Thumbs up
Its got to be a better price than say a 8600GTS, easily more bang per individual buck, even though it costs twice the price.

And you are right... The die shrink is just like Intel, shrink, introduce a new generation, then shrink that... 8800GT @ 65nm should give Nvidia all the info they need to prep the next generation design to use the 65nm node. Can't wait...

Very amazing... and to think these cards come pre-overclocked to Ultra speeds.

The highest card I have seen so far is the Inno3D 8800GT, which comes with a factory overclock of 700/1680/2000 out of the box.

nice quote there indeed

This launch really has the potential to introduce a card that could leave the same lasting impression on the computer industry that the Ti4200 left all those years ago. This kind of inflection point doesn't come along every year, or even every generation. But when architecture, process enhancements, and design decisions line up just right, the potential for a revolutionary product is high.
