PNY 8800GTX 768MX XLR8 Edition Review

What we have here from PNY is a stock-overclocked 8800GTX, part of their “XLR8″ line of enthusiast hardware, and it’s one of the least expensive 8800GTXs on the market. It has no bundle to speak of-outside of the driver disk, cables, and a handful of adapters, all necessary inclusions-therefore nothing to drive up the price.

..Since last year, the only card that has given the 8800GTX a run for its money is the 8800 Ultra. But, come on, under that monster heatsink it’s just a GTX, and no-one outside of NVIDIA is going to tell you that the Ultra is really worth the extra money.

And this is the proof: a relatively cheap 8800GTX that’s fully capable of the same (and potentially higher) performance, without the massive price tag. Sure, to get there it still needs a little tweaking, but even the stock speed of PNY’s XLR8 OC 8800GTX is on par with a reference Ultra. (Higher core, lower memory speeds; it works out pretty evenly.) Then there’s the price. It’s tied for cheapest of the 8800GTXs.
