BFG 8800GTS (OC):

BFG’s 8800GTS OC (320Mb) comes in a stylish box, however it’s not all style over substance as a number of the cards features are listed on the front of the box such as the amount of memory and the various forms of output provided. Also on the packaging is a very useful section which explains to the less technical end user what type of bus the card runs on. BFG’s bundle isn’t the greatest we’ve ever seen however the essential cables are provided and there is a plentiful level of documentation to assist with installing and setting up the card.

Shown below is the card itself, the design used on the packaging is continued on the heat sink, albeit in a different colour scheme. There is also a sticker on the cards fan which identifies this as the overclocked version of the card. The clock rates used on this particular model are 550 MHz core, 1300 MHz stream processor and 1600 MHz memory. Interestingly the core and stream clocks are above the reference design of 500/1200 however the memory clock remains at the reference level, very strange considering the card is an overclocked version.

Other than the core and stream processor clocks being above the normal specification the card follows the reference design to the letter. SLI is supported as is HDTV out, HDCP and dual link DVI.
