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.

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 ?
