EVGA GeForce 8800 GS 384-P3-N851-AR graphics card

8800 GS for DirectX 10 builds

The EVGA GeForce 8800 GS is a graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS GPU. It delivers 96 CUDA cores clocked at 550 MHz and 384 MB of GDDR3 memory on a 192-bit bus. The card targets systems that need DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0 support for older titles or legacy workloads.

PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and dual DVI

Installation requires a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and draws power from the motherboard. Two DVI connectors drive digital displays up to 2560 x 1600, while an HDTV and S-Video output handle analogue screens. The single-slot design leaves adjacent expansion slots free for other add-in cards.

550 MHz core under sustained load

The 550 MHz core clock and 1600 MHz effective memory clock remain steady during extended sessions because the GPU’s modest throughput keeps thermal output low. A 400 MHz RAMDAC ensures stable analogue signalling. Performance scales linearly with shader-limited DirectX 10 applications rather than peaking in short bursts.
