So you want to know what version you are getting? Here is some helpful tips.
SP = Stream Processors
8800GTSv1 is based on the G80 GPU, it has 320MB or 640MB of ram with 6/8 SP clusters enabled for 96 SP.
8800GTSv2 is also a G80, so far only overclocked 640MB versions were released, it came out on the same day as the 8800GT. And it has 7/8 stream processor clusters enabled for a total of 112 SP.
A way to identify it is that some GTS 640MB boxes are marked as 96+ SP (compared to v1 GTS that just said 96 SP).
8800GTSv3 will come out on the 12th of december and it is based on the G92.
It has all 8 clusters of SP enabled for 128SP. The v3 GTS can be most easily recognized by the ram. It will have either 512MB of ram or 1024MB of ram. compared to the v1 and v2 which have 320MB or 640MB.
8800GT is a G92 with 7/8 SP clusters enabled for 112 SP. It has 256MB or 512MB of ram.
The 8800GT outperforms the GTSv1 and v2, but would be outperformed by the v3
8800GTX is a G80 GPU with all 8 SP clusters enabled, for a total of 128 SP. It has
768MB of ram.
8800Ultra is a GTX with higher default clock speeds.
