This brings back so much memories. I bought a 9800 GT 1GB back in those days, just so I can play Crysis. That GPU played more games than any other GPU I've ever owned since then.

155W might not seem like much today but just 3 years before the 8800GTX the FX5900 Ultra used 59W and that was ridiculed for being hot and power hungry. How things have changed. Of course the coolers back then were much smaller. On my first GPU the 9600Pro it had only a tiny 40mm fan and a minuscule heat sink.
Remember the hotbox GTX480? That was absolutely slammed for it's power usage and nowadays the same wattage is considered extremely efficient. God knows what they would have made of my 7900XT sitting at 355 watts.
Some people may not remember, but 8800GTX was monster of a card. Back in 2006 it could handle every game on the market at 2560x1600 resolution and maximum settings. When Oblivion launched in early 2006, there was no card that could do 30 fps (!) on maximum settings. Then 8800GTX released in late '06 and it could handle Oblivion on maximum settings at 2560x1600. It was massive improvement over previous generations - 7800GTX and 6800 Ultra. 2000's were arguably best times for gaming industry ever.
Love this type of tests, back in time this card was my dream :) I had 8600 GT from gigabyte with radiator only, without any fan and it was beautiful as hell :)
its realy good and nostalgic to see those games in 2023 i played them when i was young around 20 to 30 fps and 800x600p and i was enjoying every single one of them ...such a nice days
I would consider the 8800 GTX (specifically the G80 GPU) to be Nvidia's 2nd most important graphics card they ever released, only beaten by the original Geforce 256. That's how awesome and landmark this product was. It really took the wind out of the PS3's sails, being over twice as powerful as the PS3's RSX GPU (itself a cutdown 7800GTX GPU), despite both being released within an earshot of eachother. Unified shader architecture really was a huge deal moving forward and sharing that aspect with the Xbox 360's Xenos (the first production unified shader GPU) lent well to porting games between PC and 360. Pre-unified shader GPUs became obsolete overnight, Nvidia's most of all. As many others are saying, a version with more VRAM (1.5 GB to preserve memory bus) would've extended it's legs a bit longer, though it would've been crazy expensive. Personally I was willing to afford the much cheaper 8800 GTS 320 MB when some managed to become available in early 2007 at the local Fry's Electronics. Even the cut down G80 with less than half the VRAM of the GTX blew my mind.
Interesting fact: the 9800GT was a mid-range card from 2008, which manages to have the same performance as an 8800GTX, which was considered cutting-edge from Nvidia, i.e. a 4090 from 2006. Amazing how technology has evolved
8800GTX are my "Dream PC" back then (paired with Core 2 Extreme QX6700 quad core, Asus P5B Deluxe and 4 GB DDR 2 ram, WD Velociraptor 10,000 RPM hard drive since SSD wasn't really a thing in 2007) , and it still my "Dream GPU" even thoughts my PC using RTX 3080 😁
I bought one when it released, paired with a core2duo e6600 cpu. This GPU was, in terms of generational performance, the absolute goat. Compared to the previous 7800GTX, in most games it was a full 2x improvment. It was the first nvidia gpu to go with a unified architechure over the older pixle pipe style that all previous cards used. It mopped the floor with everything at the time, and was only out done by its own die shrink verions that came later, with the G92 core.
It’s also horribly optimized cause it got screwed by CPU advancement, it was built around the concept of super high clock sped cpus which Intel was saying was the future with their Pentium 4 cpus, only for that to bomb and dual core and higher cpus being the future. So crysis add to add multi core support at the last minute and it’s not great. Intel had made claims of 10gh Pentium 4s….and they could barely hit 4ghz Those were weird times
@@stevesmith1383ah yes i remember gigahertz war, when İntel and AMD compete who has highest clock speed, and those chips damn hot, i remember when overclock give massive performance
Honestly this GPU was a beast when it came out. In my opinion it was the equivalent 1080ti for its time whose performance lasted a few years. It took AMD a couple of years to be able to respond to this gpu if i remember well. The 8800GT that came out later on gave a bit of relief to gamers, was cheaper but kept most of its performance
I remember mine, it was a BFG card. lifetime warranty and was absolutely a beast of its time. Before this I had been using 2 ati (YES ati) x1950 pros in crossfire and this thing roasted them. Even the gts was damned good too.
