I'm sorry man but you have obviously never owned both cards. I have a pair of 8800gtx's and a 8800gt and at stock the 8800gtx is a solid 15% faster when you match the clock speed the 8800gtx is about 20% (or more faster). Even with ocing the 8800gt was never as fast as the 8800gtx not to mention the mem difference because lets face it 512mb just does not cut it (unless you game at 1280x1024) were as 768mb can still hold it down at anything around 1680x1050. I see what you are getting at though, the 8800gt was a sweet card for the money, heck thats why I bought one. but it was never a 8800gtx.
I think that the GTX 460 1GB will be great card if they price it like they did the 8800gt at around the 200-250 range. the card is a little faster then the GTX 465 at stock and will OC to a stock (or slightly oced) GTX 470 for 100-150 dollars less. Thats a sweet deal. and WAY better than the 5830 which is what it is competing against.
i am a little curious as to why they are coming out with this new card so soon considering it makes the GTX 465 total garbage.
