A Ten-Course GeForce 8800 GT Feast

Gigabyte & Inno3D

Gigabyte GV-NX88T512H-B

Compared to the many overclocked versions out in the market, Gigabyte's GeForce 8800 GT is about as generic and nondescript as it comes, with the reference cooler and standard clocks (that is 600MHz core and 1800MHz DDR for the memory). There is not even a custom decal to set it apart, besides a modest Gigabyte sticker on the fan. However, Gigabyte did include a decent RPG, Neverwinter Nights 2 to sweeten the deal and with one of the lowest recommended retail prices locally for a GeForce 8800 GT at S$409, we bet it won't be gathering dust on retail shelves in spite of its ordinariness.

If a standard GeForce 8800 GT is all you need, Gigabyte is as good as any.

Here's what you get in the package:-

  • Driver CD
  • Quick installation guide
  • DVI-to-VGA adaptor
  • 6-pin Molex power connector
  • 7-pin mini-DIN to Component/S-Video dongle
  • Neverwinter Nights 2


Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT OC Edition

Inno3D has been jazzing up its graphics cards in recent times, with third party coolers and overclocked versions. This OC edition of the GeForce 8800 GT unfortunately only features the standard cooler but then again so did the majority of the GeForce 8800 GT cards in our roundup today. Inno3D did however overclock this card to a respectable 650MHz for the core and 1900MHz DDR for the memory. It's not among the fastest we have seen but a decent start for those wary of overclocking the card on their own. The bundle also has a good selection of cables and accessories but besides the drivers, there are no additional software or games found. Obviously there's a premium to pay for the overclock and according to its local rep, the retail price should be around S$449. For those who don't mind the standard edition, it can be obtained for a very decent street price of S$405.

Overclocked but lacking some of the frills of the more prestigious brands, Inno3D needs a competitive price to win over consumers.

Here's what you get in the package:-

  • Quick installation guide
  • 6-pin Molex power connector
  • S-Video to Composite cable
  • 7-pin mini-DIN to Component dongle
  • S-Video to Component cable
  • S-Video extension cable
