Today NVDIA announced and released the GeForce 8800GTX and 8800GTS graphics cards
The specs:
Unified Shaders
NVIDIA’s GigaThread technology
Quantum Effects physics processing
128-bit floating point HDR lighting
16x anti-aliasing
DirectX 10 with shader model 4.0 support.
GeForce 8800 GTX
128 unified shaders or "stream processors" clocked at 1350 MHz
Core Clock 575 MHz
768MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 900 MHz = 1.8 GHz 384-bit memory bus
10.5 in long
$659.99 / $669.99 on newegg (5 models)
GeForce 8800 GTs
96 unified shaders or "stream processors" clocked at 1200 MHz
Core Clock 500 MHz
640MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 800 MHz = 1.6 GHz 320-bit memory bus
9 in long
$499.99 on newegg (7 models)
I am still trying to wade through all the hype, although last week I saw preliminary benchmarks on dailytech that showed 1.5 to 2x the framerates of the ATI X1950XTX!
