Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC Review

[MikeC]

Andrew Scott has completed his review of Inno3D's GeForce 8800 GT OC graphics card. The graphics card is slightly overclocked from the reference model and delivers the performance to run the latest PC games at high quality settings.

The suspects in this affair are Quake Wars, Jericho, Call of Duty 4, and of course Crysis.

Harsh words for Vista and DX10 :)

DirectX 10 is the new kid on the block and apparently, this guy is not doing so well. Crysis was supposed to have been DirectX 10's flagship intro game, but there is a reason why the DirectX 10 implementation fails in my opinion.

If you have not seen it already around the Internet, users are allowed to make special configuration files to the DirectX 9 portion of the game to "unlock" DirectX 10 visual features without the heavy performance penality. This is simply done by adding a "game.cfg" to the main Crysis folder. So how do the visuals compare on Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC?

Where would I buy this at? I don't see any stores carrying this.

[MikeC]

Inno3d cards are not sold in the U.S.. :)

[LORD-eX-Bu]

where are they sold? europe, asia? Is it like the EVGA of those regions?

[crainger]

We get them in Australia. They are the best bang for buck maker out there. They only have a 1 year warranty though, so that puts them at a disadvantage next to XFX and EVGA and a few of the 2 year warranty guys.

Beagle is running an Inno3D 7900GT and it's been going great since day one. Stock cooling and all.

The 8800GT has been an awesome card! I really didn't know that Inno3D's cards weren't sold in the U.S. . . . learn something new everyday. Oh well, they make a pretty darn good 8800GT. I'm very happy. :D

Good review, but I want to see the GT go against the GTX! MikeC, send that man a GTX and an Ultra so we can see how they stack up!

Also, I was confused on 1 graph in there... it was a DX9 comparison of high v. very high... I didn't think DX9 had the "very high" setting. Unless you meant the DX9 tweak cfg.

:cool:

The new GTs are certainly causing me to frown at the price I paid for my GTX :(

Well for a 24" screen your GTX will do better at native res on Crysis in DX10, and probably future graphics hungry games too. For DX9 tho, the improvement is negligible, and not worth the price difference.
