Makes me wonder why they are jumping to a 512bit memory bus when not even the 384bit bus on the G80GTX gave much benefit over the standard 256bit bus.

8800gt seems to really fall off at 1920x1200 with AA/AF and esp at 2560x1600. They have to have something for the 24/30 + size monitors. I even read a DT article the other day about 3840x???? resolution on a 22.2 " monitor!! That would probably require an even larger bus than 512.

8800 GT's main flaw is that it has too small framebuffer: 512MB..that's why 8800 GTS 640MB closes the gap when those freaky settings are used. I think that 8800 GT is first (consumer class) card that would get real advantage from 1024MB over 512MB version. Not to mention upcoming 8800 GTS..
