Graphics: XFX 8800 GT 512 PV-T88P-YDF4
Every generation of GPU releases invariably results in a card that manages to bridge the difference between the high-end performance monsters and the VFM market. The 8800 GT is one such card that, after extensive reviews, has been found to keep up with its elder brothers and easily bypass anything available in lower ranges.
The XFX 8800 GT comes with a clock speed of 600MHz and a memory clock of 1800MHz running on GDDR3 RAM. It is DX10 compatible and offers the full slew of features common on Nvidia-based chipsets, including SLI support and HDCP readiness. For a detailed specification chart, please see this link.
The card we have listed here is the base version of the 8800 GT. There are two or three variations, which offer elevated performances but at higher costs – and thus put themselves out of our budget.
Sound (onboard): Realtek ALC888
The Realtek ALC888 is an excellent 8.1 multi-channel capable sound chip which makes it perfect for both gaming and movies.
