Bits and Box

The 8800 comes in a huge box completely covered with a large rendering of some kind of ruin; seems like an odd choice of background for a intuitive product. Also on the front is the oddly proportioned Gainward "8800 Lady"; with an oversized body and pre-op features. Gainward should realise that we like the ATI sword wielding girl and the Sapphire cyborg lady, there's no room for small headed, masculine looking women in the world of GPU box covers!

The back of the box has a screenshot from upcoming DX10 game Crysis along with some performance comparison figures between top end Nvidia hardware. Oddly there is also a couple of pictures from Tomb Raider: Legend to show the difference between integrated graphics and a "Dedicated Geforce" card. Not surprisingly the differences were great; bet you want to buy it now you know its better than integrated eh?

Inside the box, a wealth of treasures awaits you. Along with the GPU itself you have: 2 dashingly red DVI-VGA converters, a host of DVD and media software, a manual and some assorted cables.

Gainward 8800GTX Vs. Integrated

Bit of a shame not to see some games bundled with this card as it is aimed at gamers; though of course there will be those wanting to take full advantage of Vista's Aero prettyness.