Man… brings back memories. The last custom pc I ever built myself was an E8400 system with 8800 gt in SLI. Was a beast of a system. Finally bit the bullet and bought a prebuilt gaming system this month after all these years.
Where the 8800GT performed pretty close to the 8800 GTX for half the price($250 vs the $500 the GTX dropped to by that point a year later), the 9600GT performed closer to a 8800 GTS which launched around $450 and dropped to around $350 I think(for the 640MB model, the 320MB model was like $250) and the 9600 GT launched at close to half price at around $180.
I used a 9600 GT based Quadro FX 1800 for a while in 2013 before upgrading to a GTX 660 in January 2014. The FX 1800 was still quite usable especially when compared to the Intel GMA 3000 I had in my previous computer
@@Z3t487 owned the ultra. what made it a horrible gpu was the ram. why nvidia thought that was enough just *pew* and it wasnt even a GB 800+$ gpu when it launched and what i paid. whats that in todays money? yeah nvidia has always done it.
@@Z3t487 man those were the days huh? when it wasnt really a thought to get one. paying top dollar for top-o-line. just crazy how times change. (i was 27 at the time with a house and kids. oh how times change.)
Seeing the marvel of technology that is the Geforce 8800 GTX it introduced unified shaders, Cuda technology, first DX10 native support and still held it's own 7 years later up to 2013, that truly makes it a legendary card.
Oh man, i remember reading about this almighty GPU in gaming magazines back in the day and imagining how outta this world it was... I miss those days, ngl.
Man, I love these videos. I actually have one of these around still, I pretty much only keep it around because Far Cry 2 completely freaks out on my normal graphics card, which is a RTX 3060.
@Ciffer-1998 No, I tried the Steam version and the GOG version. What happens is that the in-game physics start going completely wild, it apparently has something to do with the framerate. You should be able to fix it by limiting the games framerate somehow, but I honestly enjoy playing it on my old 8800 GTX.
I got the one right after this. The 8800GTS 512MB which was on par with the GTX and used a smaller 65nm chip. Great cards for the time. At the time I was playing COD2 mostly and was able to easily max out all settings
Recently found your channel, and I must say...Your content has quickly become one of my favorites in the genre. You have a great style of presentation, and useful information within. You remind me alot of the original RUclipsr I started watching in 2010-2011. Have you ever heard of AnderzEl? The content is different, but you both sound very alike. keep killin it homie! Cheers!
My first GPU was a 8600GS, I had no idea about cards, but I knew the prices. That thing barely ran the games at the time I wanted it to, but I didn't know better. Next upgrade after that was a GTX 280 launch week. Man that was a huge step up until it was instantly obsolete in two years...
I remember thinkig 8800 owners were so lucky because they could play doom 3 with the settings turned up. Now I'm using a gtx680 in my spare pc, and it's fun to try all the 10 year old games in my steam backlog
Had this card. Used to have to bake it in the oven about every 6 months towards it's end of life cycle. The heat would resolder the connections and it would work again. Did it 3x. Old trick.
Kryzzp you should give Magpie fsr and lossless scaling a try with old older games that do not natively support FSR! it should be a banger of a video of its own 😁
Back in the day I don't even care about the game detail as long I can play the game without lagging. This card was on everybody wishlist and SLI it was a wet dream.
