It wouldn't be stretching the truth to say that XFX are one of the most popular enthusiast GPU manufacturers in the world today and to keep this status, they have to continually release exciting new products. The hot product in the green camp at the moment is the 8800GT, so guess which card we have from XFX?

When we first sat the XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB next to the reference NVIDIA card something just didn't look right. XFX implimented a larger fan and also increased the opening in the cover to let more cool air in. The slits on the sides of the cover have also been increased to improve airflow around the capacitors and other heat producing components. The changes to the cooling really paid off as the XFX GeForce 8800 GT was 15C cooler at idle and 8C cooler at load thanks to the increased airflow. Not bad considering the XFX GeForce 8800 GT Alpha Dog is running overclocked! Our review sample have a core clock frequency of 625MHz and the reference cards from NVIDIA run at 600MHz...

What is there not to like about the XFX XXX Alpha Dog 8800GT? Absolutely nothing a great big old zero as this card rocks in every way. The 8800 Ultra is priced at almost twice that of the GT, and the GT is almost as fast and even faster in some instances than the Ultra. NVIDIA has done something which most companies would avoid like the plague, that is make a cheaper and faster product than their highest priced card, that essentially put the Ultra on the road to EOL (End Of Life). The XFX XXX Alpha Dog Edition is one of the fastest 8800GT cards you can get out of a retail box; it's priced well below the 8800 Ultra and offers a performance ratio that outweighs its current price by a wide margin.

I have to say that this is the MUST card to have. XFX made a great job with the bundle and by factory overclocking the card. Sure, one can overclock the card relatively easily but with a pre overclocked card, one always retains the warranty.
