XFX 8800GTS 512MB Alpha Dog Edition Comment Thread

[SKYMTL]

The review is up and the card is definately a good one!! It is priced lower than we thought it might be and it is sure to be a massively popular product.

We have a review of the XFX Alpha Dog Edition of the G92-based 8800GTS 512MB.

I like that they're reasonably cool...and the temps on the HR-03 are amazing! OC heaven!

Awesome review!

inice review SKYMTL as usual :) that is a nice card but like you stated and zI am wondering why they stayed with the 256bit. if I where having to chose between the cards in the review I think that i would stay with the GT and just use an after market cooler but then again the xfx with an after market cooler seem to run allot cooler then the rest

[SKYMTL]

Well, it is actually quite simple why they stayed with a 256-bit wide bus: they didn't NEED to release anything higher because they are only competing against themselves at this point.

Great review on this card.
So is this card out even, I have looked at NCIX and not seen it, and at Memory Express in Calgary, OTV here in Saskatoon. Not that I need one, since i have the BFG 8800GT 512MB OC. hmm maybe I do.

I am liking the look of these new nVidia cards… they sure seem to be going in the right direction. I think I will wait until the new GTX comes out and then step up….

There is a post on the NCIX forums which shows that there are quite a few cards in stock: NCIX FORUMS - NEW! - NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS 512MB Vide...

thanks SKYMTL, I missed that. So here is another question, should I step up with the BFG 8800GTS 512MB or go XFX.

[SKYMTL]

I happen to like the XFX modder-friendly warranty and it comes with TWO games from NCIX. All in all, I think that is your best choice for now since EVGA still doesn't semm to have answered the RMA issues from Canada.

Great review SKY as always. I said it before, I just can't see the justification in the price per performance when compared to the GT. An extra $100 for a small improvement, even at higher resolutions. This card needed the higher memory bus to justify the price IMO. Glad I went with the GT.
