8800GT 256mb @ newegg

All these retail stores jacking up the price above retail, its borderline price fixing going on. At some point I wouldn't be surprised to see them sued.

I would take a 3870 any day over this card. In fact I prefer it over the 8800gt just for the features it has.

Lower performance isn't much of a feature. Neither is DX10.1 support. With that said I still wouldn't get the 256mb version till it hits closer to $149 rather than $199. I would actually get the 3870.

Besides the poor grammar and all around bad english, the graphs were pretty. I have serious doubts on their testing procedures but it basically shows the 256mb 8800GT keeping withing 95% of the 512mb 8800GT except at resolutioins higher than 1600x1200. And yes it still beats the 3870, according to that website.

It did provde some info on the supply of the new 8800's being manufactured. According to that website, all the supply issues should be ironed out by the end of Dec. 2007.

Note that the memory is not only half the size, but also a lot slower, only 1400Mhz (700 DDR).

There is a slightly better one with 1600MHz memory for a little more.

yep much slower...
They use GDDR3 instead of GDDR4.
 
Why are neither of these two 256MB cards showing up in a search at Newegg? When I search for "8800GT" only the 512MB cards pop up.

Those numbers makes no sense....

512MB 8800GT is losing to 3870 by 16 fps in Bioshock 1680x1050, losing to 256MB 8800GT by 24 fps. Hell it's performing same as the 320mb GTS....

Something is wonky here...
