EVGA GeForce 8800 GT 512-P3-N801-AR graphics card

EVGA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3

The EVGA GeForce 8800 GT is a PCI Express 2.0 x16 graphics card built on the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT GPU. It delivers 112 CUDA cores clocked at 600 MHz and 512MB of GDDR3 memory on a 256-bit bus running at 1800 MHz effective. The card supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0 for period-correct gaming and professional visualisation. Outputs include two DVI ports plus HDTV and S-Video connections for legacy displays.

Upgrade from GeForce 7 series or integrated graphics

Moving to this card from a GeForce 7 series board or integrated graphics adds unified shader hardware with 112 CUDA cores and a 256-bit memory interface. The jump is worth it when target titles require DirectX 10 support or need the 512MB frame buffer for 2560 x 1600 resolution. Existing GeForce 8800 GTS owners gain higher core clocks but the same memory bandwidth, so the upgrade only makes sense for clock-sensitive workloads.

Fits PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots with dual DVI output

The board occupies a single PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and draws power through the slot connector without an auxiliary plug. Two DVI ports drive twin digital monitors at up to 2560 x 1600 each, while HDTV and S-Video outputs handle analogue secondary displays. The 400 MHz RAMDAC ensures clean analogue signal quality for CRT or TV connections. No VIVO or TV tuner functions are present, keeping the I/O focused on core display tasks.
