Reviews on eVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTX Graphics Card
GeForce 8800GTX excellent card and prices are...
Strengths: 1. Best graphics engine for games. 2. Good (not great video codec decoding). 3. Low CPU utilization.
Weakness: 1. Video codecs are handled better by other cards. 2. IT'S HOT! a water block helps. 3. It's a power hog.
This is an amazing graphics card. It handles complex video tasks freeing the CPU for other jobs. It handles graphics for games better than any other card at this time. It is very good at video codecs, but there are better. I added a water block because the thing is HOT. I got this card on sale for $475.00 so prices ARE falling. It is THE card for serious gamers.
Best card ever owned
Strengths: Eats DX9 games alive, performs like a champ! Very quiet. Great warranty
Weakness: Not a whole lot...Bottlenecked by the rest of my system. Power requirements
For a couple years I've had the sub-top-of-the-line video cards. I had 6800gt's in SLI when they came out and then I had 7800gt's in SLI when they came out. Obviously, this card blows away any experience I've had with the lower end cards in SLI. The only downfall, which I had forseen, was that this card would be bottlenecked by the rest of my system, which it definitely is, but only in limited...
8800 GTX - Great Card!
Strengths: Speed. This card is FAST. I can't wait until I can test the Full potential of this card. Also you can't go wrong with a lifetime warranty!
Weakness: Size, Price, and Power. This thing is huge (almost 11 inches long!) and is power hungry. Also the price tag is a bit steep.
I was a bit worried about fitting this card into my Coolmaster Mystique case, but it was a perfect fit. You also cannot go wrong with eVGA's lifetime warranty. Even if you choose to overclock (I know i will) you are still covered. Also, the free dark messiah was a bit of a bonus. I strongly suggest making sure you have enough power for this card. REMEMBER: This card is almost 11 inches long....
GeForce 8800 GTX Video Card 768 MB PCI Express x16...
Strengths: Impressive speed and and graphics on Direct X 9 games. Fastest Graphics card out at this date. I was unable to test Direct X 10 games at this time.
Weakness: Power hungrey. Uses 105 watts extra system power just by displaying the desktop image. In a game it used 125 extra watts of system power.
Prepare to crank up the AC in the summer because you system will run warm with the power requirements of this video card. They might of designed the graphics CPU to throttle down when graphics requirements are low. Besides that I can't wait to test the card with windows Vista when it comes out.
Big card, big heat, big performance.
Strengths: DX10, copious memory, incredible power.
Weakness: Size (10.5" length), requires TWO PCI-e power adapters, power consumption, drivers need work.
When I first got this card, it took me a while to physically install it (it's huge -- 10.5" long, it barely fit in an Ultra Aluminus case which is larger than most mid-tower cases), and it needs TWO PCI-E power connectors. Then getting the drivers right was a pain (with the 8800 series drivers, NVIDIA now forces you to use the new style of drivers and you don't have the option ofhte "Classic"...
GeForce 8800GTX...OMG!
Strengths: fast, Fast, FAST!
Weakness: Only that this card runs around 60*C when idle, and is blocking my chipset fan...which now runs a bit hotter than normal too...
All you ever wanted was your two front teeth...after playing Pure, Crisp games at 1600x1200, with video settings MAXED out, and still having games like F.E.A.R. run averages over 100fps! It almost brought tears in my eyes. There is nothing you can do to stop this Monster of a video card. And with EVGA’s great customer service and lifetime warranty...I know that I’m covered just in case...
This card rocks! Buy from eVGA because they are the...
Strengths: It's fast! Did I mention it's Fast?
Weakness: Price.
This is the top-of-the-line for video graphics. Unified architecture, gobs of RAM and a speed demon. One of these cards posts better benchmarks then TWO 7900's in SLI. Buy from eVGA - they have lifetime warranty (even if you overclock it) and always include tons of free software (Dark Messiah in this case).
Make sure you get a huge power supply
Strengths: Fast, top of the line, great visuals, DX10
Weakness: Price, size, power requirements
This is a great card that beats my SLI'd 7800 GTX's hands down, all by itself. Now the practical stuff: 1. Make sure you get an nVidia certified power supply for this monster. 28 amps continuous for one card! I tried a "recommended" 650 watt power supply, but it didn't have enough juice so my motherboard got fried. 2. Make sure you have a big enough case with great cooling. This card won't fit in...
Exceptional product, definitely a buy
Strengths: Blistering fast, excellent DX10 support, Quieter operation than expected, exceptional product warranty (EVGA), top of the line product
Weakness: Requires 2 PCI-e power connectors, must upgrade PS, can run hot, takes up 2 expansion slots
The EVGA 8800 GTX is the top of the line DX10 graphics card, and current champ as fastest card on the planet. The 8800 ultra is too expensive, and is unnecessary. However, this product can run you well into debt too, is costs a pretty penny. The EVGA warranty is exceptional, which allows you to really push this card without worrying. Their warranty covers (after speaking with tech support twice...

TopGeForce 8800 GTX review
The GeForce 8800 GTX brings a shift in GPU functionality and capability, moving away from the traditional pixel and vertex shaders we had got familiar with, to a collection of floating point processors also called Stream Processor Units (SPUs), this version uses 128 SPUs clocked at 1.35GHz. Then we have TAUs (Texture Address Units) of which the 8800 GTX features 32, along with 24 ROPs...

GeForce 8800 GTX - Review
Strengths: Has no problem playing any of the latest games at max settings. DX10, plenty of memory, and super fast!
Weakness: Cost, requires a lot of power, may need to upgrade power supply. The card is huge!
EVGA has a lifetime warranty, if you register the card with in the first 30 days they also cut the price of their premium RMA services, which is a nice plus, since you can get cross shipment, and pre-paid shipping services, at very reasonable cost. This card does cost a lot, but you are definitely getting what you paid for, not only a excellent product, but service to match. This card is huge, it...
