Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GT NX88T512HP v1.0 Review

Closer Look:

The Gigabyte 8800GT is the standard size of most other video cards but what makes this card stand out visually is the big Zalman-like fan on the GPU. Also, this card has caps on each the DVI outputs, the S-Video output, and the SLi connector. I've never seen this before but I think it's an excellent idea. The DVI-Output number one is colored light blue, which is helpful for users who may not know which DVI port to plug their monitor into.

This video card is powered by a single 6-pin PCI-Express power cable which plugs into the rear end of the card.

The memory on this 8800GT is capable of a 1000MHz clock speed which is pretty significant.

Included with the Gigabyte 8800GT is the instruction manual, "Neverwinter Nights 2" manual and game, driver CD, two DVI to VGA converters, two 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PCI-Express converters, and an HDTV output cable.

Now let's get the drivers installed and take a look at Gigabyte's overclocking utility.
