  • its 2012 and im still use a gtx 8800 and still rocking have no complain at all

  • For stereo watch in 240p.

  • im gonna get a girlfriend and sell her

  • Press 5 and 9 rapidly.

  • this dinosaur dwarfs my msi 9600gt OC!!

  • @tritonmole thats cause the 8800gtx and 9800gtx use the same core. the thing i dont get is my 8800gtx when being compared to the normal 9800gtx not the gtx+ it has better specs in all aspecs of it

  • For a snare drum, please press 9.

  • Thumbs up if ur still using any of 8800 series in 2011 :D !

  • @061575292

    I'm using Gigabyte's 8800 GTX and it's still pushing almost every game on max settings.

  • @Cromadda same here :)

  • the GTX260 core 216 uses 74% more power than a GTX550Ti and uses 35% more power than a GTX460SE. So for you to say that its more on par with a GTX Core 216 when a core 216 its faster than a GTX460 SE and uses more power, so how is that more on par?

  • Is the GTX550ti faster then the 8800GTX

  • @Dakkiller1 yes the GTX550 Ti is faster than the 8800GTX. The GTX550 Ti is pretty much the same speed and performance as my Zotac GTX460 SE

  • @ANDREWOFPR2 I'll be getting a GTX550Ti in the mail in about 2 days.

    LOL, 4 years ago, Getting like a smooth 60FPS at 1080P on PC games of late 2006 and mid 2007 maxed out required that you be a rich fatso (No offense, I'm fat as well)

    4 Years later, Similar performence is now achievable at cheaper prices and lower PSU requirements

  • @ANDREWOFPR2 no ur gtx 460SE is faster , the gtx 550TI is on par with a gtx 260 core 216

  • @elias1995ish In theory a stock GTX260 Core 216 is 3% faster than a stock GTX460 SE and 14% faster than a stock GTX550 Ti were as the GTX460 SE is only 10% faster than a GTX550Ti. plus you cant really compare a GTX260 Core 216 and a GTX550Ti because there different technologys the GTX260 core 216 is 65nm, Directx 10 and uses GDDR3 and the GTX550Ti is 40nm, Directx 11 and uses GDDR5 so to compare it to a GTX460 SE is more fair because its also 40nm Directx 11 and uses GDDR5

  • @ANDREWOFPR2 i knw they are different technology , gtx 200 and gtx 500 , but the 260 is still faster! but that doesn't mean its better , cz the gtx 550ti has dx11 lower power and temps , and its based on 40 narometer

  • @elias1995ish Google Hardware Compare and see the differences

  • back in the day, this was fetish nerd porn

  • looking back at this video, the cards now are like 10x better.

  • Still using my 8800 GTX i got back in December 2006, runs like a charm

  • Single channel audio :d

  • ive been playing battlefield bad company 2 with this card.... it still rapes

  • I still have my one 8800 GTX at home too... still runs Crysis smoothly. But it just sits there now... thinking about selling it... probably won't get jack for it

    But this was a beast of a card!

  • I HAVE 2X SLI PNY 8800GTX .....RUNNING PERFECT FOR 5 YRZ I BUY IT IN 2006 NO PROBS AT ALL!!!!!

  • Audio only comes out on the left channel!

  • @christina555 called MONO! :)

  • the 8800 gt/gts/gtx were the best cards nvidia ever made, they were just perfect.

  • This thing sucks ass. Seriously people, get a new card.

  • Sell your girlfriend, because you won't need her after you get this...

    Was he suggesting that he had sex with that video card?

  • @JundaComputersGmbH No, he was suggesting you watch porn in HD. Duh! ;)

  • @TheCrazyFinn A real girlfriend is better than watching porn right? So why the hell would anyone sell the real thing and don't have the real thing and imagine if they had?

  • @JundaComputersGmbH Depends on the girlfriend. -.-

  • Selling this on Ebay for $80! what a deal!

