MSI GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB SLI Certified Review

In addition to providing single GPU performance with the MSI GeForce 8800 GTX, we also paired it with EVGA's e-GeForce 8800 GTX to form a mixed vendor SLI configuration. The first order of business when running the GeForce 8800 GTX in an SLI configuration is to upgrade to a certified SLI Ready power supply. High-end power supplies can be expensive and our PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR set us back $549. However, if the need to troubleshoot should ever arise, there is less of a chance the problem will involve the power supply with an SLI certified model.

High-end gaming on the PC has never been better and the MSI GeForce 8800 GTX delivers the goods to provide the best gaming experience possible. The GeForce 8800 series was designed with a unified shader architecture and as most new technology there are a few wrinkles that NVIDIA continues to iron out. MSI continues to offer solid products at competetive prices, which is one reason they are able to maintain a loyal customer base.
