NVIDIA announced the release of their new GeForce 8800 GT which is a mid-range graphics card that is considerably cooler because it uses the shrinked G92 processor with TSMC's 65nm node. However, this one is not just cooler, smaller and cheaper, but draws only 100-watts, down from 200-watts.
If we were to put the new GeForce 8800 GT on a scale it would be above the GeForce GTS and GTX but under the Ultra version, because of the 600MHz processor speed and the GDDR3 frequency that is clocked at 900MHz. This little one has a stream processor as fast as the Ultra, at 1500MHz, and supports the new PCIe 2.0 bus standard, the PureVideo HD engine which offloads H.264 encoding onto the GPU and HDCP support.
So far GeForce 8800 GT will be on Gigabyte, Palit and Zotac, with prices that will range from $199 to $249.
