EVGA 8800GTS 640MB (w/112SPs) SSC Edition Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig     |     November 6, 2007

Power Consumption

Please note that these figures below are indicating power consumption for the WHOLE SYSTEM and not only for the graphics cards.


The power consumption of this card seems to be right in line with a normal overclocked 8800GTS 640MB card. That means it consumes quite a bit of power compared to some of its competitors. Fortunately, nothing here can touch the HD2900XT in terms of power usage.


Overclocking

Due to the time constraints of this review, I have not yet found a stable overclock that I am happy with. As it stands right now, the highest I have had this card is 670Mhz on the core and 1970Mhz (DDR) on the memory but it would not complete the 3DMark06 Deep Freeze test though it would play CoH without a problem. Stay tuned to the Question, Comment and Update Thread for more details about whichever stable overclock I end up reaching.
