Foxconn is the first w/ the 8800GT page up. Not suprising I guess since they are a huge OEM manufacturer and the 8800GT is probably going into a lot of OEM computers.

Picture of the single slot design too!

Interesting part is the core: G96 ?!

That is a VERY interesting thing... G96 core?

That's probably a typo

[GoldenTiger]

That's probably a typo

I assume so .

[Bobsama]

That or we've been confused. I actually wonder why they didn't call it the G86 core. I mean really--ATI went ahead and is using R6xx with the HD 2000 and soon HD 3000 series, but nVidia went ahead and is using G8x and G9x with the 8000 series. Did they agree to, on average, have the correct names and correct cores for their products?

G86 is already taken

Interesting maybe it is a new core since the shrinked it and maybe did some minor improovemnts that made it to G9X.

[zerazax]

It might just be a typo but nvidia never officially stated anything so its possible

[perkam]

So confirmed no SM 4.1 and DX 10.1 then?

[Bobsama]

I thought only G82 and G84 were used--for GeForce 8600 and 8500/8400, respectively. Well, why not G81 or G83 then?

With G92 supporting DirectX 10.0 and RV670 supporting DirectX 10.1 API, marketing war was set to be quite interesting

[kingfearon]

With "rumored" prices already from start too, that's nice, around $250 tag that is.

But yea I have a hard time jumping onto 8800GT wagon without seeing more of ATIs offering first. I don't think DX 10.1 API support will be that important as it's most likely gonna take perhaps 2 years before we might see something utilizing that and by then it's probably time for me to upgrade again so for me it won't be an important factor, I'm more interested in seeing if ATI's AA issues are fixed and how they overclock.

[aiya]

i too want to know if ATI fixed their AA, if not then i'm going to have to go with a 8800GT512.

[DilTech]

That's presently the million dollar question aiya.

[GoldenTiger]

I've already gotten my 680i board in as a replacement for my current crossfire board... still unopened though, but dang tempted to jump on two of the 8800GT 512mb cards for SLI regardless. Especially given the fact that crossfire overclocking doesn't stick with the current cards between reboots and is a bit of an annoyance to do each time , I am thinking toward the nVidia camp.

[The_Beast]

wow $250 is pretty cheap for what you're getting

[RAW-Raptor22]

Too bad there is so much coming out in the next two months...

[GoldenTiger]

Gonna pull the trigger on a pair in a couple of minutes I think... just not sure because it could end up arriving lower in price than $243 a card, and then I'd be regretting it .

[RAW-Raptor22]

If it is 112SPs Im stepping up to the EVGA one...

[GoldenTiger]

Just placed my order for two of them... under $500 shipped for both total, and it will outperform a GTX together by a good margin I'm quite sure !
