The GeForce 8500GT is NVIDIA's value-priced contender in the GeForce 8 series. The 8500GT has a 450MHz core clock and 400MHz memory clock, but how is this $100 creation able to compete against other graphics cards from ATI and NVIDIA? We have our hands on the passively-cooled Gigabyte GeForce 8500GT 256MB graphics card and have run our usual Linux graphics tests along with some of our first overclocking attempts with this new solution. Without further ado, we present the world's first Linux benchmarks of the NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT.

What do we have today? We have a pair of GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GTS graphics cards from MSI. With the 640MB version already being discontinued, these cheaper edition cards are popping up all over the place and it was great to have a pair together in the labs. It's not a cheap upgrade at around $900 AUD (about $680 USD) for the pair of them but if you're looking for some serious 3D gaming performance, it could well do the trick. We clearly felt that if we were going to test SLI 8800's, it had to be done properly - the Dell 30" LCD with its lovely 2560 x 1600 resolution was pulled out and SLI was tested in style. Let's not ramble on anymore and see exactly what we have here and if a pair of 8800GTS 320MB cards in SLI can do it for us.

Today, we have a selection of cards from BFGTech, EVGA, Leadtek and XFX that cover the three different price brackets the GeForce 8800 series currently operates in: GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB, GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB and GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB. Before we get down and dirty with the cards, it's worth giving you a quick run down of where each of the three products fits into the grand scheme of things.

The 8800 GTS 320MB, then, is simply an 8800 GTS with half the usual memory. Standard clock speeds are the same as the full fat GTS with a core running at 500MHz and memory at 800MHz (1,600MHz effective). The core also retains its full complement of 96 stream processors and 20 output engines. You also get all the current buzzword additives like HDCP compliant DVI ports and component output so these cards are ready for HD.

DirectX 10 graphics card belonged to the group of elites last year. That's all changing now with Vista launched and NVIDIA filling a void in its lineup with the 'new' GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB SKU. How does a speedy GPU fare when strapped with less than optimum memory? We find out in this article.

Back in December when we first looked at the GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB, we felt that BFGTech's implementation hit the right price point and was fantastic at delivering great gaming experiences all the way up to 1920x1200. Resolutions up to 2560x1600 are left to one or two GeForce 8800 GTXs, or you might just get away with a pair of 8800 GTSs in some games. The GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB is exactly what it says on the tin - it's the same card as its bigger brother, with half of the memory footprint. NVIDIA says that it is designed to deliver great gaming experiences at what the company refers to as mainstream resolutions with great image quality and an even more affordable price tag.

Today we have with us a total of four mid-range graphics cards - two from AMD and two from nVidia. While all cards are mid-range, it's clear that they sit at different end of the scales - let's call them low-end mid-range and high-end mid-range. The Radeon X1650XT and GeForce 7600GT sits at the lower end of the mid-range scale and at the other end we have the GeForce 7900GS and the Radeon X1950PRO. While offering high-end type performance, the 7900GS and X1950PRO still in belong at the mid-range level due to their pricing.

Hidden in secrecy for four years, the G80 graphics core comes alive in the form of the GeForce 8800 series. Boasting a new unified architecture, NVIDIA's Lumenex engine and the first DirectX 10 GPU ready for whatever Windows Vista and its games have in store, the flagship GeForce 8800 GTX is a showstopper!

Using the NVIDIA Forceware 96.97 drivers on the pair of XFX GeForce 8800 GTX's was an awesome experience and I can't wait for improved drivers come out to improve performance even more. The test system would run the opening scene from the first game test in 3DMark06 at over 112FPS, which is something you got to see to believe! When it came to power consumption with out system overclocked and running gaming benchmarks we saw the system peak above 600W just once, so the 750W power supply requirement is no joke.
