Comment and Update Thread for EVGA 8800GT Review

[Babrbarossa]

Nice review sky- I'm not sure I've ever seen you this giddy about a product. I am quite astonished by the performance- If I had a 320MB GTS, I would rush out and buy one, but having the 640MB, it's not quite worth the upgrade- I'll wait for the 9X

Well NCIX show only 1 in stock, and I know if I order it then I will be backordered, so going to wait until some stock comes in then it's mine.

Don't be a tease Can't wait to see what that card can do.

Looks like a great winner for Price\performance ratio!

Adding a 8800GTX\Ultra in the testing would of been cool so i could of compared just how much i got screwed buying 2 8800GTXs lol

[Supergrover]

Yup yup bang for buck they certainly look nice, it's been hard holding out since the ridiculous 8600gt/gts came out I was banking on them being a performer and just about ordered a 8800gts numerous times glad I didn't from the looks of things.

Going to evga this time instead of xfx. They sound like it's got some nice headroom,wheres those benchies SKY?
lol take your time.

Don't say that!!!! We want the benchies and we want them now!!!!! :)

Quite the scoop SKYMTL, and as always a great looking review!

[SKYMTL]

Ask and thy shall receive!!!!!!!

Please note that this is under Vista Ultimate x64 and with the Shader Clock at Default Superclocked Speeds. I am waiting for a program that works with Vista and this card to OC the shader clock. I am pretty confident that when that is done, I may be able to break 15,000.

This is for a SINGLE CARD.

Also note that I had to downgrade to the Advanced Edition of 3DMark for this because the Professional version has mysteriously stopped working.

NOOOO, you didnt have to do that. Now i feel really stupid buying a GTX 5 weeks ago.

[sswilson]

Pretty sweet!!!!!

Think I know what's going on my Christmas list..... the quad core can wait until my B'Day in april...... :)

Question.. how far did you push the card before you tested it? Was that maxed out or did it have more to go?

[sswilson]

20% improvement over already great benchies is pretty impressive for a "superclocked" card.

Looks like Nvidia has tossed down the gauntlet in a major way!

[SKYMTL]

Yup...these cards are amazing. This is the Golden Age right here!
