NVIDIA 8800GT Launches   by Craig D at 20:10

PC
Today saw the official launch of the 8800GT graphics boards from NVIDIA partners and as expect plenty of on-line retailers do have stock for order right now.

So is it cheaper but still faster than the 8800 GTS as expected? Here's a couple of reviews at Anandtech and Tech Report which should be of interest if you're in the market for a new card.

Personally I'm a little disappointed with the UK retail prices which are again way over what they should be considering their the dollar prices in the US and the current conversion rate.

This card is turning out to be a bit of a gem.
