I doubt they even had them in stock at the time, they probably counted the numbers they were "alotted" by nVidia (of the 50,000 total) for the Oct 29 launch as "in stock."

Then you need to sell it quick! :D Monday, ie October 29th for 8800GT. November 15th for the new 8800GTS.

NVidia have no need to release a high end card as ATi haven't been able to compete with what's already on the table. ;)

Won't that change when the 3900 arrives?

Possibly, but the high-end of that series won't see release until next year. ;)

that seems kinda odd, since they used Expertool here: http://news.expreview.com/2007-10-18...1918d6065.html

and i think they also used atitool, but only Expertool did the shaders.

I assume it'll be before NV release their new high end next year or will this ploy used with GT become a trend of NV's?

There's no trend really... This has been common play for awhile.

7900gtx - march
7900gs came out a few months before the 8800GTX.

Generally, they put out a killer mid-range card before going to the next gen. ;)

So we should be expecting the new nVidia highend soon?:shocked:

Personally, I sold my graphics card not too long ago (X1900XTX) and now I'm waiting for either rv670 or 8800gt to come out. I can't play anything in the meantime but it's alright.

It's the BFG 8800GTS 640 OC2. :yepp:

It's an awesome card, and has treated me well in the last 6 months, but the new 8800GT is tempting.

To be honest, I would love to get 300+ for the card, and if I get it out there fast enough, I might be able to. But if I can sell it, and then with that money get an 8800GT, I'd be happy with that, too. We'll see :D

100mhz oc on the core? Man I hope you just got a bad card and they all don't clock this poorly. What are your temps after overclocking? Maybe this card will really show its true colors after some vmods?

so that 900mhz core gpu-z screen looks kinda fishy after seeing OBR's results....http://www.hardspell.com/pic/article...40054138d8.jpg

im guessing thats a suicide/bug shot?? many ppl suggest ~750 core to be max, and ~2000 max on mem for oc ...

That GPU-Z shot is a bug - its not reading values correctly

if you read the thread where you pulled that image from you'd know that was a bug on GPU-Z... which i believe was fixed in the latest build.

also, if you took the time to read the review of the card before it was pulled down from the chinese site, it showed he achieved a max core overclock of around 730MHZ, and i think that was with a VF900 cooler on it. there were a few different screen shots w/ different clocks. one was @ 700/1000 and the other was 730/1000.

so 700 on stock cooler seems typical, not a bad card!

edit: I'm not and nvidia guy or an ati guy.. i'll take which ever one performs good. I'm just correcting misinformation from spreading... since i been researching this card and what's been released about it :p:

lol are you serious man?!! I never saw the site cause it was taken down. All I ever saw was this mysterious screen shot floating around showing 900mhz core. ...didn't know this was a bug. so how would I know about this if the review was pulled before I could see it? and its a disappointment since most later rev.8800gts on 90nm will do 650-700mhz core on average on the stock cooler from 500mhz.

if 700mhz is a typical overclock on this card then rv670 ends up being slightly more exciting.
