When AMD had unveiled the ATI Radeon HD 4850 and ATI Radeon HD 4870 last month, NVIDIA was left in an awkward position. The Radeon HD 4850 had sharply outperformed the (more expensive, at the time) GeForce 9800GTX, which led NVIDIA to immediately begin slashing prices and introducing a slightly faster GeForce 9800GTX+ that ramped up the memory and core frequencies. ATI's flagship Radeon HD 4870 also had no problems competing with the more-expensive GeForce GTX 260 / 280. Many of NVIDIA's partners as a result have slashed their prices on their earlier GeForce 8 and 9 products. One of the NVIDIA products that was previously considered a good budget graphics card was the GeForce 8800GT, but now how does it stand up against the latest from ATI and NVIDIA? In this article we are looking at the ECS GeForce 8800GT. What is particularly special about this card and some of the other newer models shipping the GeForce 8800GT GPU is a BIOS revision that should yield a performance increase.

So, what we have here at the end is a "sleeper" graphics card. In the auto world, they?re cars that people drive around that don't look fast, but packs a powerful engine hiding underneath. These are called "sleeper" cars. While they have a meek facade, they'll surprise the racer next to him once the race begins. The ECS 8800 GT 256MB Graphics Card has replaced the 8600 GTS and HD 3870 512MB cards in their entirety because it's that much faster. This is the new king of the budget cards that performs much better than budget.