yes, i have similar card from Leadtek.8800GTS512, GPU: G92-A2 released Dec2007 at 650-1625mhz, 128shaders, 65nm, 330mm², 754M transistors, 16 rop 64 tmu, dx10 card, 1x6pin 12v power, 256bit bus, 512MB ddr3 at 972mhz tested on Win10 with drv 342.01, Bench 3Dmark03 score: 1363
MAN. That Thumbnail got me! It was my Card back in the Day! I mean, almost hehe. I had the XFX 8800 GTS. But same Cooler and Design. And yes, it COULD run fucking Crysis. A Fried had the Black Beast. The 8800 GTX ULTRA. Cases had to be cut out for it to fit. And what did he play? WoW. .. :D
That's so superb for this old card.. it's nice to always play old games like you did eg Far Cry 3 Skyrim Tom Raider NFS Most Wanted BioShock Infinte Crysis that these being these old look stunning and awesome to eyes even at 720p low/high for less then 750 vram!! That's how we know that the old days are gone for sure.. dev on that period cares about us.. but nowadays it doesn't look like this.. now now we about the realism and graphics.. they don't optimized the title.. for lower end system.. if you want to build a system I would recommend a 750ti/RX550 2gb both less less than 75W almost the same or better in some recent title like for 2017 or less.. and have more vram.. thanks for making these video.. we always support and love you.. pls make more videos like these.. trying old games.. coz we all know the new titles are crap..
I recently built a nostalgia build with the same specs as my mom's computer that I gamed on when I was a kid. It has a Core 2 Duo E8400, 9800 GTX+, 4GB of DDR2, and Windows XP. One major difference is that it has an SSD.
That's pretty similar to my fastest XP rig, E8400 @ 3.5GHz, 9800 GTX+, 8GB DDR2, 32GB SSD for XP and 500GB HDD for Linux. Sadly I didn't have access to anything that fast back in the day. My mom's laptop (which was basically the family computer) had a Celeron M 370 1.5GHz, Radeon Xpress 200M, 512MB RAM and my dad's desktop had a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, some old Matrox, 1GB RAM. And my own PC only had a Celeron 333MHz, Riva TNT, 384MB RAM
I got an 8600GT inside an old core 2 duo E6850 and a screen that's 1280X1024 resolution. It's also equipped with the insane amount of 2GB DDR2 Ram 🤣 This is an ancient ASUS pre-built, for office use I presume! It is ideal for retro gaming though ,although it desperately needs a hard drive (SSD Ideally ) and, at least, 4GBs more RAM. I used to have some DDR2 sticks lying around, but I think they didn't work. If I was around I would happily hand it to you for testing (I mean the whole system) , but I live in Greece, where shipping costs are insane for some things.. This video, was super fun!
They will never will make a card like this !! Locking back in time if you compare the power of the card with others ( in the same period !! Piece of history
Back when I was at uni I got one of the first DTR laptops, which had a 17" screen and an 8800GTM GPU, which was pretty crazy at the time! It was absolutely huge... but I still carried it with me everywhere 😂. It ran Call of Duty 2 beautifully :D
Love your videos Kryzzp. Especially when I am stressed. I usually watch the same videos of yours a couple of times. Love your positivity and humbleness. Truly a WHOLESOME benchmarker you are. And a LEGENDARY one at that. Hats off to you my friend! 🎩😁. You'd know what that means in terms of awards.😝
I had this exact for for a long time. One of the things i remember about it is how hot it ran. It easily hit 100c under load. And yeah i got it to play Crysis, which it did pretty well! Another thing i remember that it was the first time i splashed my own cash on a prebuilt PC and when i received it i saw my baby (the 8800GTX) out of its bracket in the bottom of the case..
I still have one of these GPU's laying around! ... A few more generations of Nvidia GPU releases and I can sell it as a "lightly used Nvidia 8000 series GPU!" 🤣
I remember drooling over this card like it was yesterday...only to get a 8600 gt instead, because that's all I could afford. We can now get GPUs at ~5000%(techpowerup) the performace.
I remember wanting this card so bad but settled on a 8800gt a little while later. Watching maxishine run 8800 ultra tri SLI trying to conquer crysis was awesome.

this is great. I remember getting this card to play Arma: Armed Assault. Amazing card
Man, I love these videos. I actually have one of these around still, I pretty much only keep it around because Far Cry 2 completely freaks out on my normal graphics card, which is a RTX 3060.
