8800 GTS 512 G92 Specs (Compared to other GeForce 8's)
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/8632/index.html
n.b. Texture fill rate at 41.6 B/sec is higher than the 8800 Ultra at 39.2 B/sec, while having significantly less memory bandwidth (64GB/sec vs. 103.7GB/sec( |

We already know how the 8800GTS 512 MB will perform. It won't eclipse the
Ultra, but will match the GTX at a lower price point. This is good value for buyers. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

I think it is interesting that focus is being turned away from bandwidth and memory performance in general, when it was such a critical area of concern. How often do you get superior performance from inferior specs? I'm not so sure we do know how the 8800GTS 512M will perform in all conditions! More benchmarks under more conditions will have to wait until dec 11th, the end of the NDA embargo. |

... I think it is interesting that focus is being turned away from bandwidth and memory performance in general, when it was such a critical area of concern. There probably will be games where the reduced memory bandwidth hurts the GTS 512 MB. However, if those games already perform very well (Prey, ETQW, Bioshock...) on mid-range hardware, then the real-world impact will not be felt. Do you really care if a game drops from 80 fps to 70 fps? As long as the more demanding games (Crysis, Gear of War, Hellgate London...) don't see a performance drop from GTX to GTS 512 MB, then the new card will be worthwhile. How often do you get superior performance from inferior specs? Several cases where the new card had inferior memory bandwidth, but was faster than its predecessor: TNT2 Ultra to Geforce1 SDR Geforce2 Ultra to Geforce3 FX5950 to 6600GT X1950XTX to HD3850 Admittedly all these were also accompanied by architectural changes which either increased the card's fillrate or shader capability. I'm not so sure we do know how the 8800GTS 512M will perform in all conditions! More benchmarks under more conditions will have to wait until dec 11th, the end of the NDA embargo. I'd be interested in the HardOCP review. It may come down to some situations where 512 MB simply isn't enough, and the GTX pulls ahead by virtue of its *greater amount* of video memory. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
