Asus Geforce 8800 Gts Views
One of the 'biggest' things about Asus high end graphics cards is its absolutely huge retail box (Get it?) -- hence the reason for its large shipping box as well. Like the Asus branded 8800GTS we took a look at back in July 2007, the box is equally as large with a very similar design scheme -- along with the name of the graphics card, is also the promoted game printed all over the front. In this case, the Asus EN8800GT TOP comes with Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, a popular RTS game.
NVIDIA’s G80 GPU has been sitting atop the 3D graphics food chain for well over a year now. It was way back in November of ’06 that the GeForce 8800 GTX and original 640MB GTS arrived – the first two graphics cards based on the G80 GPU. Sometime later, the more affordable 320MB GeForce 8800 GTS and current flagship GeForce 8800 Ultra arrived, but these two cards are based on the same GPU that powers NVIDIA’s initial 8800-series offerings.
The new G92-based GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB card’s features and specifications are outlined above. Keep in mind, however, that these specifications are NVIDIA’s recommendations only. Most of their board partners will be offering cards clocked significantly higher than NVIDIA’s reference specifications.
As you can see, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB sports a total of 128 stream processors with a core GPU clock speed of 650MHz and a shader clock of 1625MHz (NVIDIA’s current GPUs have multiple clock domains within the chip, hence the different clock speeds for the core and shaders). The card’s 512MB of DDR3 memory rides along at 970MHz (1940MHz DDR) utilizing a 256-bit wide interface, which results in a little over 62GB/s of peak bandwidth.
