Asus EN8800GTS

A high-end card for gaming enthusiasts and Vista

The Asus EN8800GTS is the latest graphics card we've seen to sport Nvidia's 8800GTS processor. The chip may be one step down from the king of the hill, the 8800GTX, but it still packs a considerable punch.

The card is shorter than 8800GTX boards, making it easier to install, and it draws less power -- Nvidia recommends a 400W power supply.

The graphics processing unit (GPU) runs at 500MHz and has 640MB DDR3 Ram ticking along at 1.8GHz. It's one of the first cards to support DirectX 10, a standard Microsoft is making available only to Vista users. This should improve gaming effects in the way DirectX 9 did over previous versions.

At 1,024x768, the EN8800GTS scored a huge 25,827 and 9,609 in 3Dmark03 and 3Dmark05, respectively. At this resolution it averaged 83.7fps (frames per second) in Doom3, which was disappointing as it was beaten by overclocked X1900XTX cards that cost [pounds sterling]100 less.
