8800GT Final Specs Confirmed !! Information Arrives on Retailer Websites !!

[RAW-Raptor22]

How many SPs? And when will evga have them? Before the first?

[GoldenTiger]

where did u buy at, i mean whom did u buy from?

I called and they said they should have them instock within a couple of days.

[hoop]

ya but i didn't think u could actually buy it until the 29th so how can they already be available?

The site lets you check out with it as a pre-order, and seeing as how I was told over the phone it should be instock within a couple of days, I went for it .

dang i want to too but me scared

LOL..... A 'couple' of days normally means 2. But i'm betting the guy mean a 'few' days. Which could be considered 3 or more. I'm betting it's more like a 'couple' of 'weeks'.

I want to see the evga one so I can step up or not.... would this be a step up?

If it's not higher-priced than your old card, it won't be allowed for step-up I don't think .

I payed 259.99.... I would take the new card even if they didnt give me the difference. Would is perform better?

thats not true unless they changed it. i bought a 7800gt then the 7900gt came out latter for less. and i stepped up to a 7900gt co superclocked for free because i paid like $30 more for my 7800gt then the 7900gt was being advertised for.

really? that's awesome if it can still work like that

That's good info, I never had heard that before .

112, per this info:

this is the real chart!

ps. the TMU ought to be 28 so there are yet some bugs on software

[TigerFury]

It'll be interesting to see how an oc'ed 8800GT performes vs an oc'ed 2900pro

Yes I agree with you, but I think, 8800GT has 56 TMUs.

It isn't surprising to see that NVIDIA's implementation of a unified shader is based on taking a pixel shader quad pipeline, and breaking up the vector units into 4 scalar units. Now, rather than 4 pixel quads, we see 16 SPs per "quad" or block of stream processors. Each block of 16 SPs shares 4 texture address units, 8 texture filter units, and an L1 cache.

8800GTX has 64 TMUs (texture filter units), 32 texture address units.

8800GT has 56 TMUs (texture filter units), 28 texture address units.

Hope you're right on this one bakalu.

But seeing the early game benchmarks, it would make sense putting it between current 8800GTS 640MB and 8800GTX in performance. Lower bandwitdh and slightly less TMUs but higher shader clock and slightly higher core clock would put it there.

I think 8800GT is between 8800GTS and GTX stock and will cost $250 and can be clocked to 8800GTX+ performance but the new 8800GTS 512MB is between 8800GTX and Ultra in performance and costs 300~$310 and can be overclocked to 8800 Ultra+ performance. Both cards should great cards for the price. 8800GT 512MB looks to be another 7900GTO or perhaps slightly better even from price/performance/overclockability view which would make it a perfect replacement for my 7900GTO but I might have to wait for some proper testing of ATI's offerings.

Would love to see how it does in shader heavy games though.

Correct, that's along the lines I was thinking as far as the scalability and them being coupled together.

I too have been looking at these as replacements for my 7900GTO`s. Well worth a look if it actually comes out @ this price. Has there been a confirmed launch date yet?

Strange Just clicked link in first post to Foxconn to look at spec sheet and now its empty! Why?

Some shops already lists the cards for around $250 and while launch date isn't confirmed by NVIDIA itself internal sources tells 29th this month (in 1½ week) and also several swedish sites have that date specified as the estimated date when they appear in stock. Some are even more positive tho and thinks 23th but I doubt that but we can always hope.

Cuz NVIDIA thought Foxconn was a bit too hasty? No suprise here at all.

The sooner the better, my trigger finger`s getting itchy . I want something new to play with, gonna put these with my Q6600(still in box ).Just need to find new mobo and im set.I was going to put this all on my Abit max but after flashing to latest bios and seeing how poorly it OC`s now looking for alternatives.

Come on, couldn't they have tried a little higher resolution than that so we could more clearly see the GPU performance. lol

But the results in relation to the other cards are pretty expected to me for game like this. 8800GT does fine compared to a GTX and Ultra, expected. Also expected poor results for Geforce7 cards in relation to midrange Radeon 2xxx cards due to known poor shader performance of GF7 cards like we see with all the Unreal3 engine based games.

Well at least I'm happy knowing being able to play this game at 100 FPS @ 1280x960 with high details in a few weeks.

[zerazax]

1280 x 1024 doesn't exactly show a lot because everything performs well at that level

The real test is whether 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1200, and 2560 x 1600 shows it scaling well or falling hard because at 1280 x 1024, a 8800GTS320 can blow through almost everything without breaking a sweat
