Albatron GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB review

Info: Albatron
Price: 249 EUR,-

Albatron GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB reviewHello everyone, today a review from the good people over at Albatron.  A company that has been under pressure a little the past two years yet is little by little getting back on it's feet with a new business model. That new model certainly does seem to pay off, and good for them as their products always have been awesome. Today we'll be reviewing Albatron's GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB. There have been two product releases in the past few months that offer staggering performance for the money you pay for it. The first being the 8800 GT and the second a GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB. Albatron is a board partner for NVIDIA, and so they lined up this product as well. And what a good choice that is.

NVIDIA released a re-spin graphics card based on the same G92 chip as that GT. That's the new model GeForce 8800 GTS the one with 512MB of memory.

Now, I agree the NVIDIA product line up in the GTS series is confusing. If we merely look at the GTS models, we have the 320MB version with 96 shader processors, a 640 MB model with 96 processors, then there's the overclocked versions and now even cheaper than that 320MB model a 512MB GTS yet with actually 128 shader processors. My advise to you is you can officially skip the 320MB and 640 MB models as the all new GTS 512 MB models are based on the newer G92 (better) based 65nm silicon, which is nearly as fast as a 768 MB GTX and is priced pretty darn competitively. We've already seen these things sell for 219 USD, which is just an amazing price.

Over the next pages we'll dive into the technology called G92, which is powering that 8800 GTS 512MB, we'll look at the card stripped naked in a photo-shoot, then fire off a nice round of benchmarks at the cards top see how they perform and where they stand among the rest of the 8 series products. Let's startup this review.

Albatron 680i SLI mainboard review
The Albatron nForce based 680i SLI even since it's release is an amazing mainboard series. It's simple .. if you want to overclock your PC, chances are large that you at the very least are opting a 680i mainboard with Core 2 Duo processor and some good memory.

Albatron K8SLI mainboard
Albatron decided toe ease the pain a little. They introduced a mainstream SLI mainboard based on the NFORCE 4 SLI chipset that is quite affordable and offers a more than enough of functionality versus excellent performance. Being an affordable mainboard costs can be cut a little. Next to that one of my personal wishes finally was introduced .. as stated you need to enable SLI mode on the mainboard if you are using two GeForce graphics card in a SLI setup, which normally can be done with that little SLI card that sits securely on your mainboard andĀ needs to be be flipped around. Some manufacturers ditched that SLI card and allow that change from the BIOS or even automatically. AlbatronĀ is such a company, and this mainboard has a digital switch, you seriously don't have to do a thing. Lovin' it!

Albatron PC6800 - Wise Fan III + Heat Pipe
When I was at the CeBIT 2005 earlier this year, a couple of things caught my attention, and I'm not 'just' talking about the beautiful booth babes here. We see a new trend in the industry, product differentiation , set yourself on another spot in the market to get more reputation and expand your diversity. Albatron, a good partner for Guru3D.com, has always been a trendsetter in that respect. This year when I walked by their booth something caught my attention. A GeForce 6800 with passive cooling ... yet it was not 100% passive. Weird yes ? Basically two cooling technologies combined.
