XFX GeFORCE 8800GTS XXX 320MB Review - PAGE 1
Michael Nguyen - Monday, February 12th, 2007


XFX has been on a G80 tear of late. With the release of their forthcoming XFX 8800 GTS XXX 320MB, it will be their ninth rendition of the G80 core series which was unveiled in late 2006. XFX has 3 verisons (XXX, ExTreme, regular) for each of the 8800 GTX, 8800 GTS 640MB and 8800 GTS 320MB.The XFX 8800 GTS XXX 320MB will make its debut in mid-February 2007, just before Valentines day.

There are few differences between this card and its GTS brethren with 640MB other than the obvious RAM adjustments. The most pleasant change being the price. The XFX 8800 GTS 320MB will cost half that of the GTX 768MB version at $299, while the XXX version will cost $349. For a better idea of the price differences:


    • XFX 8800 GTX XXX 768MB      -   $649
    • XFX 8800 GTX 768MB            -    $599
    • XFX 8800 GTS XXX 640MB      -    $549
    • XFX 8800 GTS 640MB            -    $449
    • XFX 8800 GTS XXX 320MB    -    $349
    • XFX 8800 GTS 320MB            -    $299
When we reviewed the XFX 8800 GTX XXX 768MB , it was clearly the fastest card available at the time. However with a little price gouging, the GTX XXX wasn't very cost-effective and thus, left out a large proportion of the consumer market. The XFX 8800 GTS 320MB is intended to swallow up the medium-to-high end range at the $300 dollar mark and become the eventually sucessor to the 79xx series that dominated this price range for a year plus.
