I am quite surprised how well little the performance decreases even at 1900x1200 with 8x AA & 16AF. Looks like 512MB memory is quite adequate even for 24" monitors (we can see how that setting punishes 320MB). If one of the manufacturer can make a passively cooled version for £180, I would most likely jump in.

Well compared to the 8800GTS, they look about shorter in length.

i take it youv read through the thread......?

Nice bit of photoshop work there Madduck. A gtx will just fit into my case but it's extremely tight. A GT will fit nicely.
I get a 404 for the main page even with IE7 so does anyone know how much power these cards (are likely to) draw?

20w less than a GTS, 85w less than a GTX from the comments.

Thanks. If that's true then it just gets better and better. Amazing to think I paid £135 for a Geforce 2 Ti a few years ago and now we are getting stuff like this.

the first ones a 8600, the second is not in stock till the 29th

Ermmm...don't buy now then.
however, if the second links price is accurate. then im going to be picking me one up from ebuyer or scan or somewhere! seems too cheap though

Hopefully it is a indicative price!!

Also the 2900pro and 2950pro(or whatever it is called now!!) will be around 150-160 quid too. Hopefully all this competition will make prices drop a bit as what happened last year!
I wonder how much the 256mb version will cost and whether this will mean the 8600GT/GTS will have further reductions in price?!
Well this has convinced me to hold off on building a new system with a 320mb GTS I hope they hit the shops soon and cheap as I run through a native 1080P LCD though I'd rather see it with a 2 slot cooler (better to have extra cooling capacity than sail too close to the wind).
Glad you brought that one up!
To be honest I see this as a step backwards, if the truth be told.
Much rather lose another slot on my M/B & have better cooling on my video card.
Plus the two slot coolers (most of them) blow the warm air out of the back of the case, where's the GT going to blow it?
