GeForce 8800 line to hit 12K in 3DMark06

@ 2006/10/20
The upcoming GF8800 line will hit just under 12,000 in 3DMark06, with a new set of drivers due before the non-denominational year-end festive season, pushing it to just over 12K.

that's $650 without the PSU upgrade or higher power bill

performance is indeed (far) worse than expected. Certainly not worth $650 imo.
