Based on NVIDIA G92 architecture, [the] GeForce 8800 GS Graphics Card embraces [6 clusters], 96 stream processors, 48 Texture Filtering Units and 48 Texture Addressing Units,12 ROPs and 192-bit 384MB GDDR3 video memory.

We learn that GeForce 8800 GS was [formerly] known as GeForce 8700, but NVIDIA didn’t want it to overlap with [the] GeForce 8800GTS product line, thereby [allowing] sufficient time for manufacturers to assimilate inventory. But [nVIDIA], faced with [steady] aggression from RV670, changed strategy, GeForce 8700 will [become] GeForce 8800GS, and only [planned] for OEM market.

But [AIB] manufacturers of NVIDIA will introduce GeForce 8800 GS graphics cards to [the] retail market also;

GeForce 8800 GS retail price will be $149-$179.
