched squeal that caused me to go out and buy an after market cooling solution. I tried my luck this time because the price was right and the minute I hit the power button and the fan spun to what was obviously 100% and stayed there, I knew I had the same problem.

Probably not an issue for some people but my computer is mostly silent except for this card. I will have to send it back to Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars great graphics card, February 7, 2008
I am amazed with how well this thing works. I just built my first computer and this was my graphics card. This thing along with 4G ram at 800mhz can run Crysis on very high with no lag at all. I couldn't believe how well it ran the game and how amazing it looked. It is much cheaper than the GTS or GTX and can run Crysis on very high, so why not buy the GT. Save $100-400 and go with the GT. Couldn't be happier.
