Well, so far there no official reviews so we can't compare, look at Neoseeker's daily reviews you will see when they will appear because actually, I can't say how the 320MB version is performing.

It's mostly likely slower than a 8800GTS 640mb at high resolution by quite a bit. However it should still be atleast 50% faster than say a 7800/7900GT as the 8600Ultra/GT packs quite a punch, which should easily outrun a 7800/7900GT & a 1800/1900XL(?)(ATI has so many variants I don't even bother to keep track).

Having a fast card is pretty pointless if the drivers for it are garbage, as are the current nVidia drivers :x

Especially for the new 8800 cards, drivers are a catastrophe.

You mean the drivers for Vista are garbage...aren't the XP ones ok?

XP drivers work just fine.

if anyone is interested, I believe the linux ones are okay too.

If you go here: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html you can compare most modern video cards out there. They don't have the specific 8800 GTS card you're talking about, but they do have the 680 MB version.

LoL

In that bechmark @ TomsHardware i compared 8800 640 MG and my 7900GT beats it @ Half Life Episode One...dunno why, is this possible?

And all the TOP ones are ATI 6 first at least are.

Is this possible?

In most non-OpenGL games, Ati cards are faster than nVidia cards. Nothing new here.

full review and benchmarks. Smokes the 7950GT 512mb in most tests, and almost evens up with the 640mb versions. Wish Nvidia would of released these on day 1, I'd be running these in SLI mode instead of the 640mb.

These tests were done in XP for obvious reasons.

[NienorGT]

The benchs are up in some place, the ones I saw on a French site point that there not so mush differences in performances between the 320MB and the 640MB.
