how do you know Ati's RV670 is going to beat the 88000gt (haven't read any of the latest news?), no one thought the 8800gt was this good, everyhardware site seems to think the 8800gt wil be better. Even if it isnt better nvidia is also gonna launch the new GTS which will be very good, might even beat the 8800gtx.

Answer: We know 8800GT will be roughly equivelant to GTX, from leaked benchmarks. We know HD2900XT would be as good as an 8800GTS 640MB if the AA and AF bugs were fixed. We know 8800GTX is 10% better than 8800GTS 640MB. We know RV670 @ 825MHz is 1.1x the clockof HD2900XT while having the same architecture. Therefore, RV670 = 8800GTX = 8800GT. Both RV670 and 8800GT will debut at $250. So, I assume performance will be equal.
New GTS > 8800GTX: Definetely not. There are no architectural or clock improvements - it's just getting extra shader units but will still have less than the GTX.
Even if I'm wrong, ATI has R700 coming up but Nvidia has already shown us G90...

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
8800 GT :)
By me:
I am actually very excited to see what this does to the price of the GTS 320MB models....I could be getting my SLI SOON!

By me:
with TirSLI being released Nov. 12th this could get rather interesting.
I just hope this doesnt lower the 8400GS that much, =/, grant it I paid $47 for it but still.
Wow that thing is thin...it has adequate cooling like that? And $250? I think I've found the card to buy this holiday!
Oh yeah, and I played the Crisis single player demo last night at a LAN party...very awesome graphics, especially with my one friend who has Vista and DX10. Granted, his system was absurdly bleeding edge awesome, but the jump from DX9 to 10 was AWWW!!!!!
LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

What kind of framerates did he get at what settings? I've read reports of bleeding edge systems getting 5 frames per second at high resolutions with the game set to 'high'.
That review says the fan is louder than the dual slot 8800's, and from the reported temps it looks like it runs about as hot as my 7800gtx, so I suppose it cools okay....I do have to have my case open for demanding games with my setup, but my computer room stays around 81 degrees all the time.
I don't mind dual slot, so I hope we get some quality *quiet* dual slot 3rd party coolers. Or, I guess I could just buy a case like this one
