"...without a doubt the best 8800GTX we have tested here at NAG so far."
The following taken from a hardware review published by NAG.
"...As mentioned earlier, the cooling employed by the P880+ is amongst the best and is very effi cient as far as TECs go. When set to the above clocks, the core still remained cool and only saw
the load temperature rise to 68°C, which is still 17°C cooler than what we usually get with other 8800GTX cards. There isn’t a single thing that we could really fault the P880+ with, because as far as 8800GTX cards go, they are arguably the best money can buy and offer the best bang for buck. One would be hard pressed to find another 8800GTX with this much individuality and performance all in one package.
The only gripe one might have with this graphics card is the added power requirements, as this card is said to require a minimum of a 500W PSU with a +12V rail of 30A, which is not easy to come by even in some well-known 550W units. However, chances are that if you are in the
market for an 8800GTX, you already have a more than capable 600W or higher PSU. Having said that, we wouldn’t recommend that you purchase this if you have a PSU that’s not capable of outputting at least 600W of power and combined 12V readings of at least 35A, as the TEC needs its own separate cooling, which is powered through a 4-pin 12V Molex connector provided with the card.
Sparkle has shown true innovation given the very restrictive guidelines given by NVIDIA. In every discipline that a graphics card can be measure in, the P880+ is without a doubt the best 8800GTX we have tested here at NAG so far." NAG May 2007 by Neo Sibeko
