Newegg - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GPUs, Reality Re-difined

Heres some stuff to know about the card:

* There are two cards available: the flagship GeForce 8800GTX and the less powerful GeForce 8800GTS
* Both cards launched on the 8th of November, 2006.
* The GeForce 8800GTX measures just under eleven inches (~28cm) in length. The GeForce 8800GTS measures nine inches (~23cm) in length. Both cards have a dual-slot cooling solution.
* Both cards are HDCP compliant, support dual-link DVI, VIVO and HDTV outs.
* The GeForce 8 Series supports single-GPU x16 AA as well as 128-bit HDR.
* The GeForce 8 Series features a new Quantum Physics Engine[1]
* The 8800GTX was called back on the 6 November 2006, only 2 days before the launch date due to a manufacturing defect. It is possibly due to a resistor controlling 2D/3D switching leading to 3D corruption. So far there is no affect on the launch date of the 8800GTX. The 8800GTS has been unaffected with this defect.
* The 8800 series carry 681 million transistors, up from 278 million in the 7900 series.
