January 25, 2008

The 512-Mbyte XLR8 GeForce 8800 GTS (gigatexel shader) PCIe (PCI Express) 2.0 graphics card claims a 100% offload of H.264 video decoding from the processor. Features include 128 stream processors clocking at 1.625 GHz; a 256-bit, 512-Mbyte frame buffer running at 1940 MHz; and a 5-GT (gigatexel)/sec PCIe 2.0 bandwidth. The devices also provide analog standard-definition-TV/high-definition-TV output, two dual-link DVI (digital-visual-interface) connectors, and integrated dual-link HDCP (high-definition-copy-protocol) support. The XLR GeForce 8800 supports Nvidia SLI (scalable-link-interface) technology and costs $359.99 to $409.99.

the product is seeming to be quiet good, apart from a few things, the actual soldering quality of the one i got is very poor dry dull joints and flux spill on the boards. well just have to see, dont expect to use riva turner either right now 2.06 does not pull up any adjustable clocks or anything, but im sure that wont last for long, but at stock these cards are good.
