- A GFX card of 800 grams and 26 centimeters long
- Two PCIe power connectors, one is a must to satisfy the 200 W peak load, two are recommended for stable performance
- Nividia recommends a 450 W PSU, with at least 30 A on the 12 V line.
- 700 million transistors. I think it's a ridiculous amount, compared to 375 million for the 80 nm X1950XTX from ATI. Can they actually produce this ? Okay... if TSMC yields are THAT good (and they are good...).
- 575 MHz core clock, 1350 MHz for the streaming processors. What the heck are these ? Pixel shaders in pre-DX10 speak ? This sounds like custom design, because with a traditional ASIC approach (thought these GPU people usually stay away from custom logic like AMD and Intel) this is hard to achieve.
- Special logic for physics included (Quantum Physics Processor). I just love this Marchitecture nonsense from marketing people.
- 128-bits HDR. Can be used in combination with AA (16X).
- 128 streaming processors, 768 bit memory bus, running at 900 MHz. Giving 86.4 GB/s. Max. 768 MB GDDR3.
- 8800 GTS will have 320 bit memory bus, giving 64 GB/s. Max. 640 MB GDDR3.
- Two DualLink DVI outputs, one analog video in/out. HDCP supported.
- OpenGL 2 support + DX9 + DX10
- 8800 GTX will cost 650 euro, 8800 GTS will cost 500 euro. With the usual rip-off prices in Europe, guess US prices will be 20%-30% lower
- GTX has 575 MHz core clock, 1375 MHZ for streaming proces, 900 MHz mem clock
- GTS has 500 MHz core clock, 1200 MHz core clock, 800 MHz mem clock
