Before starting our tests, let's find out what we should expect from the new Nvidia 8800GT series. Ok, the scores are really impressive for a graphics card priced so low, compared with other Nvidia beasts like the 8800GTS and even the 8800GTX. With 3D Mark 05, both cards were very close, with a difference of only 2 marks. The 8800GT SLI combination, doesn't seem to really boost the 3D Mark 05 scores.

Passing on to 3D Mark 06, the Gainward 8800GTS 320 SLI combination produced a higher score, while the two 8800GT cards had a slight performance difference compared to 3D Mark 05.
