XFX GeFORCE 8800GTX XXX Review - PAGE 1
Michael Nguyen, J. Micah Grunert
- Thursday, January 25th, 2007


In the early part of November 2006, NVIDIA released its long awaited G80 centric 8800 series. Now in the new year 2007, after garnering stellar reviews, the 8800 series has been championed as the new computer graphics king with some drawing comparisons of it being equal to the like of a SLI 7950 GX2 setup. XFX has released four different G80 cards, the GeFORCE 8800GTX, 8800GTS and their XXX variants. This review will deal solely on the top of the line XFX GeFORCE 8800GTX XXX.

The XXX should be a familiar branding to those who have been following XFX. XFX has been branding its premium cards that are overclocked out of the box with the "XXX" name and selling them for about half a benjamin more. With the $50 premium over a vanilla 8800GTX, it's a worthy cause to see whether the extra cost is justified. If you do decide to get a XFX card, whether it be the GTS or GTX, there is no need to fret over the card overheating or breaking on you as it comes with XFX's patented double lifetime warranty.

In spite of the card's name, the only thing sexual about the XFX GeFORCE 8800GTX XXX is its performance.  So for those who have money to burn, the card can be bought for an MSPR of $649. XFX has come out most recently as one of the most inventive and capable graphics manufacturers and they haven't disappointed with XXX.  So let's move on and see what this puppy's got!
