9800GTX

another new card
ITs based on the G92 chip which is whats in my GTS 8800 cards but dose beat them but is also limited to 512 memory. It beata the GTX, not suprising as so dose the GTS depending on the resulation, and all they realy did was a small increase in memory bandwidth and a clock boost. tho note my GTS cards ae overclocked stock so would love to see mine or other (almost all are overclocked form factory these days) do against this one. But good part is its 350$ range so the price is right but its not a big improvment over the 8800gtx.

From what I've heard, if you have ANY 8800 it's really not worth it to get. It's faster, but unless you can sell your 8800 for most of what you spent on it, you'll be losing money on the deal. If you have anything OTHER than an 8800, then it might be worth it.

yep, its faster but not by any amount
heard july nvidia will have a real new toy, this is just the 8800GTS I have in all honesty and sicne mine is already overclocked its very close to that one (nvidia verson not the overclock you will see ). The price is great for what you get, If I was buying 1 card then that would be it now. But 2 SLI cards thats another 200$ added compared to the GTS I got. I was able to MAX crysis which even 1 GTX 8800 can't do 2 SLI did it and laughed so I am very happy.
