Hi there

OK we've managed to pull of a mental 8800 GTX deal!

This new prices makes the GTX as cheap as some of the overclocked 8800 GT's and as cheap as the forth coming 8800 GTS, so for those who crave only the best OcUK brings you the 8800 GTX at an unbelievable low price!!

OcUK GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - OEM

The 8800 series is the world's first DirectX 10 graphics card with full Shader Model 4.0 support. It delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects. Even more, it also supports the NVIDIA Lumenex™ engine to give unsurpassed image quality, floating point accuracy, and fast frame rates. Built for Windows Vista™, the 8800 series ensures the best possible performance when running the Windows Vista 3D graphical user interface. The 8800 series complies with many cutting-edge Xtreme-HD features. It provides two Dual-Link DVI connections to support two hi-end, ultra-large, 30-inch LCD monitors at a mind bending 2560x1600 resolution. With an embedded revolutionary HDTV encoder, the 8800 series also supports crystal clear HDTV output up to 1080i. On top of this, it enhances compatibility with other video standards, delivers hitherto undreamt of clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for all video content such as MPEG-2, WMV, WMV HD with NVIDIA exclusive PureVideo™ HD technology. What's more, playback of HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and other protected content at full HD resolutions with integrated High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is fully supported. The WinFast® PX8800 series complies with many cutting-edge Xtreme-HD features. It provides two Dual-Link DVI connections to support two hi-end, ultra-large, 30-inch LCD monitors at a mind bending 2560x1600 resolution.

The 8800GTX for £240 is a great deal, the GTX still apears to have an edge and can be overclocked to match or better the 8800GTS 512MB clocks, however no amount of overclocking will give the GTS a 384bit bus or 768mb of memory. :)

ROP's are render pipes, they work at the core frequency. Basically the pixel fillrate is how many pixels it can dump on the screen, four bits usually RGB+Z and four pixels/ROP. They resolve/combine data like antialias samples, adding them to textures samples etc. The pixel fillrate isn't as important as it used to be, its a compressed stream, with more and processing being done on the shaders. They also say they've improved the compression algorithm. If it does have 24 ROP's they changed the 8 series architecture of 4 ROP's per 64bit memory channel. I'm not so sure it has tbh.

Pixel fill > 650MHz x 24ROP's = 15.6 GPixels/s

TAU/TMU are texture address/mapping units. The texture fill rate is the core frequency times the TMU. They're grouped in with the shader clusters, 8 per 16 shaders, twice as many as the G80. The texture fillrate is basically how fast it can apply textures to mesh surfaces.

Texel fill > 650MHz x 64TMU = 41.6 GTexels/s

Shader ops > 1625MHz x 3 (MADD+MUL) x 128SP = 624 GFlops

Mem bandwidth > 256bit x 1940MHz x 1/8 = 62.08 GB/s
 
I still prefer the idea of a pimped GT until 9800 can't think of any game that is going to require above a GT to comfortably enjoy apart from crysis.
