| First Review of Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX Hits The Net |
| Saturday, 04 November 2006 05:31 |
 Daily Tech jump the gun with the first review of the new Geforce lineup from Nvidia. Based on the G80 GPU and sporting 768MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 900MHz, results show the Geforce 8800GTX blowing away the competition in all benchmarks. Using a Intel Core 2 Extreme processor and Nvidia nForce 650i motherboard, the Geforce 8800 GTX managed a respectable 11200 score in 3dMark 2006 - impressive when you consider the Ati X1950 XTX only managed 7020 in the same system. Results in most games show almost twice the performance over current graphics cards. The card takes up two expansion slots and requires two PCI Express power connectors. Suprisingly, the card has two SLI bridge connectors to allow a three-card system. With two cards running in SLI requiring a minimum of 850w power supply, the feasability of three cards is questionable. However, the soon to be released 680i chipset and motherboard from Nvidia boasts three PCI-Express sockets and this could well be used for the worlds first triple powered system. Insane? We think so. Daily Tech recommend a 450-watt power supply but if you are planning on SLI or want to future proof your system to some degree, we recommend a minimum of 600w if you plan to go down the 8800 route.
