Some great games are out; and some more great games are right around the corner. With Crysis, Gears of War, Unreal Tournament 3, and the list goes on. As the weather worsens and winter draws near, you've never had a better excuse to spend massive quantities of quality time with these upcoming and released titles. But out there, amongst the gaming masses, there is a problem. This problem has been around since the early days of gaming, but it's particularly acute right now, for many of you out there, right now. The problem is horsepower. Many have the games, but not many have the gameplay. The hardcore crowd with their GeForce 8800 GTX's haven't had much to complain about. - NeoSeeker

BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC Edition Video Card Review

But not everybody has the best money can buy. The average Joe gamer needs more juice. Let's just face it, most of the mid-range cards have been a disappointment, for many, including myself. Review after review, all show the fastest of the mid-range cards, from both the Radeon HD 2600 XT's and the GeForce 8600 GTS's families, to be woefully under powered for DirectX 10 gaming. Why the bitter taste in my mouth? Money doesn't grown on trees, but gaming performance should. Allow us to introduce you to the BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC card. A true video card for the masses, known by the codename G92.

Far thinner than its elder brothers the GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS, the GeForce 8800 GT has a single slot cooler. It does have the length of it's older brothers though, the BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC would probably almost reach from one end of your mainboard to the other. The card may be thin, but under the hood we have around 748 million transitors of gaming power. The GeForce 8800 GT has a core clock set to 600MHz, a memory clock of 1800MHz, and a shader clock of 1500MHz. BFG overclocked this card. The overclock is slight though, 625MHz for the core, 1566MHz for the shader and the memory remains unchanged.

It's impossible not to be impressed by the performance of the BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC edition. It's just that simple, the card is just that good. As anyone can see by looking at the numbers, it boils down to the BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC offering the performance nipping at the heels of GeForce 8800 GTX, for the affordable price of $250 dollars. If you have anything below the power of GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB video card, consider a BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC edition. The only thing that might cause pause is wondering what ATI's response will be. We would not count out the red team just yet, as challenging as it might be.

But that's two big mights, because as it looks right now, the GeForce 8800 GT will be tough to beat. Gamers rejoice, the age of DirectX 10 has now only just begun. The performance of the GeForce 8800 GT OC embarrasses the mostly unimpressive GeForce 8600 GTS and Radeon HD 2600 XT cards, and dethrones the bang for the buck attractiveness of the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB. This is a true performance card for the gaming masses. This GPU has enough horsepower to get you gaming in DirectX 10, and enough horsepower to deliver any sort of DirectX 9.0c experience you are looking for.

The card even overclocks well. It would be impossible for someone to not recommend the BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC edition. The card does it all for $250. Really, unlike any other previous mid-range card, when the first, exclusive DirectX 10 only game comes out, we would bet our hat that the BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC will be able to still deliver the goods, and get you those good, playable frame rates. The SLI potential for this card is also excellent with only a single slot cooler. Every true PC gamer deserves high frame rates, but not every PC gamer is able to drop $500 dollars plus on a video card. But now you don't need to.
