Is that Zotac GTX mis-labeled? I thought that was a GT round up?

it's a comparison to show how good 2 8800 GTs in SLI are compared to a single GTX which costs about the same as 2 GTs.

Yeah I know, maybe I'm reading it wrong. But the single XFX GT is pwning the GTX?

it seems that either the drivers are optimized for 8800 GT or the game just likes faster Shaders (...)
Although 8800 GT’s average frame rate was better than 8800 GTX’s, 8800 GT had a lower minimum FPS. Geforce 8800 GTX’s minimum FPS was 22 FPS while Geforce 8800 GT’s minimum was 17.5 FPS. |

Was just checking some prices here in Germany. The XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog or (8800GT XXX) will be out the 14th of Nov and the cheapest price I found is 276 Euro. That's 552 Euro (808$) for 2 in SLI!, thinking hard here. Or...wait for the 9800...that could take months but.

Don't expect it to come out this year. nVIDIA usually releases their cards in November, and this time it's the GT, not the 9800. That means it should be out in April-May next year maybe.
Depends if you want to wait or not, but after the 9800 there is another series coming, so you could end up waiting infinitely for the next big thing - in a manner of speaking.
Personally I have a 1900 at the moment, and the GT is a godsend. So I'll be upgrading sometimes this month or maybe next month.  |

*spins the rumour mill* 
Of course you could always wait. Heck, I would love to wait indefinitively, but I can't. Mainly because there are shitloads of high-profile games coming out this month, and my machine is practically from the stoneage (4000+, 1900...)
I think this is the longest time I have gone without upgrading my machine. About 2 years for the rest of the hardware, and around 1 year for the graphic card.
However, somewhere around $1300 is not a lot for upgrading to me, all things considering (which country I live in as well  ). |

damn these things are so hard to get ahold of.
I was going to buy one and a friend of mine as well at a hardware store near me.
So Last week I called em and asked when they'd have the 8800 GT.
They said next week (this week now) and told me to just check the online price list to see if they're available or not.
so sure enough, I checked it every day.. but they never had it.
Today I called em again, and they said... "yeah we had em already this week, but they were all gone again the same day that they arrived".
doh!
That really sucks.. first you gotta wait for new hardware to be released, and when it's released you still gotta wait until they're actually available. Sure, you might get lucky and get one from the first batch, but after those are gone you gotta wait weeks for more to arrive. that just sucks.

Seems easy to get here...
Also, 8800GTS is coming out in the G92 very soon. May want to wait for those, I know I am. You're probably looking at 8800Ultra type performance from a $300 card.

Hold on to your horses 
| Quote: | NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 GT might be one of the best performance-per-dollar cards since the Radeon 9800, but things are moving fast at NVIDIA and there's a lot more on the way from the company between now and next Summer.
Over the last quarter, the company moved away from the old "Gx" designation for its core names, instead opting to switch to a more descriptive system. NVIDIA's new codenames follow:
D8M: Eighth generation mainstream, previously named G98
D8P: Eighth generation performance, previously named G92
D9M: Ninth generation mainstream
D9P: Ninth generation performance
D9E: Ninth generation enthusiast |
This is the best bit 
| Quote: | Early NVIDIA roadmaps claim D9M, the first ninth-generation NVIDIA component, will replace the GeForce 8500-series lineup. There's no retail designation for these D9x parts, but it would be a safe bet to say these will be the GeForce 9xxx-series cards.
D9M will add PCIe 2.0 support, DirectX 10.1, wider memory controllers (up to 128-bits) and will be based on a 65nm silicon. D9P, the likely 8600-series replacement, adds the same features as D9M, but the memory controller width will top out at 256-bits.
D9E, the enthusiast component slated to replace the GeForce 8800-series, will incorporate all of the features of D9P and add a 512-bit memory bus. NVIDIA is holding its cards close on D9E, and has not provided any other guidance or release date.

Yea, sound like a good plan. I will at least wait until Jan-Feb before buying any new stuff. New Penryns and the X48 + 790i is due then. Maybe I am lucky and NV launches their D9E around this time as well...wishful thinking no doubt.

Its true, pretty hard to get a hold of one. I caved in and decided to buy one, went to every electronic store near me, and none have them. So i decided to buy from evga website (since people say they are oh so awesome), when i was buying it said "IN STOCK" (I bought on Sunday 11/04) but i guess they ran out of them because im still waiting and the website says "waiting to ship", but they took my money already  . So no money and no card, but im not alone, people on the forum are complaining too, and it is expected to ship next week. It wouldnt be bad if they just said pre order now, but when i was buying it said in STOCK, so i expected a quick delivery.
Well but i guess its worth a wait, since the card seems to be pretty good for a price.
Sig too big. -Nothing is too big for Fedor. Expect a nasty armbar.

The minimum recommended is a 450 Watt PSU for SLI with the 8800 GT, 500W may be enough, the PSU being seasonic made and not just a generic crap. The problem with this case is that you can't update the psu if needed later... Give a try at some "PSU calculator" to have a better idea, e.g.: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
n.b.: The E6750 is only 12.5% downclocked while 30% cheaper than the E6850.

I've been waiting to get one for 3 weeks now, but it's still not in stock anywhere in Austria.

Im not sure if I want an 8800GT or a new monitor :/
There arent really any games to my interest now until 2008, so seems pointless me paying 0day price for the 8800 when im hardly gonna use it for the next 4 months, when the price lowers by about 30%
