NVIDIA Launches 8800 GT Video Card

Topic:

Today marks the launch of the newest video card form NVIDIA, the 8800 GT. The 8800 GT is notable for its performance to price ratio and in the fact that it is a single slot video card.

The 8800 GT has 112 stream processors, each individually clocked at 1.5GHz and a 256-bit memory interface running at 900MHz. Read more

Quote from the review:
" The top dog for anyone wanting to go the NVIDIA route is the 8800 Ultra, it’s a fast card but it doesn’t exactly scream performance-to-cost ratio. With pricing that starts around $600US to $700US, they’re certainly not cheap. Read more

ASUS 8800GTX 768MB Graphics Card Review

Topic:

The Techlounge published a review of the Asus 8800 GTX 768MB graphics card.

Quote from the Graphics Card review:
"The 8800 GTX, after many months on the market, is still the best of the best. Sure, there's one card for competition: the 8800 Ultra; but that's sort of a joke; it's basically a stock-overclocked GTX, with a $150 premium. (The joke is really on the buyer.) ATI has given NVIDIA no reason to worry, since their HD 2000-series doesn't have a card like it. Read more
