Leadtek WinFast GeForce PX8800GT 256MB
Introduction
The race on the marketing of high-end video cards has lately been well-led by NVIDIA. One of great achievements was the launch of GeForce 8800 series, the world’s first DirectX 10 compliant graphics cards, the GeForce 8800 GTX / GTS based on a new G80 GPU architecture. Time has passed and ATI hasn’t been able to strike back with any top performance products. We know that ATI had some difficulties after the merge with AMD, what delayed the R600 development. So, until everything settles down, NVIDIA’s products have been mainly running alone.
But what really hurt ATI/AMD after all was NVIDIA’s GeForce 8800GT series. This time NVIDIA realized that launching a mid-end product with, while having all 8800 series qualities, affordable price would make up a great combination. And this is what happened, some core tweak came with the shrink to 65nm process, integration of the display engine and performance delivering of some ‘high-end’ boards, for example 8800GTS and GTX, which are based on G92. The GeForce 8800 GT prices between $199 and $249, putting many competitors models to shame.
Today we’re going to review the Leadtek PX8800GT 256MB Video card and check out everything this great GPU can offer.
