When we first heard that a 256MB version of the 8800GT was coming out at the $200.00 price range, our first thoughts were damn that is going to kick ATI in the shins. This has panned out to be true in more than one way, for one this is a 256MB card that uses DDR3, not DDR4 memory and has a third less Stream processors than ATI's 512MB DDR4 card, and yet still keeps up, for another it's priced lower. The ATI HD 3870 is priced at $239.00 around the net, the 256MB 8800GT will be $200.00 this equals a big ouch for the boys in red and black, and puts the green team back in motion again. Nice job here!

XFX is first out of the gates with the latest gunslinger for the NVIDIA family, the all new XFX Alpha Dog XXX 8800GT 256MB Edition card. This card is priced at the same level as the ATI 3870 and is rumored to be thee card to have in the $200.00 price range. NVIDIA will be really making a dent in ATI's sales if this card is as hot as they, but will availability like the 8800GT 512MB be an issue? We are the first in the world to see this card and couldn't wait to get this card onto a test bench and see what is really up with this new introduction into NVIDIA's mid level lineup. Based on the new G92 chipset supporting PCIe 2.0 this card sports 256MB OF G-DDR3 sizes in at 9" and draws 105W of power. Lets take a look at what the card look likes and what it is made of. NVIDIA may just have another winner of a card in the form of this latest release.
