Sadly its only the 8800GTX.

The other contenders are X1950XTX (single & crossfire), 7950GX2, 7900GTX SLi, 7900GTX and even 7950 GX2Quad SLi

Some of the becnhmark numbers are just amazing. COD2/TR/Gothic3/NWN2/Oblivion/Titan quest for example using 16xAA/14XAA comparisions. Wow.

With high res (19x12 16xAA 16xAF), it seems as the 8800GTX rivals if not destroy (in some occasions) the 7900GTX SLI, 7950GX2 Quad SLi and X1950XTX CF, which is impressive.

Highs:

* Unprecedented level of performance in most of today?s games
* Superb performance in extremely high resolutions
* Superb performance in high-quality antialiasing modes
* Supports the new CSAA method of antialiasing
* Wide choice of antialiasing modes
* Supports FSAA and floating-point HDR simultaneously
* Excellent quality of anisotropic filtering
* Unified architecture with 128 shader processors
* Future-proof with support for DirectX 10 and Shader Model 4.0
* Supports hardware decoding of H.264 and other HD video formats
* Efficient cooling system
* Relatively low noise level

Lows:

* Imperfect drivers
* May be incompatible with some mainboards
* Specific requirements to the power supply and to the PC case size (even though, this is rather a peculiarity than a drawback)

Enjoy. They put a lot of effort into this. All cards using HQ.
