Trotter Grandfather of Techist, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Staff member Messages 33,560 Location The South Dec 25, 2006 #4 I'm not sure... I remember it being mentioned on theinquirer.net, though. I'm thinking the time frame was 1Q07, possibly Feb.

T Trifid Fully Optimized Messages 4,010 Dec 26, 2006 #8 The 8800GTX is fast to the point you do not really care about a few fps... And no. The GTX has 128 Stream Processors which is a renamed unified shader model so that is the combined pixel and shader pipelines. The GTS has 96.
