GeForce 8800 GT Round-Up

Zitat

It's the ASUS TOP Edition and obviously that means high clocks and in the case of the GeForce 8800 GT, even higher temperatures. These clocks help to ensure that for most of our benchmarks, the ASUS was right there at the top. The manufacturer has spared no expense on this premium edition and the new Company of Heroes expansion should be welcomed by most RTS playing consumers. With an estimated retail price of S$469, it is no doubt one of the more costly GeForce 8800 GT cards out there in the market but it could be well worth the price if guaranteed overclocking together with an extended 3-year warranty is what you're looking for. Besides, if you can wait a little, the revised TOP edition with a Glaciator cooler and custom PCB may be available shortly and that could prove to be an even better choice.

[...]The sole vendor to offer a custom solution, Palit's GeForce 8800 GT Sonic has a two-slot cooler that is clearly superior to the reference version, at least in our temperature testing segment. This is in spite of being overclocked. Palit has tried to put together a decent bundle and in this aspect, it has largely succeeded. Although we don't have the price at the moment, we expect Palit to have competitive pricing, going by previous Sonic editions. Editor's note: Palit just informed us that the Sonic will be sold under the XpertVision brand locally, meaning you'll find the XpertVision GeForce 8800 GT Sonic instead, along with the lowest price among the retail cards here, at S$406, making this a very good buy.

[...]The surprise package in our roundup is without doubt the Zotac GeForce 8800 GT AMP! Edition. Boasting high clocks that match the ASUS TOP and enthusiast friendly extras like an orange LED, this is almost the perfect match. If only Zotac had included a game to bolster its bundle against its rivals, it would have been a clear favorite. As it is now, the saving grace is its price tag of US$299, which makes it slightly cheaper than the ASUS, with almost identical performance.
