[Matt2]

I only get the intro page when u first click on the link. If I try and move to a different page it's blank.

By the way, there is a list of reviews on Dailytech, although a few have been taken down:

Originally posted by: CP5670It seems that there are a number of GTS reviews out now but hardly any GTX ones.

Personally, the GTS reviews are more interesting. We already know the GTX kicks butt and pretty much owns the competition. The GTS is still up in the air as far as performance. Some reviews have it barely better than an X1950XTX while others have it doing much better.

Weird, doesnt come up for me.

I was able to finish reading the review
keep trying.. their webpage is dynamic so if there are too many hits, it'll pull null data. keep refreshing and you'll get it eventually.

 

[Genx87]

Yeah it finally came up. Holy shat this thing is deadly fast. I cant wait to buy a GTX!

 

[LittleNemoNES]

WOW I'm in love with the new AF quality!

::applauds::

Great job, Nvidia.

SWEEEEEEEEET!!!

First evidence of G80's HDR+AA performance.

[*]1600x1200--86.899
[*]1920x1200--70.591
[*]2048x1536--54.103

Asus 8800GTX
[*]1280x1024--95.838
[*]1600x1200--86.988
[*]1920x1200--70.941
[*]2048x1536--54.006

[*]1600x1200--68.585
[*]1920x1200--55.360
[*]2048x1536--41.117

Oblivion 16xQAA+HDR / 16xAF

XFX 8800GTX
[*]1280x1024--70.278
[*]1600x1200--47.045
[*]1920x1200--38.784
[*]2048x1536--30.360

Asus 8800GTX
[*]1280x1024--70.184
[*]1600x1200--46.995
[*]1920x1200--38.156
[*]2048x1536--30.303

EVGA 8800GTS

[*]1600x1200--33.739
[*]1920x1200--28.488
[*]2048x1536--21.998

Even when using the GTX's highest AA level (16xQ) with HDR and their next to perfect AF, you'll still get better frames than X19** counter cards at 4xAA!!!

Noice!!!!!!!

Quality and speed don't mix

Another one.

First INQpression Sparkle's Calibre P880+ the first Peltier Junction cooled GF 8800GTX card.

edit:

Not exactly a review but the Peltier cooling makes it valid for inclusion.

 

[CP5670]

Looks like an impressive cooler. They say it's much quieter than the stock cooler though; does that mean they find the stock one loud? That would contradict what H says about it.

I'm actually looking forward to the Xbit review due to all the games they test, but they are always the last ones out with their articles.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

'stupid that inq didn't even mention temps.

 

[HigherGround]

where's Anand's review?

[hemmy]

[ShadowOfMyself]

Insane.. Wow.. Both performance and image quality are out of this world.. I can only imagine what this card will do with DX10... Im starting to think the R600 wont be able to best it even with the delay

My god is the 8800GTX fast.

I think one of those will be just fine for me.
I've had and used SLI for the past 2 years, and now I think it's time to move back to a single GPU.

I wonder about that. It seems that this card is on par with what we heard about the R600. Unified Architecture and all. Inq was stupid wrong on this one.

I want one of these cards soooo bad. I need to research the difference between the GTX and GTS as I won't ever spend $600 on a card.

This looks to be about the perfect card. The GTX even uses LESS power under load than a X1950XTX :shocked:

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Quick question (it will take me a while to hit the reviews): The Unified Shaders need DX10 to work right? So how are the 128/96 shaders being implemented in current DX9 games? I mean, what's their distribution?

 

[KeithTalent]

All of these reviews are making me very excited for DX10.
