Introduction

The GeForce 8800 GT is already several months old, but still one of the best cards on the market. It is built around the NVIDIA G94 chip which has 505M transistors. This same chip will even be used on the soon to be released 9800 GTX. The VVIKOO GeForce 8800 GT Max 1024 MB we test today follows the reference specification, except that it comes with 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory instead of 512 MB.

When we tested the 1 GB version of the AMD Radeon HD 2900 XT we saw that there is no performance increase by going to 1 GB. Hopefully this will be better with the 8800 GT 1 GB.
