It wasn’t too long ago we first reported about how OCZ was planning to release a graphics card based on NVIDIA’s latest graphics circuit G80. OCZ has now launched the cards and done so with promises that the cards will be easily overclocked, quite a lot too. The first, highly preliminary, reports we’ve seen points to that the cards keeps what OCZ promises. The cards are made and sold using NVIDIA’s reference frequencies, but the cards comes with high performing GDDR3 memories and plenty of overclocking potential according to OCZ, which seems to be right.
“The graphics sector is currently the technology sector with the most direct impact on the gaming experience,” commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. “It has become a logical step for OCZ Technology to get back in the game, and naturally, we are doing it with the highest end solution currently available. The OCZ 8800GTX is a limited edition of hand-selected GeForce 8800 GTX, featuring a 1350 MHz 128bit stream processor and a core clocked at 575 MHz, interfaced with the frame buffer consisting of 1800 MHz GDDR3 through a 384 bit wide data path. What sets the OCZ 8800GTX apart from the competition is the uncompromised commitment to delivering the highest possible headroom for overclocking that all OCZ products are known for.”
