ASUS EN8800GT TOP 512MB Graphics Card Review

Looking at the performance figures we have seen from the ASUS 8800GT TOP Edition, it is abundantly apparent that what we have here is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It looks like an 8800GT and it costs the same as most pre-overclocked 8800GTs on the market but it performs like an 8800GTS 512MB. In every one of the tests we ran, this card was a good ten to fifteen percent faster than a stock 8800GT and in quite a few instances actually passed the performance levels of an... Read more

So, where does the 8800 GT fit in terms of market niche? I'd say it's still well tuned for users looking for the best bang for buck. I mean, it's still a really, really good buy. The regular 8800 GTS, GTX, and Ultras are still quite a bit more with the GTX and Ultra still costing the most.

ASUS EN8800GT TOP 512MB

This is one fast card. Asus brings the big guns with their TOP offering. In terms of performance there is not much out there that can beat this card and not break your wallet at the same time. With that said, things are not all rosy. The fan on this card spins very slow which is a good thing for noise levels but causes the card to run hot, very hot. Perhaps this card is capable of running all day, every day at 90C. The question is, would you want it to? You can manually... Read more
