Nvidia is now mass producing what can only be considered weapon-grade silicon with their latest and greatest G80 GPU architecture (a.k.a. GeForce 8800). Currently the G80 is available in two mouth watering flavors, both of which are capable of blowing any existing competitor out of the water.

In fact, that could well be considered an understatement as we have already seen SLI 7900GTXs and CrossFire X1950XTX cards being defeated by a single GeForce 8800 graphics card. The GeForce 8800 GTX is the cream of the crop, featuring 768MB of on-board GDDR3 memory operating at 1.8GHz with a core clock frequency of 575MHz. And while all this sounds fairly typical of a high-end graphics card (the large memory capacity, high memory and core frequencies), the G80 architecture is like nothing we have encountered before.

Yeah, the 8800's are great cards. Now if only they'd get the price down out of the stratosphere.

Idiots like you is why these video cards are 3 times what they're worth; not to mention, anyone who blows money on SLI technology at this point needs a bullet through their head.

So I'm guessing you want the 8800 series of cards to go for $10 apiece so you can get one too?

LOL... Nah, I've been contributing to my "computer fund" for a long time now. My Dell Dimension 8100 P4-1.5GHz is on its last legs. I'm sure it will be like trading from a Pinto up to a Ferrari though.
