Graphic Cards Rumble on the Bronx - 8800GT ups the ante

Awesome card, finally a good card arrives for mid range purchase, but this is the part I like best:

The one potential fly in the ointment for the 8800 GT is its upcoming competition from AMD. As we were preparing this review, the folks from AMD contacted us to let us know that the RV670 GPU is coming soon, and that they expect it to bring big increases in performance and power efficiency along with it. In fact, the AMD folks sound downright confident they'll have the best offering at this price point when the dust settles, and they point to several firsts they'll be offering as evidence. With RV670, they expect to be the first to deliver a GPU fabbed on a 55nm process, the first to offer a graphics processor compliant with the DirectX 10.1 spec, and the first to support four-way multi-GPU configs in Windows Vista. DirectX 10.1 is a particular point of emphasis for AMD, because it allows for some nifty things like fast execution of global illumination algorithms and direct developer control of antialiasing sample patterns. Those enhancements, of course, will be pretty much academic if RV670-based cards don't provide as compelling a fundamental mix of performance, image quality, and power efficiency as the GeForce 8800 GT.

Will just increase the pricing competiotion...
 
the 8800GT blows goats, it pwns the 640mb 8800GTS

it should be a must buy for the ones who have crappy on-board ones
 
^^ Hehe like me, but I am of 2 minds now dont want to invest in a new PSU also, I guess 2600XT will suffice for a yr then...
 
it consumes 105W as quoted by AMD, as given in anandtech's website :p

As this is NVIDIA's first 65nm part, it certainly of interest to see how it stacks up to the current line up in terms of power consumption. NVIDIA quotes the max power of the 8800 GT as 105W but in the real world, we aren't just stressing the GPU

Well he cant run SLI on his board. Not with any modern cards as the hacked drivers that leaked are now ancient. Also no bridge as well....

Not here yet. Expected in 7-10 days. I am told expected pricing will be between 16250 - 17500 depending on brand and OC versions for Mumbai. Might be slightly cheaper elsewhere in India.
