THE REVIEWS on the GeForce 8800 GT are proving fairly spectacular with claims that it performs like a $400 graphics card but only costs $250.
The INQ's own findings were echoed by the likes of Techreport which has got its paws on one to test said that the only area where the GT is behind the more expensive 8800 GTS or the 2900 XT is in memory bandwidth. Even that is not necessarily a bad thing since games produce "richer" pixels that spend more time looping through shader programs and thus occupying on-chip storage like registers and caches.
In the tests the 8800GT kept up with the 8800 GTS 640MB in terms of average frame rates although it hit lower lows of around 10 FPS due to the smaller RAM.
It was actually the best card to play Team Fortress 2 and was right behind the GTS in BioShock.
Playing Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Direct X mode the more expensive GTS had a few problems while the GT sailed through. It is worthwhile noting that the Radeon HD 2900 XT, which lists for $399, didn't even get close. The testers also found Radeon was a lot noisier.