@Ciffer-1998 No, I tried the Steam version and the GOG version. What happens is that the in-game physics start going completely wild, it apparently has something to do with the framerate. You should be able to fix it by limiting the games framerate somehow, but I honestly enjoy playing it on my old 8800 GTX.
I got the one right after this. The 8800GTS 512MB which was on par with the GTX and used a smaller 65nm chip. Great cards for the time. At the time I was playing COD2 mostly and was able to easily max out all settings
I love this guy! Always seem so positive on every video and his videos are helpful and entertaining at the same time.
Best channel for benchmarking GPUs
I used to have a 8800GTS back in the day with a core 2 duo and 6gb ram
used to play bf3 64 player servers,
thing was a beast back in the days.
Recently found your channel, and I must say...Your content has quickly become one of my favorites in the genre. You have a great style of presentation, and useful information within. You remind me alot of the original RUclipsr I started watching in 2010-2011. Have you ever heard of AnderzEl? The content is different, but you both sound very alike. keep killin it homie! Cheers!
Never saw this gpu, great video
Hello guys kryzzp here. THE LEGENDARY LINE😂😂. I REALLY LOVE IT❤
This is the GPU that made me lust over high end hardware my whole life, i wasn’t able to afford it as a kid which made me obsessive over hardware
My first GPU was a 8600GS, I had no idea about cards, but I knew the prices.
That thing barely ran the games at the time I wanted it to, but I didn't know better. Next upgrade after that was a GTX 280 launch week. Man that was a huge step up until it was instantly obsolete in two years...
This card was the peak of performance. The amount of power a GPU received from the previous model.
Don't ever sell it 😂
I remember thinkig 8800 owners were so lucky because they could play doom 3 with the settings turned up. Now I'm using a gtx680 in my spare pc, and it's fun to try all the 10 year old games in my steam backlog
Had this card. Used to have to bake it in the oven about every 6 months towards it's end of life cycle. The heat would resolder the connections and it would work again. Did it 3x. Old trick.
I wanted an 8800 so bad when it released. This takes me back to my first gaming laptop.
Kryzzp you should give Magpie fsr and lossless scaling a try with old older games that do not natively support FSR! it should be a banger of a video of its own 😁
Back in the day I don't even care about the game detail as long I can play the game without lagging. This card was on everybody wishlist and SLI it was a wet dream.
yes, i have similar card from Leadtek.8800GTS512, GPU: G92-A2 released Dec2007 at 650-1625mhz, 128shaders, 65nm, 330mm², 754M transistors, 16 rop 64 tmu, dx10 card, 1x6pin 12v power, 256bit bus, 512MB ddr3 at 972mhz tested on Win10 with drv 342.01, Bench 3Dmark03 score: 1363
MAN. That Thumbnail got me! It was my Card back in the Day! I mean, almost hehe. I had the XFX 8800 GTS. But same Cooler and Design. And yes, it COULD run fucking Crysis.
A Fried had the Black Beast. The 8800 GTX ULTRA. Cases had to be cut out for it to fit. And what did he play? WoW. .. :D
Oh god this was my absolute dream when I started building my first gaming pc. Just could afford a 8600gt😂
That's so superb for this old card.. it's nice to always play old games like you did eg Far Cry 3 Skyrim Tom Raider NFS Most Wanted BioShock Infinte Crysis that these being these old look stunning and awesome to eyes even at 720p low/high for less then 750 vram!! That's how we know that the old days are gone for sure.. dev on that period cares about us.. but nowadays it doesn't look like this.. now now we about the realism and graphics.. they don't optimized the title.. for lower end system.. if you want to build a system I would recommend a 750ti/RX550 2gb both less less than 75W almost the same or better in some recent title like for 2017 or less.. and have more vram.. thanks for making these video.. we always support and love you.. pls make more videos like these.. trying old games.. coz we all know the new titles are crap..
