PNY has just announced a factory overclocked, limited edition $579 GeForce 8800 GTX card. Here's a quick run-down of some of it more interesting specifications:
| BUS Technology | PCI Express |
| Memory Amount | 768MB |
| Memory Interface | 384-bit |
| Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) | 96 (versus 86.4 standard) |
| Fill Rate (billion pixels/sec.) | 39.7 (versus 36.8 standard) |
| Stream Processors | 128 |
| Shader Clock (MHz) | 1450 (versus 1350MHz standard) |
| Core Clock (MHz) | 621MHz (versus 575 MHz standard) |
| Memory Frequency (effective) | 2.0GHz (versus 1.8GHz standard) |
At the clock speeds listed above, this card should offer almost all of the performance of the recently announced, and much more expensive GeForce 8800 Ultra.

Is it me or we are seen more releases of Nvidia GTX and Ultra cards... R600 must be really threatening |
|
I think it's just NVIDIA working through their product lineup and fleshing it out. Remember this GPU has been around for a while. R600 is going to compete in the higher-end mid range but not in the fastest high-end like this card. |
|
Well then Nvidia are just strategicly (I know i just made it up) gaining more market share? |
|
Not Bad, just $30 more than the Regular PNY 8800 GTX...

I mean just look at it, the cooler sticker is very well done, gives it a similar aesthetic to that of a finely crafted sports car... Yes I know its a 600.00 card and its fast as blazes, and its a reference board and cooler, but at least now it looks the part. Had to mention as it was the first thought that came to mind and usually that isn't the first though that comes to mind when looking at these sorts of things. |
