NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX technical specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 8800 GTX sales 8 November 2006 at a recommended price of 599 USD. This is a Tesla architecture desktop card based on 90 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 768 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 0.9 GHz are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 86.4 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is 2-slot card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 270 mm. An additional 2 6-pin power connectors are required, and power consumption is at 155 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 5.50 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA TITAN Xp.

Technical specs

Quantitative parameters such as shaders number, GPU core clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly say of video card performance, but to be more precise you have to review it's benchmark and gaming test results.

Compatibility, dimensions and requirements

Information on video card compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus - if the video card is inserted into the slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
