Yoyoyo! Party people whatup ? Shortly before the introduction of some new NVIDIA respin graphics cards, XFX decided to go out with a bang. I don't know how they did it but they are now offering a GeForce 8800 GTS armed with 320MB RAM under the Fatal1ty label that is so darn fast you won't believe it. I guess that spoils the surprise as to what we'll be testing today eh ?

So today we'll have a look at that fatal line from XFX, with a product which will bring a couple of new features to the existing product line for sure. The Fata1ty Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB graphics card comes with it's GPU core pre-overclocked at 650 MHz and it's 320 MB memory clocked at (2x) 999 MHz. If that isn't rather radical, the Shader domain inside that graphics processor is clocked at a lovely 1620 MHz. Now if that does mean jack to you, then basically these are the reference specs a 320 model normally has: 500 MHz core, 2x 800 MHz memory and a shader domain clock of 1200 MHz, can you already sniff the performance increase ? That's like bacon on your eggs man, you know it's not healthy but it's so delicious.

As you should know by now XFX has a somewhat "luxurious" version of the some of their graphics cards. Well actually two, they call it the XXX and Fatal1ty line of products, today flavored in the form of a GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB. So today the turn goes to the cream of the crop product from XFX; obviously we'll compare it to the default clocked 640 MB model, see at what resolution the frame-buffer limitation kicks in, and have a look what default faster clocks actually are doing in terms of performance over that 640 MB model. Oh and yes, fire off a couple of DX10 tests at them.

Still with me ? No ? Okay, go to the next page where I'll go a little deeper into this, but not until I've shown you exactly what we are reviewing today ...
