_______________________

The 8800GTS 320Mb is a popular product amongst Nvidia’s partners and as a result there is a hugely varied range of cards currently available which differ greatly in specification, all trying to attract customers in what is a very lucrative segment of the graphics card market. Two manufacturers known for making variants of Nvidia cards which exceed reference specifications are BFG and XFX. Today we have a card from each manufacturer, both of these feature enhanced clock speeds, let’s see if these are good value to the end user.

nice review guys. I especially like the look of the XFX board, seems a very well priced option to get into DX10 gaming. The BFG has a lot going for it though, it hits the magical £200 mark. Things are really good value now for graphics and gaming when you look at the price compared to the past.

Looks good, nice review. Every time I see the benchmarks for those cards, I get the urge to pick one up. Curious to see how they preform with those games at 1280*1024.