  • @aaz1992 You can generally grab a HD4850 for $60. This slightly outperforms the 8800 Ultra.

  • LOGAN HERE! WITH ANOTHER FANTAASTIC PRODUCT!!

    haha, reminded me of billy mays

  • NOW IF YOU ARE A COMPLETE PSYCHO , YOU CAN GET TWO OF THESE THINGS !

  • I miss logan .. :(

  • compatible for the HP WORKSTATION Z200 SFF??

  • Logan's first graphics card video review.

  • lmao sell your grandmother !!! problem is no one wanna buy her :'(

  • LOL keep pressing 7

  • TigerTV now sucks!

  • ahahah logan ftw

  • i can not find this card what so ever its like it fell off the earth along with the 9600gt

  • The reason why the g92 chip(8800,9800,gts250) was so successful was partly because of the architecture, and partly because of consoles holding back game development.

  • damn this used to be like a geforce 7800GTX but better

  • I kinda like this Guy....

  • OMFG 2 way sli thats sooo lame haha how did i end up on this video o well back to the 4 way sli videos.

  • @AustralianMovies dude.... this vid is around 4 fucking years old..... btw its 2011 :D... dude 4-way sli SUCKS! GTX 580 tri-sli is wer its at...

  • Great card hands down, played Black ops near maxed today.

    Watch out for "oven baked 8800" cards on ebay when ur buying

  • @legendryfish black ops though isn't graphically great, 8800gtx shouldn't be pulling almost max on it o.O. Which brand of 8800gtx are you using?

  • i have this and i had it over 3 years i play css and get 350 fps with the video stress test and every thing is on the highest settings only thing is you need to make sure ur comp will power it it will come with some power attachments

  • Runnin these sli run like a dream on MW2

  • you look like Logan the wolverine you are Logan too

  • a paper behind the graphic cards or the box make you speak smoothly.......

  • 384 bit interface? Lol, my 7950 GX2 wih is even older has 512 mbit interface...

  • @eilif9

    That's because it's dual GPU and has two 256 bit interfaces, right?

  • @Usul573 Yes

  • @eilif9

    GDDR5 memory mixes things up even more, cards with just a 128 bit interface can be much faster than cards with a 256 bit interface.

  • I miss logan..

  • Hehe! logan you joker! =) Love the way he presents and jokes.

  • When he said you'd be set for a while with the 8800GTX, he was RIGHT

  • @Usul573 true that...  but i'm upgrading today... not bad for 3 years :)

  • @dekadis

    Heh, almost four years, and it's still really good and will keep being good.

  • @Usul573

    Things sure change though, the "only $200 graphics card" he talks about, now one for $140 is much better than the 8800 GTX.

  • @Usul573 yeah - you can still play Crysis 2 on advance (high) settings with just one of these... even after 4 years.

  • @Sandunsa

    I wonder if at any point a game won't run well on a 8800GTX or even 8800GT.

    Unless a game requires DX11, but that's unlikely for a while.

    Of course, no card lasts forever, I would be stunned if one lasts longer than five years.

    Partially because of consoles, partially because of the costs of making a game and how advanced they are now, requirements haven't been going up like they used to. I think every game released to date supports the 8800GT.

  • and be lucky to get 20 fps

  • sell your girlfriend!

  • When are they gona make a video of a 5970

  • @TheGiannispanatha13 Could you ignorant kids shut up about when the HD 5970 video will come out please? Stop going to every single TigerDirect videos just to spam that exact same question, it's so fucking annoying.

  • @vangstaz cry moar?

  • @hacker13sacker i noo undoostud wha yu sae. Learn to type better. You're just as ignorant as a baby :D

  • @vangstaz Learn to type better? I purposely wrote that wrong.... learn to sarcasm brah.

    Also learn English please before responding. stop being so sensitive on the internet.

  • @hacker13sacker Jeezlaweez kid, what did daddy do to you that made you so mad eh?

