XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog XXX Edition

INTRODUCTION

For the last couple of months computer enthusiast forums around the world have been buzzing with discussion about the forthcoming release of NVIDIA's new 8800 GT graphics card. We have read every imaginable rumor from: "The 8800 GT will be faster than the 8800 GTX" to "The 8800 GT will replace the 8800 GTS" and all other speculation in between. Fast forward to today where the NVIDIA 8800 GT is now reality and no longer just speculation!

In our review of the XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog XXX Edition we fully intend to either prove or dispel many of the myths that have been communicated concerning this graphics solution; "Graphics Myth Busters" if you will. We have also changed some of the products as well as the operating system used on our test system to bring you the most up to date and accurate results possible. These changes will be discussed in detail in the "Testing" segment of the review. Please join us as we endeavor to continue Bjorn3D's tradition of bringing you not only the most, but the best graphics card reviews on the Net!
