Geforce 8800GTX: Overkill 3D but monster De-interlacing




There will be two launch cards: the flagship GeForce 8800GTX and the less powerful GeForce 8800GTS. Both cards are expected to launch on the 8th of November, 2006. [3]
The GeForce 8800GTX measures just under eleven inches in length. The GeForce 8800GTS measures nine inches in length. Both cards have a dual-slot cooling solution.
Both cards will be HDCP compliant, support dual-link DVI, VIVO and HDTV outs.
The GeForce 8 Series will also support single-GPU x16 AA as well as 128-bit HDR.
It will be the first Direct3D 10 and Shader Model 4.0 card to be released.
The launch price of the 8800GTX will be $649 while the 8800GTS will initially cost $449-499.
Following the introduction of the flagship 8800 range, NVIDIA will introduce cheaper, slower versions of the card with one or more of the following reductions in capability: (a) reduced core clock speed; (b) reduced memory clock speed; (c) reduced memory bus width; (d) reduced pipeline count; (e) reduced chip count (if the 8800 is, in fact, a dual chip part); and / or (f) reduced complement of memory.
