here is more promising review
MSI GeForce NX8800GT 512MB Graphics Card :: TweakTown
conclusion
"The absolute worst thing about the 8800GT is the name. It’s confusing as all buggery. It’s bad enough that people think 512MB 8600GTS cards are faster than 320MB 8800GTS’, but what’s going to happen now that the 8800GT is faster than the 8800GTS? There will no doubt be a lot of people correcting each other as they try to buy a more expensive 8800GTS.
Speaking of price, while we don’t have anything official we should see it retail for around $250USD / $350AUD depending on the brand and bundle.
While the package didn’t do a whole lot for us, the overclock is nice and really seems to help make it that little bit better and extend its lead over everything else in the price bracket.
The bad news is that it’s a real kick in the pants for people who have just recently bought an 8800GTS. While knowing that the GT was coming we run into the name problem again where people think that it’s going to be slower. This is completely understandable as well with NVIDIA offering an 8600GT that is slower than the 8600GTS.
Performance....it’s great and a lot better than we thought. It also doesn’t look like they’re going to do an AMD with press samples only, as we have heard that ASUS, BFG Tech, MSI, Inno3D and Palit are all due into Australia as early as Monday.
This model is probably a bit of a core dump so NVIDIA are ready to ramp up production of their new cards due out later this year, but this isn’t something you would complain about. It allows people to turn around and pick up a high performance DirectX 10 offering without breaking the bank, and with the anticipated Crysis just around the corner this could be the card to get.

When can we expect this card in India?