I had a 8800 GTS it was a monster :) it had 320 MB and 320 BIT
GeForce 8800 GTX was a real extream back in the day, biggest die ever made until then.
I recently built a nostalgia build with the same specs as my mom's computer that I gamed on when I was a kid. It has a Core 2 Duo E8400, 9800 GTX+, 4GB of DDR2, and Windows XP. One major difference is that it has an SSD.
That's pretty similar to my fastest XP rig, E8400 @ 3.5GHz, 9800 GTX+, 8GB DDR2, 32GB SSD for XP and 500GB HDD for Linux.
Sadly I didn't have access to anything that fast back in the day. My mom's laptop (which was basically the family computer) had a Celeron M 370 1.5GHz, Radeon Xpress 200M, 512MB RAM and my dad's desktop had a Pentium 4 2.8GHz, some old Matrox, 1GB RAM. And my own PC only had a Celeron 333MHz, Riva TNT, 384MB RAM
Your videos are amazing bro . I have been watching your videos for a long time, I really enjoy .
Love from India ❤
Remember it was my first decent gaming PC, had two of 8800gtx paired with q6600. What a times
I got an 8600GT inside an old core 2 duo E6850 and a screen that's 1280X1024 resolution. It's also equipped with the insane amount of 2GB DDR2 Ram 🤣
This is an ancient ASUS pre-built, for office use I presume!
It is ideal for retro gaming though ,although it desperately needs a hard drive (SSD Ideally ) and, at least, 4GBs more RAM. I used to have some DDR2 sticks lying around, but I think they didn't work.
If I was around I would happily hand it to you for testing (I mean the whole system) , but I live in Greece, where shipping costs are insane for some things..
This video, was super fun!
It’s crazy that Integrated Graphics are several dozen times faster then this and yet the is somehow faster then the GT 710💀
They will never will make a card like this !! Locking back in time if you compare the power of the card with others ( in the same period !! Piece of history
I had this one. As most of these cards, my card failed after some time.
Back when I was at uni I got one of the first DTR laptops, which had a 17" screen and an 8800GTM GPU, which was pretty crazy at the time! It was absolutely huge... but I still carried it with me everywhere 😂. It ran Call of Duty 2 beautifully :D
that must've been super expensive at the time!
I had a G103M laptop in 2009, it was terrible but I still enjoyed MW2 at 25 fps hahaha
Love your videos Kryzzp. Especially when I am stressed. I usually watch the same videos of yours a couple of times. Love your positivity and humbleness.
Truly a WHOLESOME benchmarker you are. And a LEGENDARY one at that. Hats off to you my friend! 🎩😁.
You'd know what that means in terms of awards.😝
I had this exact for for a long time. One of the things i remember about it is how hot it ran. It easily hit 100c under load. And yeah i got it to play Crysis, which it did pretty well!
Another thing i remember that it was the first time i splashed my own cash on a prebuilt PC and when i received it i saw my baby (the 8800GTX) out of its bracket in the bottom of the case..
love the vids, shoutout from brazil
I still have one of these GPU's laying around! ... A few more generations of Nvidia GPU releases and I can sell it as a "lightly used Nvidia 8000 series GPU!" 🤣
I remember drooling over this card like it was yesterday...only to get a 8600 gt instead, because that's all I could afford. We can now get GPUs at ~5000%(techpowerup) the performace.
When 2008 is back in the day 😮
i have this stuff but gts version. the item have speed bus 320 bit and 320 mb memory , so it can play cod mw 2 smoothly.
I remember wanting this card so bad but settled on a 8800gt a little while later. Watching maxishine run 8800 ultra tri SLI trying to conquer crysis was awesome.
Awesome Sunday video! Would like see Far Cry 2 run on this one as well.
This was a nice nostalgia trip
Back when video cards looked like video cards
Back when Nvidia had "imagination"
i almost watch you,all video like always GPU very excited.
8800 GTX was my first graphic card. Bought for Crsis 1 :D
my first gpu!
That 384 bit bus really helps it
