Years ago there wasn't one mention of stream processors. I hope they mean better fluid dynamics :) ]]>Oct 29th 2007 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Sorry, the apple comment may be a little much, but really now? If you just type the words "stream processor" into Wikipedia, it will take you right to the entry, and you can get the gist of it from the first 2 sentences:

Stream processing is a relatively new, yet quite successful paradigm to allow parallel processing at never-before-seen efficiency with minimal effort. In certain applications requiring massive vector operations, this can yield several orders of magnitude higher performance than a conventional CPU.

In other words: They're awesome, fast as lightning, with the right software they can be used for more traditional tasks such as folding@home, but faster than a PS3, and they're pretty power efficient, to boot. I'm doing my part to save the planet since this new card uses less juice than my current one. Which is why I just ordered mine. Now just need folding for Nvidia cards.]]>Oct 29th 2007 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 30th 2007 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/

Of interesting note, read the full review at HardOCP. It blows away the GTS's but they just got word from Nvidia that they are going to be changing the specs of the GTS's now.... WTF?

The card is actually pretty close to the GTX in one on one and is actually much better than the GTS card which is much more expensive(I think close to 400$).
I haven't upgraded for ever (I use a laptop) but I know this will be my next card for sure when I build my workstation.]]>Oct 29th 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 29th 2007 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 29th 2007 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 29th 2007 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 30th 2007 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 29th 2007 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 29th 2007 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/Oct 29th 2007 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/
Also, the first sentence seems to imply that the card isn't all that great, when in actuality you are getting about 90% or more of the performance of the very fastest $500 video cards available for less than $250. It's quite a big deal in the video card world, this is a great card at a great price.]]>Oct 29th 2007 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/
Even calling it quite a big deal might be an understatement. I'd call it huge, myself. I'll be in the market for a new machine in a few months, and this totally changed the directions I could go with the build.]]>Oct 29th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/29/nvidia-debuts-cooler-cheaper-smaller-geforce-8800-gt/

And i always get EVGA. They have that trade up program so you can trade in your card for its full value, and pay the difference to get another card. I wonder if it works down (because, technically, the GT is a lesser card).]]>Oct 29th 2007 2:50PM
