Digit-Life has posted a review on the MSI StarForce822 (MS 8822) NVIDIA GeForce3 based video card.



The MSI StarForce822 (MS 8822) has AGP x2/x4 interface, 64 MBytes DDR SDRAM memory located in 8 chips on the right side of the PCB.

EliteMT produces memory chips with 3.8 ns access time, which corresponds to 260 (520) MHz. Like all other GPU GeForce3 cards, this one works at 200/230 (460) MHz. The memory modules lack for sufficient cooling; heatsinks typical of such fast memory are absent. The card works excellently at the reduced frequency (230 MHz) relatively the rated one (260 MHz). But if the card warms up significantly, especially when the case is closed, it becomes dangerous.
