GeForce 8800 Roundup: The Best of the Best

The G80 itself is reason enough for NVIDIA to be proud; widespread availability is merely icing on the cake. As we saw in our review of the 681 million transistor GPU, even a single GeForce 8800 GTX is able to outperform a pair of 7900 GTX or X1950 XTX cards running in SLI or CrossFire respectively. The chip is fast and on average an 8800 GTX seems to draw only 8% more power than ATI's Radeon X1950 XTX, so overall performance per watt is quite strong.

    Thats an incredible gfx. But i don`t understand why would someone spend so much money on buying this card. I mean i have my 6800 (maybe unlocked and oced) and it can play every game you throw at it

    For some just playing it isn't enough.
    When playing at ultra high resolutions and with all the bells and whistles enabled, there is more..... immersion into the game and a sense of realism that is simply not there with a lower grade of card. That is the candy!!!

    A good cake is great, but a good cake with awesome frosting .......YUM!!!
