Nvidia GeForce 8800GT

[NINE-BREAKER]

Just thought I'd mention a new entry into the Nvidia video card field, the 8800GT since everyone is looking to upgrade. This card looks like maximum bang for the buck right now.

It's an upgraded GPU with some nice features; most notably the 65nm structure. It outperforms the 8800GTS (320MB or 640MB versions) as well as the ATI 2900. In some tests it beats the 8800GTX. It has 512MBs of video ram and is going to be priced at $200-$250. There will be higher end versions of it out later (which will probably make the 8800GTX and Ultra look old.)

I gather ATI has a new challenger coming soon too (although given the under-performance of the current 2400-2900 cards from them you have to wonder).

Also, the 8800GTS Rev2 is suppose to release as well (November 14?) which is just basically a superior 8800GT with 1024GB (or so the rumors say).

The new design is just so sexy.
