Abstract:
Nvidia officially released the GeForce 8800 GTX and the GeForce 8800 GTS with slightly lower specifications on November 8, 2006. The two graphics cards are priced at US$599 and US$449 respectively, both of which are equipped with G80 chips. For Nvidia, the G80 is an epoch-making GPU chip. In addition to using the unified rendering architecture and fully supporting DirectX 10 for the first time, one of its three original brands, Tesla, the first general computing product Tesla C870 is also based on the G80, laying the foundation for future entry into the data center and supercomputing fields.
As the first graphics card to support CUDA, the emergence of GeForce 8800 GTX ushered in a new era for NVIDIA. Although there is still nearly a month until November 8, NVIDIA has already begun to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of GeForce 8800 GTX at the GeForce Day 2026 event.
GeForce 8800 GTX brings powerful performance to classic PC games, including Crysis, Company of Heroes, and BioShock. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of GeForce 8800 GTX, Jacob Freeman will relive with us the highlight moments of this classic graphics card in the history of PC gaming.
GeForce 8800 The G80 chip carried by GTX is manufactured using TSMC's 90nm process, integrating approximately 681 million transistors, and has 128 general-purpose stream processors (CUDA cores) with a core frequency of 575MHz and a stream processor frequency of 1.35GHz. It is equipped with 768MB of GDDR3 memory, with a bit width of 384-bit and a bandwidth of 86.4GB/s. It requires dual 6Pin external power supply interfaces, and the full load power consumption exceeds 140W.