  • @vangstaz :D

  • @mraleks321 ur a fucking dumbass... if the 8800gtx is $400 than a would be $1200... fucktard make sense before u type... it will be the same ratio whatever you put it... but ur too stupid to realize that...

  • ur retarted u would dump their gf for s video card woow

  • @mraleks321 no it doesnt dumbass... that was the original price and yes some people sell it for that price because they had it in stock since then... this card is discontinued and really no one sells it as this generation... think before you comment, u can get this card for $80...

  • its mono

  • LOGAN SHOULD TALK ABOUT the 5970 and the gtx 480...

  • I got this card to replace a other 8800gtx it fried today playing tf2 it was not even 6 months used

  • yes the HD 2900XT can beat it very easly!

  • @AeroFix94 what are you talking about? the HD2xxx ati series were the worst ati cards of all time LOL

  • @juanvarelareboredo in a other video review he does! he says the HD2900XT beats it!

  • @AeroFix94 when and where? i want to see it

  • @juanvarelareboredo watch?v=9k_Rh8RK_eU

  • haha, this video was made three years ago, this card was the top of th e line. now you can get a card like this for $100 and the top of the line now is around $500

  • @gschreiber94 4 years

  • why does this video have MONO sound?

  • @nelizmastr Change resolution from 360p to 480p and you get stereo sound :) (or at least sound in both sides)

  • @nelizmastr its 3 years old

  • this card is probably one of the most long lived nvidia card

  • the most impressive thing is, the 4 year old 8800gx still owns at games while 4 year old ati cards suck....

  • @neonzion7 shutup fanboy no one cares

  • @jackJber lol thats why i got thumbs up rofl... im not a fanboy dick fuck... i only speak the truth... and smart people agree with the truth... i said 4 year old nvidias OWN THE SHIT out of 4 year old ati's... doesnt mean its the same today... pay attention and learn to understand...

  • @neonzion7 uhh, ok.. im a dickfuck. gotcha. so why u arguing with a dickfuck? sounds like u need to find beter things to do than watching youtube videos, and calling people dickfucks that call u a fanboy. im just saying. if u dont want people arguing back with ur statments u make... dont make statments like that. :P

  • @jackJber ??? yeah DICKFUCK, you were SO wrong that you decided to change the subject rofl??? wtf does this have to do with me dumbass...

  • @neonzion7 Ahhh hahahaha!

  • @neonzion7 That's right. I have a 8800GTX. My friend bought a .. umm. ATI HD 4800 series graphics card, and that blows ass. GTX way better. So yeah. Right now it costs about 100 bucks, with accelero cooling and u cant get better in that price range.

  • @jooodik yep thats what im saying.... rofl whats even funnier is that the 4800 series is 2 years old.... hahaha imagine 4 year old ati cards rofl.... thats why NVIDIA was the king and why fanboys like me were anygry.... im glad i bought a gtx 460 though XD

  • @neonzion7 Fanboys suck!

  • @Lionheart1188 fanboys? Yes i agree, I am a fanboy of good quality products that last probably over 5 years with still great performance. I never said ATI in general sucked, i ment ATI took a while to catch up with their 3xxx cards... I am POSITIVE the 8800gtx can a lot over the graphics settings in any game release yet. With other good parts, it can max games out, TO THIS DAY. Im just saying, when you spend your hard earned cash, you want to take full advantage of what u got :D

  • @neonzion7 Oh ok my bad, I've always heard good things about the 8800GTX, sucks I never got too use on :P

  • @Lionheart1188 HA its okay man. I used it very few times. I loved it, and still love it. I once had the honor to test 3 back in late 08. (haha that rhymed) anyways yeah with the good drivers in that time, wow it was FAST! lmao

  • @neonzion7 Lol cool bro, I kind of miss those days of gaming. Hmmm I wonder if I could find one on ebay :P

  • @Lionheart1188 They sell cheap on ebay... my buddy has a 8800gtx and a e6500 with 6gb ddr2... he can max crysis out, max sims 3 out, almost max gta 4 out, and max many other games out. :D they sell cheap on ebay and really they are owrth the prices on ebay. They wer not worth the price yesterday but today yeah :D yesterday was black friday so u could get like a 5670 for $80 :D... 

