NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT: The Only Card That Matters @ AnandTech

Check out the DH review here
___________
Here we are, a year after the launch of G80, and we are seeing what amounts to the first real "refresh" part. Normally, we see a new or revamped version of hardware about 6 months after its introduction, but this time NVIDIA introduced its latest architecture over a six month period instead. First we saw the high end hardware hit, then the low end parts emerged after resting on previous generation hardware to serve as the low end. We haven't seen a true midrange part come out over the past year, which has disappointed many.

Great review!

The 8800GT certainly rewrites the rule book on price/performace, and as the review points out, blows massive holes in both AMD's and Nvidia's existing ranges, with several existing models looking hopeless unless they can take a savage price slashing, especially when the cheaper 256MB model arrives.

Dang. Didn't expect to have my GTX devalued FROM BELOW. Thanks nVidia! (both sincere and sarcastically)

This is one bad review.

The test between gt and gts, no details about which model of gts, no details about graphics settings other than resolution, no details about AF and AA etc.
One bad review.
