My Zotac against GTS 640MB and GTX

I just found a review which pitted my Zotac 8800 GT against Foxconn 8800 GTS 640 MB and MSI 8800 GTX. There is not much review for one as most Zotac card reviewed till today are the AMP version (700 MHz core clock).

To cut the story short, it seems that Zotac 8800 GT equals the performance of GTX in most benchmarks in the review, except in World in Conflict and 3DMark06 (meh!) and certainly whoop GTS 640 MB's butt big time. Even in Crysis, Zotac 8800 GT tops GTX in every tested resolution (a bit strange though, perhaps there's something wrong with the driver?).

It seems that Foxconn and MSI are factory-overclocked configurations too, just look at the table below.

	MSI GeForce 8800 GTX	FOXCONN GeForce 8800 GTS	ZOTAC GeForce 8800 GT
Stream Processors	128	96	112
Core Clock (MHz)	610	600	660
Shader Clock (MHz)	1350	1200	1500
Memory Clock (MHz)	1000	1030	900
Video RAM (MB)	768	640	512
Memory Interface	384-bit	320-bit	256-bit
Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec)	86.4	64	57.6
Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec)	36.8	24	33.6

The review is also a good read for average, mainstream gamers like me who still stuck with 19" LCD monitor, hence play at 1280x1024 res max. To be honest, there are, but not much reviews today that really provide benchmarks around those resolution. I mean, most reviews are chasing for hi-def gaming benchies or some sort. Come on man, don't leave gamers like us behind!
