We are already on the most recent workshop, announced a few weeks GeForce’a 8800 GTS 512, based on the new G92 processor. The variety is equipped with 128 shader units (not 112, as is currently the 8800GT cards) and support up to 1 GB of GDDR3 memory. Unchanged remained 256-bit memory interface.

New series 8800GTS, which is even higher places from the current 8800 GTX, narobiła so for a large mess in the numbering of the nVidia card. GeForce 8800GT (G92 with 112SP) faster than 8800 GTS (G80 with 96SP), and now 8800 GTS 512MB faster than 8800 GTS 640MB (G80 with 96SP) – will be hard to catch the buyer. Fortunately, distinguishing the ‘old’ 8800 GTS from the ‘new’ 8800 GTS will not be difficult – the former are sold with 320 and 640 MB of memory (which is the achievement of 320-bit memory controller), while new GTSy based on the G92 chip, you’ll see only in versions from 512 or 1024 MB.

Prices papers now shaping up to the level models 8800 GTX, which is 1,600 ~ 1,700 zloty. If you take into account their poor performance and availability on the market, not so surprisingly high price. Anyone who would like to be the holiday season efficient graphics to giercowania even in Crysis have to rush, because the card disappear from stores with dangerous pace – also the same as new models 8800GT.

Coming soon broader test, and now the first results of performance from our database. In 3DMark06 and some games, the new GTS 512 enters GTX’a, but for the most demanding titles – like Crysis – the greater the amount of memory (512 vs. 768 MB) and the wider rail data (256 vs. 384-bit) 8800 GTX card can still maintain at times leadership.

From the old 8800 GTS 640MB (96 stream processors), the new GTS is from 20 to 30% more efficient. But beware! soon we even greater confusion, because nVidia has planned to issue 8800GTS 640MB version of the processor 112SP. This, in case someone, it seemed that no longer will work in what is happening in the segment of graphics cards;)
