Authorized cooling system GeForce 8800 GT graphics cards whom little is appropriate in terms of performance and noise, so most partners NVIDIA hastened to replace the reference cooler for something better. Quite seriously in this regard had "very approximate" NVIDIA to producers, who rarely deviate from the reference design.

Nevertheless, this week the company EVGA find a compromise solution. It issued a series of graphics cards, which combines the improved design GeForce 8800 GT with a cooler of GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB. Indeed, given the degree of kinship between these graphics cards, we can safely claim that the new versions of GeForce 8800 GT performed in the design GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB. At least, the design of the cooling system and the existence of three phases in nutrition subsystem allow this to say.

The new series produced two video cards: EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GT AKIMBO SC 512 MB (P3-512-N808-AR) and EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GT Superior Cooling 512 MB (P3-512-N807-AR). Both have the same two-cooler, the first operating at frequencies 720/1728/2000 MHz, the second - on the frequencies 600/1500/1800 MHz. The cost of the first in the corporate online store is $ 289, second is $ 269.

Apart from the cooler itself, this kit includes mounting plate for the back of the cards and lining for the back plate. Manufacturer claims that the new cooler can lower the temperature at 25 degrees Celsius.

In European Retail, meanwhile, was seen videocard EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTS Black Pearl 512 MB (512-P3-E847-WR) comes pre vodoblokom, which operates on 740/1835/1980 MHz frequencies. Prices in Germany will start from 432 euros.
