We all know that right now the GeForce 8800 Ultra is the king of the hill, but other lower-priced chipsets from NVIDIA are doing extremely well in the performance arena. One such chipset is the GeForce 8800 GT. This review will look at the performance of EVGA's e-GeForce
8800 GT KO, which packs a whopping 512MB of DDR3 memory.
How does it stack up? Well, I put it through a series of benchmark and in-game tests under Windows XP to determine how well it performs. To utilize the generous amount of memory, results for 4x and 8x antialiasing were also provided.
