New Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS



Rumoured to have

-128 Stream Processors
-65nm GPU
-970MHz GDDR3 memory
-650MHz Core Frequency
-140W max power usage
-1024MB version will be available after 512Mb release at a unspecified date

DELAYED from NOV 19 to DEC 11


Do you think it will support DX10.1???

DISCUSS HERE!

Let's start betting on prices... I bet the 1g version costs more than all the exports of china combined.

umm no that would be like billions of dollars of exports cause China is one of the biggest exporting countries. Well it is rumoured to be 299$ to 349$ USD, which is okay considering my situation. G92 core? Dunno. Dont believe those sites that say it only has 112 stream processors they are only talking about the SSC not the new new GTS which is going to be released December 11!

WTF? Who needs all that power? I know video makers and professional graphic designers who don't even need that.

Yes, I know that It's called sarcasm

And 350$? Wasn't the Ultra (768mb) $600?

@above: one can never have too much power

Gamers.

Yes, it's coming out. Most of those specs are 99% sure, it's also going to beat the Ultra. And DAMN, it is UGLY.

I laugh at people with see-through cases

You only see mainly the underside of it, anyways.

its okay but you know they will probably stick a picture of a person on it just for kicks like XFX sticks dog pictures on their video cards. Dual slot cooling is better than single am i correct?

I'll be back to discuss it when it's released on December 11th since there's not much to discuss right now, only speculate. The only thing to that we can be sure about is that it will be faster than all the other video cards currently on the market.

Single slot cooling is better, as it saves space and indicates the card produces a smaller amount of heat. Performance wise, dual slot is likely to be better, though that is a hard thing to tell globally.

It'll support PCI Express 2.0 (using x16 slot at 200MHz), for one. For two, it WON'T support DirectX 10.1 or ShaderModel 4.1. Quite basically, your best future-proofing bet with an Intel chipset (P35 or X38) are Radeon HD 38x0's (3850 if your PCI Express slots are next to each other, 3870 if they're not, or a changed-heatsink 3870 if you want to run four). Anyways--be aware that the nForce 680i and 780i are still said to NOT support Yorkfield (Core 2 Quad Q9xx0) at anything more then stock speeds. Only the nForce 790i should be able to overclock Yorkfield. Also be aware that Wolfdale (Core 2 Duo E8xx0) will be fully supported. Anyways--after seeing numbers on how well 38x0's do in CrossFire (they scale incredibly well--much better then 8800GT's in SLI with an average 10% performance advantage--and also remember that a single HD3870 is actually slower then a single 8800GT--meaning they scale MUCH better).

If that card costs around $300 when it's released, and performs better than an 8800GT, I'm getting it.

It's going to be ~500 dollars, and it only outperforms the GT by a very small margin.

wtf the GTS will be 250$ to 300$... what are you talking about??? unless you mean 1GB version. the 512Mb version will be cheap.

Current GTS cards are $250 - $300, so I imagine the newer ones will be more expensive, more in the $400-500 price range. Also because they'll be the best cards on the market at that time.

Need to read about that new card. :x
The GT is just a wonder. Such performance and such a price... I mean, the GT is only slightly outperformed by the GTX.

It even beats the GTX at times. It's hard to get though, been waiting for mine for weeks now and by the looks of it, it's not going to be here soon.

I think I've seen it have a higher average FPS than the GTX in BioShock, but only slightly, although I may be making a mistake.

um yeah the GT is the best and how much does it sell for? 250$!!! well did you order or are you waiting for it to restock? I'm waiting for new GTS for sure! and Geforce 9 series.

No, it's not the best. It's slower than the GTX and Ultra, and it's cooled less efficiently.

On most games, on Crysis the GT out performs it (haven't got the benchmarks at hand)
