XFX 8800GS 384MB performance?

I'll find out this evening. That card should be sitting at my front door right now. Thanks Newegg! LOL

I'll throw it in and see how it stacks up next to my 8800GT.

Here's a better review from Techpowerup, but unfortunately they used everything except the 8800GT 256MB card. Also an EVGA card is used rather than an XFX, performance should be similar though ....

Is it just me or do those numbers look really high across the board on the Crysis review. My set up is almost identical to the test set up with the exception of RAM speed. There is no way I get 35fps at 1600x1200 with any AA or AF.
 
thanks for the info, looks pretty interesting. HydroBudz please share your report here :D
 
Well, I got the card, it looks cool inside the box, but I've decided not to open it up. I'd like to sell it and a BNIB card will sell faster than a "I only opened it to test it, overclock it till it smoked and stuck it back in the box" card.

Besides, from every review I've seen it performs under a 8800GT, over an 8600GTS and around the same as a single 3870. Looks like they are bios limited to 680 core clock, and my card comes stock at 680 according to the box, so there's really no point in testing it right now.
 
ok got it today, will run a few benchmarks maybe tomorrow
so far the first thing i've noticed is the loudness of the HS/Fan :rolleyes:
...which keeps it under 60c at load :cool:
 
The reviews dont look too bad, if your on a shoe-string- budget... but anything is better than the FX5200 im running now :eek:

LOL... i could imagine... i used to have one of those, i could barely run bf2 on low with 2 gigs of ram.


but yeah, thats a good question... i've been wanting to know just where in the food chain that the 8800gs stacked up and by how much(or little)

While I never opened mine to test it, it's pretty simple where the 8800GS stands. Right between the 8800GT and the 8600GTS. Slightly slower than the GT, slightly faster than the GTS.

GS is a spot filler that won't be around for very long. It's a cheap card to fill the demand from makers like Dell and Gateway. Something they can slap in their machines, cheaply, and get the job done too.
