nVidia 8800 GT n92

Luego de varios meses de especulacion nVidia ha lanzado su nuevo chip grafico, que en un principio se pensaba seria creador de una nueva serie y superaria a la afamada 8800 ultra, y hasta se dijo que seria la serie 9 de la compañia algo asi como recordar la 9800 =) recordanado la excelente serie de Ati que fue tan exitosa en su momento, pero no fue asi los nuevos chips n9x hasn salido como una revision para la serie 8 el chip n92 sera el portador de las nuevas 8800 GT que han superado en redimiento y precio a las 8800 GTX pero no han superado a la 8800 Ultra algo medio bueno para la compañia, la especulacion ha sido grande y la compañia adelanto la fecha de lanzamiento en 2 semana, pues estaba planeado el lanzamiento para el 11 del proximo mes pero decidieron cambiarlo al 29 y este lanzamiento tan esperado se noto en la falta de stock en el primer dia de venta por lo menos en estados unidos, un asombroso performance ofrece dicha tarjeta pero se rumora que no sera tan bueno como la nueva revison de AMD-ATi la R670 que llevara como nombre HD3870 y sera superior a la 8800 GT se supone que asi sera segun el previo pero todo puede pasar y esperaremos ver la 3870 a ver que tal sale y con sus demas versiones, pero el hecho de que la 8800 GT es una verdadera joya lo es y eso ha quedado demostrado calidad a un execelente precio.

SANTA CLARA, CA—OCTOBER 29, 2007—The NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GT, the latest in the standard-setting GeForce 8 Series of graphics processing units (GPUs), is hitting store shelves today. Specifically developed to answer enthusiast gamers’ demand for high-performing graphics at the $199 to $259 price point, GeForce 8800 GT offers a hyper-reactive, intensely robust gaming experience for the latest next-generation DirectX 10 games, such as Crysis, Hellgate: London, and Gears of War, as well as full support for current DirectX 9 games.

“When we introduced the GeForce 8 Series family, our most savvy customers and press demanded a product with 64 stream processors and a 256-bit memory interface to deliver more performance at the popular $199 to $259 price point. Today we decided to raise the bar and deliver GeForce 8800 GT with 112 stream processors, a fast 256-bit memory interface, and our second-generation PureVideo HD technology, giving our customers an incredible value proposition.” said Ujesh Desai, general manager of GeForce desktop GPUs at NVIDIA. “At this price point, gamers are getting more performance and features than ever before.”

“When I upgrade, I need the most graphics horsepower I can buy within my budget, which is around $200,” said Alton Chaney, a 17-year old gamer who plays under the screen name tgp_Alt0id for The Gaming Project clan. “There’s a ton of killer titles on the horizon so the PC gaming scene is about to explode, and the GeForce 8800 GT will allow me to get the coolest effects from those games without breaking my bank.”

“GeForce 8800 GT is the perfect card for gamers that want to play Crysis,” said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. “By bringing such high performance to the sub-$250 price segment, NVIDIA is allowing even more gamers to experience the full range of Crysis’s stunning visual effects at maxed-out resolutions.”

In addition to 112 stream processors—each individually clocked at 1. 5GHz—and a 256-bit memory interface running at a blazing-fast 900MHz, the GeForce 8800 GT is designed for the new PCI Express 2.0 bus standard and is backwards compatible with the original PCI Express standard.

The GeForce 8800 GT also marries the best-in-gaming with the best-in-HD. It leverages NVIDIA’s revolutionary second-generation video processing engine to deliver high-quality playback of HD DVD and Blu-ray movies on everyday PCs. The new programmable video processing engine takes on all of the high definition H.264 video decoding, freeing the CPU to perform other tasks and significantly reducing power consumption, heat, and noise.

GeForce 8800 GT-based graphics cards are available now from leading add-in card manufacturers, retailers, and system builders. For information on where to buy GeForce 8800 GT products, please visit http://www.nvidia.com/wheretobuy.
