XFX 8800GT XXX 256MB Alpha Dog Review

There's a saying that goes 'The best things in life are free'. While that may be true, the best performing video cards are the exact opposite of free. They are downright expensive. So when a video card that performs every bit as fast as the big boys has a sticker price close to half of what they cost, it gets a lot of attention. In case you don't know I am referring to the 8800GT from Nvidia. This amazing card has brought performance levels never before seen in the sub $300 price range. But even that is out of the reach for many people. For the rest of us our boat has arrived! Introducing the XFX 8800GT XXX 256MB Alpha Dog video card. Difficult to pronounce in one breath name aside, this is the video card you want to own. With its single slot cooling design and smaller, more energy efficient 65nm design this card has everything a gamer could want. Now let's see if it's as good in real life as it is on paper.
