Despite its horribly confusing naming scheme, Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTS 512 is a good product at face value, as it delivers unprecedented performance at the price point Nvidia is trying to hit. However, the problem Nvidia has is that if it doesn't manage to hit the price point it's given to us and the price edges up towards the £250 mark, it brings the GeForce 8800 GTX back into play. That said, if the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 hits the ~£220 retail price we've been given, it will hit a sweetspot that will make it a viable alternative to a stock-clocked GeForce 8800 GT and should make it much better value than most of the pre-overclocked 8800 GTs out there. We said the GeForce 8800 GT delivered performance that rivalled the GeForce 8800 GTX, but the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 manages to take the fight to the GeForce 8800 GTX and in many scenarios it's actually faster.

With less than a week before retailers start selling the new G92 version of the GeForce 8800 GTS, we are sure many of you are keen to see how this new graphics card performs. The GeForce 8800 GT was the first card released using the G92 core revision and as we found out weeks ago it features superior performance that nears the grand daddy GTX at less than $300. Unfortunately this outstanding product has been crippled somewhat by its poor availability which also translated in retail prices that surpassed its intended range. Even after two months of its initial launch the situation has not self-corrected. The new and upcoming GeForce 8800 GTS 512 on the other hand is said to be shipping in large quantities already, and when released in less than a week should be available at the manufacturer's suggested retail price. We are hopeful this will be the case but for now we will simply focus on the performance and features of the new 8800 GTS 512.

Like its desktop counterpart, the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT looks better on paper than in real life. On paper, it is roughly between the desktop GeForce 8600 GT and the GeForce 7600 GT in performance. That makes it a rather powerful mobile GPU, especially compared to integrated graphics solutions like the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100.

Getting down to the nitty gritty there are some key details we should make mention of. Based on the new G92 core, we have the standard features to come with it such as PCI Express 2.0, a 65nm die and 1:1 texture addressing units : texture filtering units. These are the features we know to be standard across all of the upcoming 8800GTS G92 based graphics cards, but as far as model specifics go we have in this case 512MB of GDDR3 memory. That 512MB comes clocked in at 1940MHz DDR while the core and shader clocks come in at 650MHz and 1625MHz respectively.

The NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT was designed to succeed the GeForce 7600 GT by not only offering better performance but also support for DirectX 10. For many gamers on a budget, the DirectX 10 support was the biggest reason to upgrade to the GeForce 8600 GT. It would allow them to play DirectX 10 games, or so they thought.

Today NVIDIA is finally unveiling the rumored and much anticipated GeForce 8800M series of mobile graphics processors. The 8800M is powered by the new G92M GPU which is built on a 65nm manufacturing process and, as its name suggests, it shares a lineage with the desktop-bound G92 GPU announced three weeks ago. The 8800M series will come in two favors, a GTX and a GTS, each with a different compliment of stream processors. Head on over to the site and check them out...

For now, we have to give a thumbs up to the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT and welcome it with open arms to the GeForce 8800 series. This card should be a big hit this holiday season as it offers serious performance at a mainstream price tag that most gamers can afford. If you can't afford it however, this card is worth saving up for...

Unlike the GeForce 8600 GTS, the GeForce 8600 GT's memory bandwidth is unchanged from that of its predecessor, the GeForce 7600 GT. However, it has a 28.6 % higher fill rate. Will that be enough to offer current GeForce 7600 GT users a real reason to upgrade?

Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GT is a truly stunning product and is a refreshing change to the rather dull graphics card market we've been subjected to ever since the high that was the launch of Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GTX. It's not a GeForce 8800 GTX killer and if you were making the choice between GeForce 8800 GTX and a pair of GeForce 8800 GTs, I would still opt for the former, but as a single card solution for just over £150 (inc. VAT), it's an almost unmissable proposition.

Having seen how much performance that NVIDIA managed to pack into the new GeForce 8800 GT while offering it at an extremely attractive price, today we look at whether the GeForce 8800 GT SLI combo is worth the admission fee.

While the nVidia 8800 GT doesn't beat the established 8800 GTX, it provides close to the performance for a fraction of the price and also packs in more features to sweeten the deal. Add to this it's small size, cool operation, and quiet running and you have a card that we can't recommend highly enough. It's simply phenomenal.

Just in time for the holiday season, NVIDIA has launched its latest update of the GeForce 8800 series, the 512MB GeForce 8800 GT. With a new 65nm core and full PureVideo HD capabilities, this is the product refresh enthusiasts have been waiting for. Read on for the full performance benchmarks.

The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT is based on the new NVIDIA G92 GPU. This is basically a tweaked and G80 silicon die-shrinked using the 65 nm process technology. This allows NVIDIA to cramp even more transistors into the die and yet produce a smaller chip. The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT will be available in two "flavours" - the standard 512MB model and a cheaper 256MB model. Both models will retain the same clock speeds and 256-bit memory bus. So, the only real difference is the size of the memory buffer. At launch, the standard NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512MB of GDDR3 memory will be priced from US$199 to US$249, depending on the vendor and value-added features. The 256MB model will be slightly cheaper at US$179-US$199, again depending on the vendor and value-added features.
