Nvidia 8800GT
2. Inno3D 8800GT OC Edition
Inno3D introduces its own proposal based on the Nvidia 8800GT, the Inno3D 8800GT Overclock Edition. This card features 512MB of memory, a core clock of 650MHz and a memory frequency of 1.90GHz, which is higher than what "generic" 8800GT cards offer. The retail package has all the certified logos. Unfortunately we can't give you a retail price at the time this review is being written, since it may change by the time the product hits the market...
The Inno3D 8800GT OC edition comes bundled with Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition computer game. You will notice the additional "Overclock" logo on the top left corner of the box.
Everything is well packaged:
While all the usual goodies are present, we noticed that there was only one DVI-D to D-Sub adapter, when usually other manufacturers include two. In case your power supply doesn't include a six pin PCI-e molex connector, Inno3D has included one.
The Inno3D 8800GT OC edition comes with a shiny black cooler shell, that distinguishes it from Nvidia's generic design. Of course, the board design comes from Nvidia with a single slot cooler solution. The graphics card is 23cm in length, so be careful, there might be some issues with crammed cases.

SLI is possible with the Inno3D 8800GT OC edition...
After installing the graphics card, we can find more details about its main features and specifications. The CPU core runs at 650MHz, that's 50MHz higher than the generic Nvidia 8800GT card. The memory is also boosted up to 950MHz (+50MHz), while the Shader clock is rated at 1690MHz (+190MHz). We are curious to see how fast this card can go, especially with the newest gaming titles...
