Best nVidia card.

[fasterthanlight]

Is the 8800GTX the best nVidia card out still or is it at its last turn waiting for the new chipsets to come out? If so, when might the new 9xxx be due?

If you mean the fastest, then that's the 8800 Ultra, with the GTX being a close second.

But IMO, the best NVIDIA card out there, is actually the new 8800 GT 512. It's performance is a close match to that of the GTX, yet is costs $100-150 less. Can't beat it in terms of best bang for your buck.

D9E (next high-end) should debut in February 2008.

The new 8800GT cards are among the best ever produced by Nvidia. I curious how the new types of 8800GT, such as the Asus 1GB version will do.

Diggin my new EVGA 8800GT KO, though as i'm sure you've read it runs pretty hot. I just flashed up to the new bios that is supposed to help the fan spin up faster to sync with temps. the bios flash didn't help the fan speeds for me so i'm stickin with rivatuner for now. went and learned how to use it quick and it seems it has everything i need

I was debating going with the 8800 GTS soley due to the heatsink/fan , but i wanted the thinnner card, all the while suspecting that i will probably need to add an atfermarket cooler to it.
In the meantime i'm just going work on my case airflow and see if i can improve on it a lil...
