8800GT out today.....

Featured Replies

Thanks for the info.I come home on weekends, so if I can find a store in the US that sells them I can pick it up and bring it home to avoid the shipping cost.Does anybody know what the difference between the superclocked, SCC, and KO models are? I see clock speeds are different, but anything else?Thanks,C.

I was going to order one today at NewEgg, but it seems that "overclocked" varieties aren't out yet. So I checked "Auto-Notify" for when they become available. They seem to have 2 brands available now but both are at the 600MHz Core Clock speed. One is $279, and the other is $269. I want the 700MHz EVGA version...but it is not available yet. I think it's worth the wait. Overclocking this card by 100MHz will be significant, and according to Tom's Hardware, an even more modest overclock has this card performing better than the 8800 GTX.

>Overclocking this card by 100MHz will be significantFor every other game BUT FSX it will. If it's just FSX you are optimising for, it isn't worth the wait for OC varieties.Gary

You guys know that Vcard GPUs can be O/C'd just like your 'puter's CPU, right? GPUs are bin-sorted, just like CPUs. The very best get factory O/C'd (CPUs get a higher multiplier . . . and price tag) and the less-perfect go at a standard clock. However, (like CPUs) it's very likely these bin-sort variations are Very minor. That means (just like an E4400 vs a X6800) any G92 (8800GT) will O/C to within 10% of any other G92 (8800GT).Rivatuner is a popular GPU O/Cing tool, here:http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatunerAnd BTW, Nvida's pricing strategy is to have these 512mb 8800GT cards down to a $200 price point (or less) ASAP. The 256mb versions are to be at a $150 price point. Read the Anandtech article. They were dumbstruck. Meeee too. What a great time to be building a computer.

Nobody has so far found out whether DX10.1 will bring any benefits to FSX. If it does it might be worth the wait because the 8800GT still doesn't include the 10.1 features.

Pretty cool...but you're right. They don't have the GT yet. That will be interesting.Stan

Yes it looks like nVidia is trying to (finally...) saturate the market with DX10 graphics cards by offering the 8800GT at a mid-level price! It's about time. Seems like everything is in slo-mo ever since Vista/DX10/multi-core cpu's came on the scene.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

I have got the Inno3d 8800GT 512mb today, as soon as i get a chance to test in FS9 and FSX over the next few days, ill let you know how it goes. Its a very hot (as in gets very warm) card!IAn

I read where it's supposed to run "cooler" because of heat dissipation over the whole card. Well, I look forward to your review.Stan
