Default [Infomation] Nvidia 8800GS Alpha Dog

Hello everyone!

As My exams come near so does the Life of my GPU....(not for another few years!)

Well My best and probably last GPU I will ever get.

The 8800 Series were a very good set of GPU's using the G92 core's , it certainly left an impact on the GPU industry.
It was also a much better addition to the 8 series from the 8600 series...

Name: 8800 GS Alpha Dog Edition
Rating: 4.6/5.0
Connection Type: PCI-E
Bandwidth: 192 bit

Review:

Firstly I have to say this is a beast of a card IF used properly or overclocked it can really do some damage ( IN A good sense).

The Lineup for today

1. Mass Effect
2.Bio shock
3. Quantum Of Solace
4. 3D MARK 06

_____________________________
Mass Effect:
Rating : 4.9/5
Issue Factor: 0/5
Comments:
The one game I thought unbeatable with anything I throw at it ,I thought wrong...
This card worked excellently with it , a few minor details but overall very very good!
P.S. This game has some issues of it's own.

_______________________________

Bioshock
Rating : 4.6/5
Issue Factor:0.5/1
Comments:
This is the second time I have played through this game , It's a very good game!
This game requires a fairly demanding setup , Nothing that this card couldn't handle, although some 'spikes' and lags occurred , nothing to effecting though.

Quantum Of solace
Rating:5/5
Issue Factor:0/5
Comments:
What can I say? It did very well I couldn't see anything bad or something annoying, overall a very good job done.

3D MARK 06
Rating:n/a
Issue Factor:n/a
Right for all of those who don't know what 3D mark vantage is , it's a program which kind of 'measures' your graphical performance.
With The BEST overclock I could do I got a score of 10980.
Which is pretty good considering it status.
Without Overclocks I got a score of 9877!
Still a very good score!

Overall Conclusion:

Frankly this card is excellent , It did a very good job and I would recommend it to anyone needing a good rounded card.

Although newer cards have been released so please bear that in mind , when buying.

But on the whole an excellent well rounded card which could do a very good range of graphically stressing jobs.


Recommended for:
The mid-range gamer , a low end gamer ( this card will last) , graphically straining programs , ( this card can take a good beating before showing issues). High Amounts of video editing. Possibly photo editing.

NOT recommended for:
Some small video editing , a high end gamer ,
reason being that newer cards have been released.
Smaller tasks such as word processing , spreadsheets etc.
