NVIDIA's G80, GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS are old news now. We learned all about the cards including the fact that it has around 700 million transistors, that, as we said many moons before, it is based on 90 nanometre process and has dual power plugs. The G80 chip needs a lot of power and is the biggest desktop graphics chip so far. Another thing that we learned is that NVIDIA uses a new SLI logic. The new SLI is dual rail stuff. It is ironic that ATI was the first to introduce such a connector that will let you have read and writes performed at the same time. So an improvement by ATI, taken over by NVIDIA or just something that was in the pipeline as enhancement. - The Inquirer

NVIDIA's G80 is big, hot and sports new SLI logic

As for the rest, no one yet knows how many real pipelines this card has but you can rely on the 1.5GHz scalable clock rates. This doesn't mean much to us as in theory this card is super fast but we will be anxious to see it in action. The G80, GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS are the two biggest graphics cards ever. Samples should be distributed this week and some lucky chaps got the cards back at NVIDIA's editors dates. On November 8th the launch party of the G80 is supposed to take place in San Jose, complete with a 300 person at the GeForce LAN³ tournament.
