You’re probably wondering why I’ve not mentioned the alternatives from ATI yet – that’s because there really isn’t any alternative at this price point. The newly-released Radeon HD 3870 X2 typically retails for around £270 (inc. VAT)—some £65 more than the BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB. And at the other end of the scale, the Radeon HD 3870 is available for around £130 (inc. VAT) – that’s about £65 less than the cheapest 8800 GTS 512MB and it’s in a different performance class.

So, BFGTech’s GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB appears to have hit a price point that can’t be matched by anything other than stock-clocked GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB cards and as such it earns a recommendation from us. However, it’s important to make sure that it’s going to be connected to a 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 display, as that will show the card in its best possible light. You can get away with running the BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB on higher or lower resolution screens, but the benefits of the card aren’t going to be quite so profound.
