PNY GeForce 8800 GT 512MB graphics card

The PNY GeForce 8800 GT is a desktop GPU built on the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT chipset with 112 CUDA cores. It ships with 512MB of GDDR3 memory on a 256-bit interface clocked at 1800 MHz effective. The core runs at 600 MHz and connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. It supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0 for period-correct 3D workloads.

Build fit and connectivity

The card occupies a single PCI Express 2.0 x16 lane and draws power from the slot and an auxiliary connector typical of the era. Two dual-link DVI ports drive digital displays up to 2560 x 1600, while an HDTV/S-Video output handles legacy analogue screens. No VIVO or tuner functions are present. The 400 MHz RAMDAC ensures clean analogue signal quality where required.

Ideal for retro builds, not modern gaming

This GPU suits enthusiasts assembling a Windows XP or Vista-era system for DirectX 10 titles and early CUDA experimentation. Collectors needing a period-accurate 8800 GT with 512MB VRAM will find the specification a match. Gamers targeting current AAA releases, modern APIs or high-refresh 1080p play should select a contemporary graphics card instead.

Questions about this item

How many CUDA cores does the GeForce 8800 GT have?

The card provides 112 CUDA cores running at a 600 MHz core clock for parallel processing tasks.

What are the thermal and acoustic characteristics when the GPU runs continuously?

The 600 MHz core clock and 1800 MHz memory clock produce a steady heat load that the stock cooler manages without exotic noise levels.

Which power connectors must my supply provide for this PCI Express 2.0 x16 card?

The board draws auxiliary power through a standard six-pin PCIe connector; verify your PSU includes this lead before installation.
