GeForce 8800 GTX is the beefiest graphics card circuit we’ve seen so far on the retail market and with its incomprehensible 670 million transistors there’s no doubt that NVIDIA has managed to fit a whole lot into the new graphics core. Those who have seen a GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card without a cooler knows that the card’s heatspeader is a real giant. Even if the core itself isn’t as big it’s still huge. At VR-Zone they’ve illustrated this by simply tearing off the av heatspreader from a damaged GeForce 8800 GTX cards and came to two conclusions. GeForce 8800 GTX has a huge core and removing the heatspreader could possibly improve the cooling possibilities. Unfortunately there is a great risk of killing the card in the process.
