Conclusion

It's clear from this and my previous reviews that I'm a bit fan of the 8800GT. It came out a bit late in the day - with 9 series just around the corner - but it allowed those who've been wishing after a GTX or Ultra to have near that performance level at a fraction of the cost with a quieter and more efficient cooler.

Now we have the GT Max 1GB from Vvikkoo. It's got a bigger and much improved cooler. It's silent during all operation, load and idle and it overclocks like crazy; standard GTs don't OC much at all. What we have here is the pinnaccle of the 8800GT range but it does have a couple of drawbacks. Its 1GB of memory is largely useless as it doesn't seem to give any real performance advantage in our benchmarks. Also, the RAM cooling could use some work, but apart from that, this card is pretty much perfect; though SFF builders might not find it compatible with their small cases.

All in all, the 8800GT Max from Vvikoo is one hell of a card, and if you can't wait for the 9 series, it's the best bang for buck card around at the moment. It's silent, OCs very well and looks awesome, what more do you want?
