Eight GeForce 8800 GT graphics cards compared

Because of its outstanding price/performance ratio, the GeForce 8800 GT was the card of choice in our $500 Gaming PC Upgrade article. In the article we directly challenged the notion that you need to spend thousands of dollars to build a nice PC for gaming. In fact, we proved that $500 is all you need to upgrade an existing computer to deliver performance and graphics that were better than any game console from Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft. This is all due in large part thanks to the GeForce 8800 GT.

So in that article we told you to pick up a GeForce 8800 GT as the centerpiece of your system followed by solid components like the Gigabyte motherboard, Athlon 64 X2 4000+ and OCZ RAM playing a supporting role, but we didn’t tell you which GeForce 8800 GT to buy. In today’s article we’re going to take a look at eight of the best GeForce 8800 GT cards on the market right now.
