Zaključak

8800GS nije loša kartica, no vremenski prozor koji joj je dan
na tržištu je jednostavno premali. Nešto više mjesec dana je dijelilo launch
ove kartice od launcha 9600GT modela. S obzirom da je cijena vrlo slična nema
nikakve dvojbe da će 9600GT biti i već je popularnija. U ponekim testovima
je overclockana 800GS čak i brža od tvornički overclockanog
9600GT modela, no čim prijeđemo na zahtjevnije naslove ne može držati korak.
Za cca. 1400kn koliko Hrvatski dućani traže za ovu karticu može se nabaviti
solidna 9600GT kartica, ili pak Radeon HD3870 sa 512MB GDDR4 memorije. Svakako
je potrebno je napomenuti kako su Asusove kartice oduvijek bile skuplji od
kartica ostalih proizvođača, no zato i nerijetko puno kvalitetnije. Na kraju
se ipak čini kako će 8800GS ostati model koji ćemo kratko pamtiti.

Srednji tržišni segment grafičkih kartica nikad nije bio puniji
i tu možemo birati sve od HD3850 256MB modela koji košta ispod 1000kn, pa
sve do brze Zotacove 9600GT AMP! koja bi mogla koštati oko 1500kn kada se
pojavi na našem tržištu. Što ćete na kraju odabrati ovisi o Vama i Vašim afinitetima.

 

Conclusion

8800GS is not a bad graphic card, but its market time frame
is just to narrow. Just a little over one month separated the launch of this
model and the launch of 9600GT model. Being similarly priced, 9600GT is an
obvious and logical choice. In few tests overclocked 8800GS is even a bit
faster then factory overclocked 9600GT AMP! model, but as soon as we got to
the more demanding tests 8800GS could not keep up the pace. For approximately
190 € (in Croatian stores) you can get a decent 9600GT board or even a Radeon
HD3870 with 512MB of GDDR4 memory. We have to point out that Asus boards have
always been higher priced than the boards of other manufacturers, but more
quality built also. At the end, it looks like that 8800GS will be a model
which we will soon forget.

Mid-end graphic card segment has never been richer. We can choose
from Radeon HD3850 256MB that costs about 130 €, to Zotac`s 9600GT AMP! which
will most probably cost around 200 € when it comes to our market. What board
will you choose is only up to you and your affinities.
