Yet Another 8800GT thread

[eSky1]

Hello
i wanted to ask which cooling method for VGA is the best(silent-low temp)?
candidats are:

1. ASUS GF 8800GT PCIE 512MB 256-BIT GDDR3
which has fan cooling

2. CLUB 3D GF8800 GT PCIE 512M GDDR3 2X DVI
which has heat pipe cooling

3. VGA Gigabyte NX88T512HP 8800GT 512MB/256Bit PCIE Fan DDR3 Zalman
which has fan sink cooling



also, i got some more questions like:
1. does the OC'ed version of cards lose their "life-time performance" faster?
2. does all stock 8800 GT cards are same spec but only different manufacturer thing?
3. which card would you choose of those three and why?

Comments and opinions are welcome as always

Get the ATI 8700 PCI, it'll beat all those hands down.

I wuold choose the EVGA Superclocked GT because its the cheapest

I got one of the first BFG OCed cards and it works fine. The bios has weird settings for the cooling fan, but you can fix that with a patch released by BFG or with Rivatuner. It cools the card just fine with a little tweaking.

Yeah, i would like to get those cool cards like eVGA and BFG but there's isn't such cards in my shops... these are the best that i found :/

 

[andrei3333]
