Seems nvidia is cashing in on these extra (re)cycles of the 8800 tech. New processes but nothing else is new.
The observation is being made "hey, I can get near GTX speeds for half the price!". Well duhh, of course you can. It's a year after the GTX is out and if nvidia stuck to the refresh schedule of the past, they'd have their next gen card out now and guess what.. a 8800 GTX wouldn't be worth even half of what it retails for now. So it is really truely unexciting that there is some card out now that delivers almost the same performance as a year old card at half the price of what the year old card cost a year ago.. blah.
new gen asap plz, don't pretend your catoring to enthusiasts nvidia with SLi of midrange recycled tech.
