When nVidia introduced the GeForce 8 series, they decided to place a prohibition for the manufacturers when it came to offering cards with different frequencies than the reference board. After the 320MB version, however, nVidia changed its mind, and from then on many manufacturers decided to offer cards with enhanced frequencies.

GainWard, for example, has featured a 8800GTS 320Mb with enhanced frequencies, recognizable by the GS suffix (Golden Sample). We will be using this card to test a SLI configuration on this review. The GTS GS model from GainWard is simply a normal 8800GTS with modified GPU and memory frequencies.
