I personally would like to see the riddance (good) of all the damn xx00 naming schemes from Nvidia. 8400 (G, GS, GT), 8500, 8600 (GT, GTS) now 8800 (GTX, GT, GTS)??? Holy bejesus! Give me Ultra High, High, Middle, Mid-low, and low! Thats all you need, and you can save the extra alphas for (LIMITED) special editions. Like a Holiday GT, or RoG GTX, with the extra clocks to boot.

8800GT 512MB beats HD3870

So, there is no doubt that the 256MB version is going to beat HD3850

ReAp3r-G
is there even a chance that the 512MB version is going to get a price drop? hoping so for the holiday season or some wild deal from newegg and other online vendors :D

Seeing as current cards bog down in DX10, I'm with nvidia that there's not much point "future proofing" existing cards. By the time DX10.1 is a required or even recommended feature, we'd need faster, newer cards to run those games anyway.

Not enough memory for TODAY's games but the price is right and it will take on the 3850 easily. 256mb of Texture memory doesn't give you much range in resolutions + AA so if you're thinking you can build a Crysis machine cheap then don't count on any high resolutions with this one.

Taking bets on the 8800 GT smacking around the HD 3850.

If it's in the right price range, say $125-175 then I think it'll be a great option for the 'lower end' market.

Crytek agrees with what Nvidia says. Shocking!

How about preparing a card that will run Crysis at 1680x1050 with 4x AA and all High settings at 40+FPS? That's what I'm waiting for. Christmas, nVidia??

The 256MB version of the 8800 GT is probably a bad idea.. while it is a little cheaper, plenty of games want over 256MB to run on fairly high settings now, and the 8800 GT isn't a low-end card that you would want to turn everything down on. There are already games where the 8800 GTS 320MB starts to lag behind its 640MB version, and this GT has even less RAM.

The article is incorrect the offical price has been reduced from $299-$329 to probably $329-299.