  • @neonzion7 Aahh nice, I just checked ebay and found some pretty cheap 8800 Ultra's, man they look nice, I could grab one for around $100 each :P if only I had money too waste :(

  • @Lionheart1188 yeah haha ive seen them. its not worth $100 though. Around $70/free ship should be the perfect price cuz u can get a used gtx 260 for like $110 :D

  • @neonzion7 Ah I see, damn a GTX 260 for $110, thats nice, I only have a GT 240 1GB lol, it does the job for now, waiting for GTX 595 hopefully nvidia will release one eventually :)

  • @Lionheart1188 yeah that is nice. HAHA its a good card for the price. I have a GTX 460 :D yeah ive seen sum video on it. its a rumor, a most likely true one too. I hope it is cuz i wanna see how fast that would be :D

  • While I do prefer Nvidia unless you upgrade every 3 years you will be lagging so 5 years doesn't matter

  • @thereddog223 lagging??? WTF r u talking about. The 8800GTX is nearly 5 years old. It can STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLL game at medium-high settings at a nice med-high res. Put 3 of those monsters together and you will nearly max out most games at a nice high res.. Even one is fine. The 8800GTX is fucking beast. HALF A FUCKING DECADE and Nvidia products still destroy.

  • dude I like Nvidia I have a dual gtx 260 setup I am probably lagging abit my self if you want to have modern graphics you need to buy a new gpu every 3 years

  • @thereddog223 theres no way GTX 260 SLI is lagging unless you running at 2560x1600 with 16xaa everything full detail... If you buy the HIGHEST end, it will last around 4 years. Until 2008, a 6800gt was still minimum req and would run nicely even tho it was made in 2004. Or in 2009, a 7900GT would still run fine but yet still needed an upgrade. But like i said, the 8xxx series changed the world.

  • @neonzion7 lol fanboy

  • @tomcatdcn fanboy to nvidia? meh... fanboy to the truth? hell yeah

  • @neonzion7 They were always pretty similar in performance. Just like they are today. Nvidia chips are always a little faster, but not so fast that it would be a deal breaker.

  • @tomcatdcn nowadays that may be, but when the 8xxx series was JUST released, it was absolutely obliteration of any and all cards for nearly over 1 year. Nearly 2 in fact. :) ATI/AMD has grown a lot since then, but i will stick to the classics. Nvidia :)

  • @neonzion7 Well, to each their own. :)

  • 2:45 LMFAO!!!

  • wtf?

    i got the same one but i got the 1Gb one lol

  • he really needs a girlfreind :P

  • @mr931126 he's married-.-

  • Comment removed

  • Sell your Boyfreinds hahahahahahah

  • sell gurlfriend hmmm thanks for the thought :)

  • nerdgasm much ? XD

  • i have a 1 PCI-E 8X Slot...will that fit in it?

  • it probably will fit but i wont work optimal, x16 lane is recommended

  • what do you mean by optimal??...i cant use the whole performance of the VC?

  • yes, i probably will think it'll run at a slower speed

  • SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

    sorry if this is a stupid question... but can someone help? i know this is older than the gtx260 1.8gb, but is it better or worse than it? i know the 260 is much newer and so should be better, but this was way ahead of its time so i was wondering. thanks.

  • GTX 260, any of them>>8800 GTX

    Trust me

    448 bit versus 384 bit

    896 MBs versus 768 MBs

    192 or 216 cores versus 128 cores

  • ok thanks, thought so, and i brought the 1.8gb 260 gtx.

    its not a bad card, but im slightly dissapointed with its performance on crysis... it lags a lot on high settings and sometimes even on medium even though i have 3.07ghz i7 950 and 8gb of ram...

