Inno3D once again has a classic product on their hand. There are however a few points of constructive criticism. First off, that silly long fan power connector cable. That just doesn't make any common sense and just looks ghastly. Secondly, a big missed opportunity for the Inno3D Ichill 8800 GT is the fact that they left the Shader domain in the GPU at reference speed, and that's just a real shame ... especially opposed to the competition this is something where Inno3D looses it's advantage. And I don't get that as the card has very sufficient cooling.

Other than that, the product is obviously just lovely. It offers equal to GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB performance at a better price. The product overflows and oozes with a tremendous amount of bang for bucks, comes with a nice bundle. Aside from that, the AC Accelero X1 definitely is doing a good job cooling down the GPU, though is a tad on the noisy side and the one minor it has; it's disposing heat inside the PC, and not exhausting that heat. I'm just not a huge fan of that.

By itself the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT is already a killer graphics card, it's one of the most cost-effective products that money can buy and offers you a really fine gaming experience in this day and age.

The Inno3D GeForce 8800 GT IChill edition provides really good, close to higher-end performance for a fraction of last years high-end price. It also packs in more features to sweeten the deal. You receive GRAW2 (full game) for free, a customized card, standard overclock and a three year warranty. The biggest problem is finding these cards at e-tailers, I do hope that this is something that will change this year.

Products like these are all about product differentiation, being unique and creating a unique product. And though not clocking the Shader domain any faster is a missed opportunity, in the end it is a card that we can't recommend highly enough.
