[review] Palit GeForce 8800GS 384MB & 768MB

Click to enlarge

Comparing 8800 GS(G92-150) and 8800 GT(G92-270),they not only have differences in memory size and interface, but also in SP and ROP. Some rumors said the chip is bad quality G92-270, NVIDIA screened the malfunctioning part and it becomes G92-150. G92-150 is only for OEM market, but because of AMD’s HD 3850 done quite well in the market, give lots of pressure in the mainstream market segment, so G92-150 becomes 8800GS and launched before everyone can expected.

Because it is for mainstream market, so lot’s of features are omitted to save the manufacturing cost. we can notice this from the core, the memory and the PCB.

Comparison between 8800GT reference PCB and Palit 8800GS

Reference 8800GT’s PCB is 10 layers model P939, but Palit version 8800GS 768MB’s PCB is PM8292, 8 layers. Palit 8800GS 384MB’s PCB is PM8092, 6 layers. The power module of 8800GS 384MB is more hotter than reference 8800GT, and even have some high frequency sounds when running 3D applications.

    Sorry , but your 8800gt 256mb results are questionable at best – I get much better performance with my Gigabyte 8800gt 256MB card factory overclocked, which is a custom non-reference card but I don’t think that should make huge difference — I’m getting much better performance than your tests suggest, and I seriously doubt an 8800gt 384mb card is going to get any major advantage over the 8800gt 256mb at higher resolution with antialiasing – the results are bogus.

    For instance, just my test of my 8800gt 256mb with the Crysis in game GPU bench, I get 29 fps at all high settings at 1280×1024, and that’s only on an Athlon x2 3800+ running at 2.75GHz – With the Very high hack in Windows XP, I get 15 fps at 1280×1024 — this is so much higher than your test, that it brings in to question all of your results (bashing) of the 256mb 8800gt card.

    Get your act together guys — 18 fps is laughable – I’ve played through the whole game at high settings and it’s very playable average about 30fps.

    @ness

    notice DX10 for Crysis benchmark… That means Vista, not very good for gaming, sluggish performance. You’re playing on XP, different story. bye bye.

  6. Tardio Says:

    Nice test, it’s a good card, but, can you test the 8800GS on Crysis with DX9 and not with Dx10 please ?

    Or if someone have a link :)

    Not a bad review, but I am missing the HD 3870. The 8800GS sells for the same price as a 3870 !!!!! And the 3870 is better for that price.

    Windows Vista uses more VGA memory, and thats the cause of the relative better performance of the 8800GT 256mb in Win XP.

    At techpowerup.com Ifound a test of EVGA e-Geforce 8800GS 384MB.
    Strange thing is the Power Consumption when working compared to HD3850.
    In your test the 8800GS consumes more power than HD3850, in the other test 8800GS uses less power than HD3850. Do you know why ?
