Palit Geforce 8800GT Super+ 1GB Videocard Review
Palit Geforce 8800GT Super+ 1GB Videocard Review - PCSTATS
Palit have taken a slightly different approach with this GeForce 8800GT-class videocard. Rather than pre-overclock the GPU and memory, it's added an extra 512MB of onboard videocard memory, bumping the total to 1GB GDDR3.

Ranked according to maximum overclocking memory result. Coming up with a criteria to rank the videocards was very difficult but we ended up ranking maximum memory speed. Memory bandwidth plays a key role in the overall performance of the videocard and realistically a GPU/VPU can never get enough no matter how it is designed. * The Biostar Sigma-Gate GeForce 7600GS has core and memory voltage options.

The Palit 8800GT Super+ 1GB ships from the factory at stock GPU and memory speeds - a modest 600MHz and 1800MHz respectively. Overclocking was a bit of a challenge, but in the end PCSTATS was able to overclock the Palit 8800GT Super+'s 1GB of GDDR3 memory to 1930MHz and its nVidia 8800GT processor to about 750MHz.

The Geforce 8800GT with 1GB memory

An extra 512MB helps out the Palit 8800GT Super+ 1GB in a couple of the benchmarks we threw at it today, but that extra memory also makes overclocking more of a challenge. While somewhat of a trade off, the performance boost 1GB of memory provides is worth it compared to vanilla Geforce 8800GT videocard solutions.

Palit have selected a large blue aluminum heatsink for the 8800GT Super+ 1GB that looks similar to the old Thermaltake Orb CPU coolers. The heatsink is bulky, so the videocard occupies dual slots. The 70mm fan is PWM controlled, but when it rotates at full speed the videocard can get rather loud. During testing the heatsink got pretty warm, so we know it's working, it's just not as elegant as the low profile reference heatsink shipped with most Geforce 8800GTs.

Mainstream users will find the Palit 8800GT Super+ 1GB capable for moderate to heavy gaming. The card retails for $290 CDN ($290 USD, £150 GBP) and comes with a full copy of the game Tomb Raider Anniversary, and cables to output video over composite/component or HDMI. Far too many manufacturers neglect to include the simple HDMI-to-DVI adaptor, so we're pleased Palit hasn't make that mistake too. Overclocking was somewhat of a mixed bag, but PCSTATS was still able to push the Geforce 8800GT to 750MHz GPU. 1930MHz memory.

Compared to the range of Geforce 8800GT videocards PCSTATS has previously tested, the Palit 8800GT Super+ 1GB does hold an edge in several game benchmarks thanks to the extra memory. If you desire good game scores and and like what you see here, you should be quite happy with what the Palit 8800GT Super+ 1GB has to offer.
