XFX GeForce 8800GS 384MB 192-bit (OC version) $189.99 + $5.84
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150276


Hilarious prices, considering that a 320MB, 320bit 8800GTS can be had for $180 AR, a 256MB 3850 Radeon can be had for $150 @ TigerDirect and Microcenter, while 512MB models of 3850 can be had for cheap as well. Also, let’s not forget all those cheap 2900GT and 2900Pro cards floating around. These neutered 8800GS cards at $179.99 to $189.99 + s&h do not seem like a good deal.

I expected this, this nVidia we are dealing with after all.

at my local store the prices are as such, all ATi cards are Sapphire, all Nvidias are XFX.

HD3850 256 $265
HD3850 512 $285
HD3870 512 $329
HD3870X2 1024 $649

8800GS 580M* $249
8800GS 680M* $289
8800GT 256 $319
8800GT 512 $359
8800GTX 768 $649

all prices in AUD (Australian dollar)

so in terms of price the 8800GS goes well against the 3850, and the 8800GT 512 is only 30$ more than the 3870, which is less than 10% price difference

so no shenanigans from nvidia on my end Addsub...

* M is the core speed in MHZ, and all the cards with memory size listed are stock.

These are only a placeholder until the 9600GT arrives. But the HD3850 512MB will pwn both i think.
Edit:never mind...the 8800GS pwned the HD3850 512MB in benchies here

x16?ya 2.0 is backward compatible to 1.0. I mean,there ain't that many Graphics cards out there that truely utilize the 2.0 interface. they only perform slightly better in 2.0 conditions compared to 1.0. Your mobo will support a 2.0 x16 card

Oh btw guys,acording to expreview(the chinese version i'm reading),these cards have fans that run at 100% all the time,so loud. Maybe you can use rivatuner or something on it.those guys at the site didn't try that.

get one and mod it.

good call i think i will and at under 200 per card and easily twice the preformance of the 8600 i think i will 8800 users i will bestow my knowledge and findings to thee.....and i bet i can help you out with those fan probs as far as i know the 8800 unlike the 86 series can set clocks via bios and make it stick...so with any luck these will be the same ill download an 8800 bios to get myself familiar with them and pick this cad up...and get right on it for you guys...well time to study up on the PCB's hopefully they are similar or ill have to dig around for a schimatic..

Hmmmm ....

I think I know where your going with this Solaris. Do you think it be possible to unlock the rest of the ROP's via RivaTuner (if not lasered) essentially making it a GT with 192-bit mem?

its a possibility....hex editing seems the prefered method these days....though i ran into a slight problem...if you look at the name G92-150 and the 8800GT G92-270.....im pretty sure thats the transistor count...which is bad news if so it would seem the card was manufactured without the rops and pipes altogether they arent simply locked however i wont know for sure until their is a new version of rivatuner or nibitor that supports these.

Very true, keep me updated cause if these can be unlocked I will definitely get one instead of pondering between an HD3850 or 9600GT like I was planning.

I wonder how well these babies will clock.
well,the thing is,the more expensive version is already factory overclocked at 680,and according to this site,http://en.expreview.com//?p=232&page=7
But XFX 8800GS 384MB XXX is already factory overclocked, 105MHz higher than Palit version. So we don’t expect the card can be overclock a lot. Especially the memory chip, it is only a 1.4ns Qimonda, cheaper than the palit version.In our overclock test, XFX 8800GS 384MB XXX got stabled at 740/1620MHz. Compare to Palit version, XFX’s core is 20MHz higher but memory frequency is 220MHz lower.After the overclock(from 680 to 740), the XFX 8800GS384MB XXX’s 3DMark06 score is 12054, 7.9% more than default.
