The announcement of any graphical solution has usually a sufficiently interesting phase: Frequently video card producers show the finished models, which differ from standard product in terms of their design or characteristics. The alternative solutions can enter later .
Yesterday was announced the geForce 8800 GT. First, the performance of this video card is well influenced by the shader domain overclock . In Second place, default cooler do not allow serious overclock .
As far as alternative cooling systems is concerned, here is the alternative cooling from sparkle company .
It is necessary to note that the video card frequencies in this case remained standard: 600/1500/1800 MHz. All other producers, already now propose the GeForce 8800 GT with high frequencies using the standard design video card :
- EVGA:
- Superclocked edition - > 650/1625/1900 MHz ($279);
- KO edition - > 675/1688/1950 MHz ($289);
- SSC edition - > 700/1750/2000 MHz ($299).
- BFG - > 625/1566/1800 MHz (less than $300).
- XFX:
- Xtreme - > 640/1900 MHz;
- XXX - > 670/1950 MHz.
- Zotac:
- GeForce 8800 GT - > 660/1600/1800 MHz ($249);
- GeForce 8800 GT AMP! Edition - > 700/1700/2000 MHz ($259).
- Inno 3d - > 700/1680/2000 MHz.
- MSI - > 650/1650/1900 MHz.
- Leadtek - > 680/2000 MHz.
IN USA it is possible to order the GeForce 8800 GT 512 mb standard design for $229.
Palit company proposes the GeForce 8800 GT with its own design and using the triphase power system (against two-phase in standard video card) and the alternative cooling system, which limit the noise level to not more than 29,5 dB.
For the work with GeForce 8800 GT , NVIDIA company recommends power unit with not of less than 400 W, capable of maintaining load on 22 A along the +12 v line . For two GeForce 8800 GT a power unit with 450 W is required (with 24 A along the +12 v line ) . It is necessary to note that this moderate requirement for the ensured speeds level .
As far as PCI express 2.0 support is concerned, GeForce 8800 GT quietly works in any motherboards with PCI express x16 interface both corresponding to the specifications PCI express 1.x and PCI Express 2.0. Video card with passage to more faster system bus PCI express 2.0 show practically 0 performance boost - interface in this case is not the bottleneck. Related Products :
