- I got the non TOP model and it's working great, in fact I'm even pleasantly surprised by the Asus tools that came with it the overlcok/fan utility and the in game UI thing that can record videos and take screenshots., though that one doesn't seem to work in DX10

- Whats the difference between this and the BFG GTS8800 512oc which also tauts the 65nm new moniker, the G92? I bought it a couple weeks ago and I don't think Ive ever been this blown away at the performance of a vid card.

- one is made by BFG the other ismade by Asus :p
from the oc at the end I guess that's like the asus TOP model a factory overcloked card. -

What makes it so? Is it over clocked more than the one I have? -

You and me both. I went from a 4400 TI to to the same BFG 8800 you got, one word pretty much sums it up.... Wow!
The ASUS is the fastest factory OC'd card available, not that the BFG is a slouch or anything. -

Yeah, Im definitely not complaining.
Almost a year later when rumors were abounding about an even faster series of graphics solutions in the offing, NVIDIA® again came through. This time it wasn't a new series of cards, but a die shrink of their 90nm wonder to 65nm and a new moniker, the G92. If you are like us at Bjorn3D, you are in awe of the sheer number of different graphics solutions that have been created from one MCP/VPU and its substantive variants. There is most certainly a solution available for any consumer's needs. The only real problem is trying to keep up with all the model numbers as many of them have been used with both the G80 and G92 versions. Alas, we're a consumer enthusiast site and we're not focusing our attention on anything but the fastest and best in show.
With all of this being said, today we have the distinct pleasure of reviewing NVIDIA's most current work of art, the G92 version of their 8800GTS. Take this already fast graphics card and put it in the hands of ASUS, who is known for taking the best and making it even better and you have the product we will be reviewing, the Asus® GeForce® EN8800GTS TOP.
