At the end of last month NVIDIA released one of their best video cards in some time with the first 65nm revision of the GeForce 8 series of cards we've seen yet, the GeForce 8800 GT which not only bested the GTS but also came close several times to the GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card. As always with NVIDIA cards the vendors have released numerous overclocked and tricked out editions of the card, and today we have one of these to look at, EVGA's e-GeForce 8800 GT SuperClocked edition. The GeForce 8800 GT addresses several of the major problems with the higher-end GeForce 8800 series products. And this time NVIDIA has overcome quite some to bring out the better G92 part. - AMDZone

EVGA GeForce 8800 GT SuperClocked Board Review

The majority of these addressed due to a shrink in the GPU core from 90nm to 65nm manufacturing process which solves the major issues of heat and power draw. The card isn't exactly cool running when maxed out however the dual slot solution has been replaced by a single slot cooling solution, freeing up any expansion slots the GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS took and letting up on the massive girth of the previous cards. The length has also been shortened just a hair shorter than the GeForce 8800 GTS. Power draw has also been reduced significantly coming in at levels about 60 watts lower than a GTX at full load.

All GeForce 8800 GT's currently at launch are basically the same reference design so there is no change there however the clocks are different depending on the card manufacturer's model. The GeForce 8800 GT features 112 stream processors, 16 less than a GTX but 16 more than a GeForce 8800 GTS. The stock clock speed is 600MHz for the GPU core and 1800MHz for the memory clock speed with a 256-bit bus and at present only 512MB versions. This SuperClocked edition from EVGA ratches things up slightly at 650MHz for the GPU core and 1900MHz for the 512MB of memory.

NVIDIA have come back strong after almost a year of dormancy in the high-end market with nothing but the overpriced GeForce 8800 Ultra since then, they now with the GeForce 8800 GT have a card which addresses all the issues of the high-end cards and also comes in at a very attractive price. Although it is much more the $199-$249 they were claming at first, hopefully we will see the price drop before the year is out. As far as EVGA they provide excellent customer service and also a great software bundle. Nothing really to complain about here but there isn't the almost all the GeForce 8800 GT video cards.
