Title: ECS GeForce 8800GT 256MB ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "When AMD had unveiled the ATI Radeon HD 4850 and ATI Radeon HD

4870 last month, NVIDIA was left in an awkward position. The Radeon HD

4850 had sharply outperformed the (more expensive, at the time) GeForce

9800GTX, which led NVIDIA to immediately begin slashing prices and

introducing a slightly faster GeForce 9800GTX+ that ramped up the memory

and core frequencies. ATI's flagship Radeon HD 4870 also had no problems

competing with the more-expensive GeForce GTX 260 / 280. Many of

NVIDIA's partners as a result have slashed their prices on their earlier

GeForce 8 and 9 products. One of the NVIDIA products that was previously

considered a good budget graphics card was the GeForce 8800GT, but now

how does it stand up against the latest from ATI and NVIDIA? In this

article we are looking at the ECS GeForce 8800GT. What is particularly

special about this card and some of the other newer models shipping the

GeForce 8800GT GPU is a BIOS revision that should yield a performance

increase."
