MSI 8800 GT 512 MB on the Australian test bench

TweakTown staff did their own 8800 GT test ahead of almost everyone.

They received the selected card directly from the MSI factory, which is worth knowing that it has values ​​on the order of 10 percent higher than the clocks recommended by NVIDIA. It does all this under reference cooling, which the test shows can make a very pleasant little noise at full load. Of course, this will be pushed into the background as soon as we see what NVIDIA's latest savior is capable of!
