These GPUs are surprisingly competent, if these cards have more VRAM they might be able to stretch its legs more, improving those frame-time inconsistencies, but they came from a time where programmers optimize their games for the 256MB - 512MB of the PS3 and Xbox 360,

Crysis, still 25 FPS on this GTX 8800 cheat GT cards ? why that ?

[@postanimus8989]

Some people may not remember, but 8800GTX was monster of a card. Back in 2006 it could handle every game on the market at 2560x1600 resolution and maximum settings. When Oblivion launched in early 2006, there was no card that could do 30 fps (!) on maximum settings. Then 8800GTX released in late '06 and it could handle Oblivion on maximum settings at 2560x1600. It was massive improvement over previous generations - 7800GTX and 6800 Ultra. 2000's were arguably best times for gaming industry ever.

[@leanlifter1]

It ran everything cept Crysis lol.

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

155W might not seem like much today but just 3 years before the 8800GTX the FX5900 Ultra used 59W and that was ridiculed for being hot and power hungry. How things have changed. Of course the coolers back then were much smaller. On my first GPU the 9600Pro it had only a tiny 40mm fan and a minuscule heat sink.

[@kenshinhimura6280]

It`s absolutely crazy if you compare it with a RTX 4060 power consumption. That thing was HUNGRY damn lol

8800 GTX is the 1080 Ti of that time. There's also a 8800 Ultra.

[@BlitzvogelMobius]

I would consider the 8800 GTX (specifically the G80 GPU) to be Nvidia's 2nd most important graphics card they ever released, only beaten by the original Geforce 256. That's how awesome and landmark this product was. It really took the wind out of the PS3's sails, being over twice as powerful as the PS3's RSX GPU (itself a cutdown 7800GTX GPU), despite both being released within an earshot of eachother. Unified shader architecture really was a huge deal moving forward and sharing that aspect with the Xbox 360's Xenos (the first production unified shader GPU) lent well to porting games between PC and 360. Pre-unified shader GPUs became obsolete overnight, Nvidia's most of all. As many others are saying, a version with more VRAM (1.5 GB to preserve memory bus) would've extended it's legs a bit longer, though it would've been crazy expensive. Personally I was willing to afford the much cheaper 8800 GTS 320 MB when some managed to become available in early 2007 at the local Fry's Electronics. Even the cut down G80 with less than half the VRAM of the GTX blew my mind.

[@Banunin]

Interesting fact: the 9800GT was a mid-range card from 2008, which manages to have the same performance as an 8800GTX, which was considered cutting-edge from Nvidia, i.e. a 4090 from 2006. Amazing how technology has evolved

[@BulletPr00fGAm3r]

Honestly this GPU was a beast when it came out. In my opinion it was the equivalent 1080ti for its time whose performance lasted a few years. It took AMD a couple of years to be able to respond to this gpu if i remember well. The 8800GT that came out later on gave a bit of relief to gamers, was cheaper but kept most of its performance

[@ErnestJay88]

8800GTX are my "Dream PC" back then (paired with Core 2 Extreme QX6700 quad core, Asus P5B Deluxe and 4 GB DDR 2 ram, WD Velociraptor 10,000 RPM hard drive since SSD wasn't really a thing in 2007) , and it still my "Dream GPU" even thoughts my PC using RTX 3080 😁

[@Rellings]

I had the 8800 GTS Alpha Dog Edition. I remember it came with a "do not disturb" door hanger :)

[@gerald8289]

I bought one when it released, paired with a core2duo e6600 cpu. This GPU was, in terms of generational performance, the absolute goat. Compared to the previous 7800GTX, in most games it was a full 2x improvment. It was the first nvidia gpu to go with a unified architechure over the older pixle pipe style that all previous cards used. It mopped the floor with everything at the time, and was only out done by its own die shrink verions that came later, with the G92 core.

[@DanielCardei]

No leap has been done like this since then.

[@andreaprudente1158]

Crysis was a lot advanced for its time, but was very well optimized, i played at 1366x768 low with a 8500 gt, the gameplay was beatiful at the time

[@stevesmith1383]

It’s also horribly optimized cause it got screwed by CPU advancement, it was built around the concept of super high clock sped cpus which Intel was saying was the future with their Pentium 4 cpus, only for that to bomb and dual core and higher cpus being the future. So crysis add to add multi core support at the last minute and it’s not great. Intel had made claims of 10gh Pentium 4s….and they could barely hit 4ghz Those were weird times

[@jtenorj]

Where the 8800GT performed pretty close to the 8800 GTX for half the price($250 vs the $500 the GTX dropped to by that point a year later), the 9600GT performed closer to a 8800 GTS which launched around $450 and dropped to around $350 I think(for the 640MB model, the 320MB model was like $250) and the 9600 GT launched at close to half price at around $180.

[@Pasi123]

I used a 9600 GT based Quadro FX 1800 for a while in 2013 before upgrading to a GTX 660 in January 2014. The FX 1800 was still quite usable especially when compared to the Intel GMA 3000 I had in my previous computer

Practically no one played at 1080p back then on PC as that was more of TV resolution at that time. 1080p gradually took over as monitors started to be made for that resolution instead of 1200p which bummed me out as I was used to the extra resolution in height.

That's so superb for this old card.. it's nice to always play old games like you did eg Far Cry 3 Skyrim Tom Raider NFS Most Wanted BioShock Infinte Crysis that these being these old look stunning and awesome to eyes even at 720p low/high for less then 750 vram!! That's how we know that the old days are gone for sure.. dev on that period cares about us.. but nowadays it doesn't look like this.. now now we about the realism and graphics.. they don't optimized the title.. for lower end system.. if you want to build a system I would recommend a 750ti/RX550 2gb both less less than 75W almost the same or better in some recent title like for 2017 or less.. and have more vram.. thanks for making these video.. we always support and love you.. pls make more videos like these.. trying old games.. coz we all know the new titles are crap..

In next video can you test a nvidia 6800 GT?

[@Sitharii]

I would like that too (i'd prefer the 6800 Ultra) but it has very low VRAM (256 MB) , it won't be able to perform well in most games. Also ... someone must be extra careful not to buy an AGP version of a 6800GT instead of PCI-e ,since it will be incompatible with modern PCs and waste of money

8800 GTX was my first graphic card. Bought for Crsis 1 :D

2006: Same price but more than 2x the performance. 2023: Same price but sometimes performs worse than the previous gen gpu 🗿

Brings me back to highschool You should retest some of your recently tested cards for cs2 specifically. used to be able to play csgo with older intel igpus, seems to no longer be the case (which makes sense due to the changes made and current optimization). It would be cool to see what actually runs it in the lower spec +/older generations.

I had this exact for for a long time. One of the things i remember about it is how hot it ran. It easily hit 100c under load. And yeah i got it to play Crysis, which it did pretty well! Another thing i remember that it was the first time i splashed my own cash on a prebuilt PC and when i received it i saw my baby (the 8800GTX) out of its bracket in the bottom of the case..
