Point-of-View GeForce 8800 GTX
You can't have missed the fact that nVidia has unleashed their GeForce 8800 GTX today, upsetting the entire graphics card market. The new addition is faster than any current offerings, and that alone we think is enough reason to go out and buy one. However it is not only speed that counts with this card, the GeForce 8800 card is the first card that is DirectX 10 compatible. In our test that was published today we have already described all the new technologies in the card, and put it through all our standard benchmarks. We have received the new card from three manufacturers: Point-of-View, Leadtek en Sparkle. It is no surprise that these three cards are all very similar, as nVidia usually only works with one only production partner at the launch of a new high-end card. As the partners are not allowed to overclock the card, all clock speeds are identical as well. This however does not stop us to introduce these three card to you in a seperate review.
Point-of-View GeForce 8800 GTX
The Point-of-View GeForce 8800 GTX was the basis of our extensive GeForce 8800GTX test. As the retail box was not available at the time of writing this article, we can not show you what it looks like. Point-of-View is the only manufacturer that delivers a dongle with the card that enables you to use the video input possibilities of the card, and bundles the card with the game Dark Messiah. We could overclock their sample to 630MHz GPU speed and 1001MHz memory speed.
