XFX NVIDIA 8800 GTX XXX Graphics Card Review

The first round of NVIDIA 8800 GTX graphics cards from all the NVIDIA partners were standard clocked. Until recently there were no factory overclocked 8800 GTX cards on the market and now XFX has stepped in and slapped their XXX moniker on a 8800 GTX that is overclocked right out of the box.
