Conclusion:
The test results here have shown that the performance increase you can expect for an OverClocked Inno3D 8800GT over a standard version is anywhere from 2-8%, with an average increase closer to 5% or so. Considering the price increase for the OC version over the standard item is in the order of 10% it’s a bit hard to justify. If it was my money on the table I think I’d stick with the standard version and save myself a bit of cash for something else.
The cards themselves were rock solid performers so if you’re after a good quality reliable 8800GT I’d have no hesitation recommending the Innovision/Inno3D brand, but again, I’d stick with the standard version is it was my own money.

Crysis with a single card @ 4xAA has a really poor frame rate. Must have been very jerky.
What processor/MB would you recommend to get a single 8800GT or GTS (512) to work with higher frame rates?
