So if you’re like us, after looking at the specs you might be asking yourself, “How is this any different than the G80 of the 8800GTX just with 16 fewer shaders, different clock frequencies, and a smaller manufacturing process?”. Answer: No idea. Clearly the GeForce 8800GT’s D8P adds in compliance with PCI-Express 2.0, which we hear from industry insiders does very, very little to increase performance on the high-end. Other than that? Presumably nothing. However, the only thing this would have any bearing over is the name of the core. In the past NVIDIA and AMD have called updated versions of a family of GPU’s what would effectively be a G85 or a G87. OK, so “D8P” doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but let’s take a closer look at what has changed from the original G80.
