ASUS GeForce 8800 GS TOP 384MB Review

TweakTown has posted a review of the ASUS GeForce 8800 GS TOP 384MB graphics card.

Here’s an excerpt:

“After all that, I am still really unsure of where the 8800GS sits on the market. It never performs as fast as the 8800GT which is what you would expect, but it scores around the same as the 9600GT, sometimes coming out ahead, and sometimes losing to it. For the most part it’s able to beat out the HD 3870 though.

Where it really does struggle is when you turn AA and AF on. This isn’t due to bad coding or anything like that, but more so the limited bus width on the memory. It should pretty much come out ahead of a 9600GT that carries with it stock clocks for most tests, minus the AA/AF ones.”

I don’t necessarily agree with the assertion that the GeForce 8800 GS doesn’t have a spot on the market. I have seen a few models on sale for as low as $100, and at that price the GS provides huge Bang for the Buck. On a side note, the ASUS GeForce 8800 GS TOP doesn’t seem to be available in North America, I could only find it for sale in Europe and Asia.
