MSI NX8800GTS-T2D640E 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card


Few developments have been as eagerly awaited in the gaming world as the release of NVIDIAs 8-Series graphics cards. For the thoroughbred, the MSI NX8800GTS-T2D640E PCI-E graphic card is simply extreme. Featuring the revolutionary new NVIDIA unified architecture (with GigaThread technology); this graphic card simultaneously processes multi-threaded shader instructions to reproduce rich 3D graphics details in real-time. The 640 MB of 320-Bit GDDR3 memory coupled with dual 450 MHZ RAMDACs provide enough graphic power to run the most high-end games with full specs on. Featuring full DirectX 10 support, this card is fully geared for the inevitable onslaught of the next-generation Microsoft Windows Vista. This graphic card features Open GL Customization and Support, for top-notch performance and compatibility with all OpenGL applications is guaranteed. Armed with the latest NVIDIA technologies such as NVIDIA Quantum Effects Technology, PureVideo HD Technology, and the Lumenex Engine, this card provides a surreal gaming experience. Dual CoreCell automatically adjusts GPU/RAM and fan speed for optimum performance. The MSI Vivid technology allows easy three-step adjustment of graphic properties even mid-game. The MSI StarOSD is not only the fastest way to overclock the card but is also the easiest tool to check your system status. The MSI NX8800GTS-T2D640E is SLI enabled, so you can connect two of these extreme machines in one computer to achieve true-blue gaming nirvana.

Pros: -VERY fast: Runs all latest games (Oblivion, FEAR, Quake 4, HL2) at MAX details. This is on my 20" 1680x1050 res LCD. I don't need AA really because jaggies are so hard to see at the native resolution of my monitor. -QUIET. I have 3 fans in my PC: the 8800 gts fan, the stock Intel E6300 fan, and my PSU fan. Out of these, the one I can distinctively hear is my PSU fan. I can't even hear the fans ramp up when I play a game, and this is with my computer sitting on the floor. -DX10 technology! Need I say more?
Cons: -LARGE, but in charge! -Very hefty power requirements, so I'd be out nearly $800 more if I was to set up an SLI rig.
