Geforce 8800GTX Sli review

On the 8th of November Nvidia released the Geforce 8800 Series, the world's first DirectX 10GPU. The product (in its GTX form) was widely hailed, and rightly so, as the fastest graphics card available at that time of writing. Since then ATI's AMD's new Radeon has been delayed and the graphics card market hasn't moved on, leaving the 8800 as the highest performing solution available. Shortly after the release of the 8800 series was available Nvidia launchedthe 680i chipset, designed with SLI's 8800's in mind.

We're sure that many of you who are reading will have seen the performance of 8800's in SLI already and so we are going to add a little bit of a twist to our review. As well as benchmarks at stock settings combined with an Intel QX6700 we are also going to take a look at how the product performs when paired with the Core2 Quad Core at 4 GHz and if that wasn't enough, we're going to show how the 8800 in SLI performs when overclocked and combined with the 4 GHz quad core. We also have over half a gigabyte of high definition content so you can see it all for yourself. Here's the review of Foxconn, Asus & XFX 8800GTX SLI-capable cards

eVGA's nForce 680i SLI Special Edition - pre-fitted with FOUR waterblocks



EVGA has a rightful claim to be considered NVIDIA's most enthusiast-oriented partner. In addition to launching a number of overclocked GeForce SKUs, the company has branched out into motherboard production, headlined by its excellent nForce 680i SLI board. Bring to bear its close relationship with innovatek - the cooling specialists - EVGA is launching a pre-fitted four-waterblock nForce 680i SLI that's designed to complement the Black Pearl series of cards. Innovatek's high-quality blocks are used for the CPU, PWM, northbridge and southbridge - the hottest-running parts of the board. We like the fact that the CPU block installs via the reference push-fit clips, making removal and reapplication a cinch. The southbridge block is small enough to allow a long-ish PCIe card to fit into the third slot, as well. Pricing is reckoned to be around Ł330. Expensive, yes. Quality, definitely.
