XFX, a leading provider of advanced graphics cards and a division of Pine Technologies, has unveiled what seems to be the world’s highest performance graphics card based on Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS graphics processing unit (GPU) with 320MB of memory. The product is called a “Ferrari” and is branded under “Fatal1ty” trademark.
“For the gamer who demands the finest in speed and performance, XFX debuts the Ferrari of its graphics card lineup: The 8800 GTS Fatal1ty graphics card,” a statement by XFX reads.

Despite of considerable frequency shift, the new graphics boards still feature reference design and have been manufactured under supervision of Nvidia. Pine’s XFX picks up graphics boards capable of operating at higher clock-speeds and flashes appropriate BIOS versions to enable out-of-the-box overclocking.
