News NVIDIA silently launches GeForce 8800 GS

[Tefra]

t's a 8800 GS. Yet another suffix to keep track of while you're choosing your next graphics card upgrade. Nvidia did not really really launch this out loud, I mean we didn't even receive a press-release. But appearantly XFX has already announced two PCI-E 2.0 cards based on the new GPU.

Both cards come with 384MB of RAM and a 192-bit memory interface and, like a standard GeForce 8800 GT card, the GS cards will come with a single-slot cooler too. The GPU has 96 stream processors, although we haven't yet received any detail on their clock speed. However, the standard core clock will be 580MHz, and the GDDR3 memory clock will be 700MHz (1.4GHz effective).
