Albatron has announced the 88GTS-512X, a new “Enthusiast” Geforce 8 Series VGA card that will give top-of-the-line cards something to take notice of because consumers are going to get a nice surprise when they catch a peek at the price tag. The board features a 65 nm process technology, which was first introduced with the Albatron 8800GT-512X in October 2007. But , there’s no comparison: the 88GTS-512X is quite simply, big brother.
The 65 nm Process Technology on the 88GTS-512X GPU means more compact, efficient circuitry. This, in short, means faster and cooler processing which is obviously very advantageous for enthusiast gamers. In addition, the88 GTS-512X GPU is endowed with a 650 MHz core, one of the top two fastest engine cores in Albatron’s lineup of VGA cards. Preliminary 3DMark06 scores were able to top 14,000 using quad core CPUs!
PCI Express 2.0 is one of the latest additions to the 8 Series family. Bit for bit, PCIe 2.0 boasts twice the data throughput (5 Gb/s) than its predecessor PCIe technology (2.5 Gb/s).
This card also contains 512 MB of GDDR3 memory with a 256 Mbit bus. At 1940 MHz, this memory configuration is the fastest currently on any Albatron VGA card.
The panel connectors on the 88GTS-512X include two DVI connectors and a 7-pin HDTV-out connector. It supports Dual-Link HDCP and is SLI ready. The board is 4.376″ by 9″, is dual-slot in width and has a PCI Express x16 connector (PCIe 2.0). The board itself is a 10-layer PCB. There is a 6-pin power connector and a 4-pin fan connector.
