Today we are reviewing 2 rivals from eachother and we let them compete in : “Clash of the hardware”.In this edition from clash of the Hardware we have the 

world-famous Nvidia Geforce 8800GT

 
 

versus Ati’s Framekiller HD3850

Both chips are having a pretty nice Clock-speed.
The 8800GT has an speed from 600Mhz
and The (sapphire radeon)HD3850 Has an speed from 668Mhz

Probably these are the most standard versions you could find, there are ofcourse overclocked versions, but this time we pick the standard versions from both cards.

Both card have Shader model 4.0.
Fully DX10 Support (altough the radeon has DX10.1 wich doesn’t really matter in my opinion)
They can both get the same resolution size (Depents on your Monitor)

8800gt has a    :   256 bit interface and a memory of 512 MB GDDR3 @ 1800 Mhz
HD3850 Has a :   256 bit interface and a memory of 512 MB GDDR3 @ 1656 Mhz
Both cards Have 2×DVI-I and 1×S-Video

Power use :
8800: 102 watt
HD3850: 110 watt

For the conclusion :

The 8800 GT is more expensive but you get a whole lotta FPS more at the next-gen game : “Crysis” then you will get at the HD3850
