We used the latest official drivers, and opted for maximum detail settings.

Compared to Company of Heroes and F.E.A.R., World in Conflict yields significantly lower results. Maximum detail settings severely lower the FPS. MSI Geforce NX 8800 GT is a worthy adversary – it’s right behind Geforce 8800 GTX.

This game, just like World in Conflict, makes the card work really hard. The Geforce 8800 GT at 1600x1200 with antialiasing and anisotropic filtering on gives you playable FPS. Compared to 8800 GTX, this resolution shows the greatest performance difference so far. In the course of testing, 8800 GTS was always close, but 8800 GT has proven its supremacy.

Conclusion


It appers that 8800 GT is a great choice and MSI offers two games: Lord of the Rings Online and Colin McRae. The card is overclocked to 660MHz core, 1650MHz Shader and 1900MHz memory. If that doesn’t satisfy your hunger, when overclocked it will run even at 720MHz GPU, 2060MHz memory and 1800MHz Shader speeds.

In this scenario, MSI's card will beat 8800 GTX cards that are far more expensive , and at €250, it definitely proves to be an excellent choice in this price range.

Lack of DX 10.1 support is a handicap, but it won’t be detrimental, at least for six more months. The card will get you a lot of bang for your buck, and it brings awesome gaming capabilities to this price range. We whole-heartedly recommend this card to anyone.
