The NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) 8800 GT has the perfect combination of power, performance, and price. It offers 112 stream processors, and a 256-bit frame buffer for jealousy-inducing DirectX 10 gameplay at ultra fast frame rates.

Packed with more features for the price
With 112 stream processors and a 256-bit framebuffer interface running at 900MHz, GeForce 8800 GT delivers a level of price/performance that gamers demand.

Support for next generation PC platforms
Compatible with the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, offering a future-proofing bridge to tomorrow's most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications.

Voltage Mods:

Addendum:
QUOTE
- stock vGPU voltages for this card are 1.05v (2D idle) and 1.10v (3D load)
- stock vMEM voltage for Qimonda GDDR3 (HYB18H512321BF-10) is 1.80v ±5%
- 1kΩ (or higher) variable resistor can be used for the vGPU mod in order to maintain the minimum voltage close to stock. A 500Ω VR will force the vGPU slightly higher than stock vGPU even when the VR is tuned for the lowest vGPU = maximum resistance.
- vGPU pencil mod turned out to be virtually impossible
- usage of a multimeter is strongly recommended

RivaTuner is your best friend, ATItool for artifact scanning...

My Athlon stock heatsink on 8800GT, full load 52°C

Yupe, making good contact too...

Hehe bro i poor mah so have to do budget cooling...

Won't drop la, stay fit

With Arctic Cooling MX-2... Idle at 660/1620/1800 - 43°C

Cable ties... Extreme money saver + high efficiency

BIOS flashed. Before 1.06V idle, 1.08V load... Now 1.11V idle, 1.14V load


Attached thumbnail(s)

Finally been able to spare time on the Zotac, quick run at 1.23vGPU load. Core and shader couldn't go further even though higher volts applied... Trailed behind rlhc17 by a little bit

Core 783 / Shader 1944 / Mem 2106

1K VR, idle 1.18V and load 1.23V....
Bro your new MSI how, torture it

Unmod also can hit 770MHz core and 1900MHz shader... Superb card indeed, i wonder how if it is modded?

Take out the heatsink and look at the chips...
