XFX GeFORCE 8800GTS XXX 320MB Review - PAGE 3
Michael Nguyen - Monday, February 12th, 2007

Every card sold nowadays comes with some sort of bundle or other, and the XFX 8800 GTS XXX is no exception. But first, the box.

Bundle

The bundle for the GTS 320MB isn't as slim as the one that came with the XFX GeFORCE 8800 GTX XXX. XFX is being more generous with their cheapest XXX card by including Ghost Recon: Advanced War.  Ghost Recon: Advanced War is notorious for its RAM debilitating ways but we couldn't get it in for this round of testing. It would've been nice to see if the GTS 320MB could handle GR:AW at full resolution.

  • Ghost Recon: Advanced War
  • Dual DVI port converters
  • S-video cable
  • S-Video to HD Composite Converter
  •  Instructional Pamplets
  • Driver CD
The wolfman returns as the box character, a full endorsor of $349 price for this card. It's a fantasic looking box if I do say myself, much more simplistic than the BFG and ASUS ones I've seen.

Setup

The system setup is the same as it has always been for the past couple months. The setup includes:

The games tested are:
  • 3DMark 2006
  • Far Cry
  • Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
  • DOOM 3
  • Quake 4
  • F.E.A.R.
  • Prey
  • X3
  • Company of Heroes

And the cluster of cards we tested are:

On to the show!
