INQ strips down Nvidia 8800GT/GTS, 8500GT

GeForce 8500GT is based on G86 chip, which made all the way to final A2 revision. Even though nV likes to cover all of the details about this entry-level GPU, we managed to find a lot of interesting details. Memory controller should fix the error company made with 7300 chips (in this area, G86 holds firm ground against RV610) and that wide bus will be connected to either GDDR3 and DDR2 memory (expect very few GDDR3 ones). Pricewise, company wants to sell 256 MB models for around 100 Dollar/Euro, while 128MB should retail for 79.

All in all, April will be the DirectX10 month.
