Good build, single slot, good performance.
Expensive; the 9600GT makes it not worth buying

The Card
The card is clocked at 580 / 1400 MHz (Core/Memory), and the shaders run at 1450 MHz. Nvidia's reference 8800GS runs at 550 / 1600 MHz (Core/Memory) while the shaders run at 1450 MHz. It's good that XFX has overclocked the core and shaders by 30 and 50 MHz respectively, but we're not sure why the memory speed has been cut down by 200 MHz; this will certainly affect the performance of the card.
The XFX 8800GS has a 192-bit memory interface and sports 384 MB of DDR3 memory.
Like the 8800GT, the 8800GS, by reference, has a single-slot design. The active HSF on the face of the card uses a copper heatsink and a small plastic fan. It requires extra power to be fed to it using a 6-pin connector.
The back of the card features dual-DVI and an S-Video port.
The card supports PCI-Express 2.0, Shader Model 4.0, Nvidia's Quantum technology for physics computation using Shaders, the Lumenex Engine that helps deliver better image quality and floating point accuracy at high speed, PureVideo HD technology, dual-link DVI (capable of supporting resolutions up to 2560 x 1600), and OpenGL 2.0 support.
