Anandtech Review said:We have yet to play with benchmarks on PCIe 2.0, but we don't expect any significant impact on current games and consumer applications. Currently we aren't bandwidth limited by PCIe 1.1 with its 4GB/sec in each direction, so it's unlikely that the speed boost would really help.
good news. i wish someone would actually get these things in stock.
here's a review by ananandtech.
AnandTech: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT: The Only Card That Matters
seems the gt performs pretty close to the gtx.
After reading the Toms hardware review and checking out the Crysis demo performance one thing comes to mind...the ATI 2900xt practically loses in virtually every single aspect...so wheres Apokalypse to defend ATI now?
Remember that Crysis is supposedly to be ahead of current hardware by 2 or 3 years at least thats what said CEO of Crytek if I remember correct.

You have to realize they are benching against current 640mbs. the new ones are supposed to have more shaders in which bringing the 8800GT back down to the bottom of the todem pole "supposedly".True and at the same time funny if you look charts from Nvidia the GTS is suppose to be better, but in reality from what have shown the Performance Preview Articles is not.
Thats becasue Oblivion was horribly coded just like Test Drive Unlimited. I play it quite easily.Oblivion was far ahead of it's time. It brought the mighty 7900GTX and many cards to come to it's knees at max quality...it was not until the 8800 series that Oblivion could be played on high quality outside with 50+ FPS and honestly if you enable AA at 1600x1200 Oblivion will cripple an 8800GTS fairly easily outside.
