bit-tech.net — NVIDIA's latest graphics card - superfast, but don't bother if you don't have a 24" monitor. This review rounds up a bunch of real-world gameplay benchmarks and gives a low-down on the architectural changes. Is this the ultimate Christmas purchase?

This is one of a certain group of technology websites that makes money from breaking up their articles into as many pages as possible to maximize ad revenues. To do this, the writers are specifically instructed to be as wordy as humanly possible. This article is a perfect example.The meat of the whole article can fit on one page. Unfortunately, that meat is surrounded by countless paragraphs of irrelevant fluff, and is in dire need of significant editing.BREVITY IS A VIRTUE.

yeah... wow. i read the article, and this thing is amazing. i mean, yay for high framerates and fancy game effects and all, but what i'm really excited about is the new architecture's potential for general purpose processing. the g80 is basically a little supercomputer.

Great article. As a game developer i cant wait till direct x 10! This card is not very useful now, but once vista is out + another 6 months, some new dx10 games will come out, its gonna be sweet.

HDMI on the card would have been the sweetner. I expect there'll be a 8850 that has quad-SLI capability.

No kidding. Load times on each page were stupid as I had to weed through their narrow tabulated reviews and huge images, sprinkled with just a little jibjab.

Another comprehensive article was also written on www.guru3d.com. I think the graphs were much clearer and understandable; though like this article, it could have been reduced by about 10 pages had it not been so wordy.
