This is our review product: Unika HD 3850 512M GDDR4. It is fatory-OC at 700/2200MHz(core/mem), and the price is 1499RMB (about 203 USD), the same with the referenced HD 3850 256MB GDDR3. The PCB is shorter than reference version and using a dual slot al-cu cooler. The card have quite a lot nice features, but it is BIOS disable PowerPlay, we will mention it later in the review.
Thermal improvements of eVGA superclock 8800GT new BIOS |
|
First of all, thanks to eVGA. It is an owesome company, providing not only life-time warranty and tech-support to their customer but also BIOS update that normal company can not done. This time eVGA debuts a BIOS update that will allow 8800GT to have advanced RPM control on the cooler. With the BIOS you can have a multiple levels of auto control on the fan, more info about the BIOS please read page 2. Anyway we did a little research on it and find out the BIOS can be flash to ANY reference 8800GT.
But first we must introduce eVGA’s product line-up. Because it is important to find out which BIOS is the most suitable for our reference 8800GT.
eVGA have 4 kind of 8800GT totally. All of them is reference version but three is factory-OCed. About one week ago eVGA debuts BIOS update for their OC version(Superclock, KO and SSC).

The extra 16SP really boost performance of 8800GTS 512MB? |
|
Now it is about time for you guys to go for a 8800GTS 512MB. The local retailer in your place may still have none of it, but in Newegg we can see lot’s of 8800GTS 512MB in stock.
Even in this time we still can not post our review. Coz we have lots of items in it and still running test now. So we decide to post the most important part of it, and we believe this is everyone like to read.
As you know, 8800GTS 512MB and 8800GT all based on G92, the difference is 8800GTS has 128SP while 8800GT has 112SP, and 8800GTS upgrade the clock from 8800GT’s 600/1800/1500MHz to 650/1944/1625MHz(core/mem/shader).
So how the extra 16SP benefits? this test is all about it. We use NiBiTor.v3.6 to modify 8800GT’s BIOS, overclock 8800GT to 8800GTS’ level, and compare two cards.