  • Really?

    The GTX 260 should be able to do medium settings at 1920x1200 in Crysis at about 42 FPS, and probably still playable at high.

  • i know... thats why im surprised... do you know if there is anything i can do to increase gaming performance, i mean, all i do is put the CD and launch the game, is there a way to make my computer work at a higher performance for games? or can i make the graphics card better from the nvidia control panel? thanks.

  • The game, graphics card and everything else are all fully updated right?

    Are you using all high settings?

    With Crysis I experimented with all the settings to see which ones affect FPS more than quality.

    What resolution also?

    Not using AF or AA right?

    Also good to have as little running in the background as possible.

    Not overheating or anything right? And have a good power supply?

  • yeah everythings fully updated, im using all high settings, with AA off, not sure about AF i might need to check that...

    nothing else running in the backrground, no overheating and yeah a good power supply. im on 2048X1152 resolution so ille lower that and make sure AF is off and try again...

    but thanks for everything :)

  • No prob.

    Should be a good card for just about anything.

    That one has 216 cores, right?

    Hard to believe it was $400 back in the day, now it's $180 and it's better than ever.

  • i honestly dont know how many cores it has... but all i know is it is a 1.8GB 260 GTX.

  • my $124 evga 8800gt has a much bigger core speed than that.

  • core speed ins't everything

  • OMFG A GOD OF GFX CARDS!!!!!!!

  • 2:45

  • Spose this vids quite out of date now. :/

  • emailed the guy like 2 weeks ago about a graphic card question and i have yet received a reply x.x

  • The guy doesn't work at tiger direct anymore.

  • ah's thx for the info

  • He doesn't work for Tigerdirect anymore.

  • Comment removed

  • Gdd..ddr lol..

  • is this the same as 9800 gtx? if it is then prolly its the same as 250 gts

  • on newegg right now for $ 99

  • Yeah I got one for me and my brother.

    They are recertified and working very well.

    The best $100 I spent.

  • FUTUREPROOF!

    The Nvidia card was made in late 2006

    I gave my old core2/8800gtxPC to my granny when my grlfrd gave me GTX280

  • Can you fit a pci express graphics card into a pci?it seems like a silly question,but the graphics card i got right now is the 6200...yeah i know it's OLD

  • yes it's fit perfect, I had geforce 6600gt and now I have 8800gtx

  • Nah, PCI and PIC-E are 2 very different ports

  • no, you cant do that, you will need another PCI Graphics card unless you have an available PCIe slot.

  • Comment removed

  • hahah that would be funny to watch someone try

  • you can fit it in there quite easily

    the only tool you'll need is a 12 lb hammer ;-)

  • @sarge958 no there 2 different slots

  • oh my god i love this dude!

  • When are they gona make a video of a 5870?

  • @Ultravideoslave never, tigerdirect likes nvidia better hahaha jk

  • @Ultravideoslave they have already! :D but not with logan :D

  • Those were the days ware if you had one every one else drooled and envied you. Now its the 5870 or gtx295

  • I know They sure did:D

    Still had mine since release.

  • Shut up fags ,Im running a Nvidia Geforce 7300LE...WHAT son!!!!...lol

  • 7300LE's are for noobs that play CS 1.6 lol

  • lol $200 can buy you a gtx 275 right now

    and it only took 2 years wow

  • Still running two of these beauties and they do just fine

  • damn... I'm still running on 1 of these... but I do think about upgrading to something better and faster too

  • Wtf, after watching this video I understand why Albert is reviewing products now.

  • I still use one of these and it still plays the newest games at full speed.

  • Nvidia GeForce GTX 295

    is best knaw tho but still woo!

    i used to have a nividia geforce 6600
