Introduction

Another day, another 8800GT; this time it comes in the form of a Palit offering. The good news is it's a bit more interesting than your standard run of the mill 8800GT which we have all become so accustom to now.

Palit has decided to mix it up this time around with a new heatsink/fan combination, and we've got to say that it's about time we saw something other than the loud, hot, boring, single slot cooler that we have seen from most other manufacturers over the past few weeks.

Palit do a good job of impressing us here; they seem to be consistently one of the cheapest partners on the market but it doesn't seem to come at the cost of specs or build quality. Let's hope that the latest card from them in the Palit 8800GT Sonic doesn't disappoint us.

Well there's only one way to find out if the card does it for us or not, and that's by diving deep within the box. Before we do though, let's have a quick look at the box itself.
