On November 8th, 2006 NVIDIA unveiled their next generation of DirectX 10 GPUs. This new generation known by codename as the G80 supersedes the GeForce 7 series of video cards we have all known for the last year. NVIDIA hard launched two video cards based on the new G80 GPU, they are known as the GeForce 8800 GTX and the GeForce 8800 GTS. The GeForce 8800 GTX is at the top, it is currently the fastest video card you can buy on the planet for gaming, period. Below it is the cheaper, and slightly slower, GeForce 8800 GTS. Don’t let anyone dissuade you from it though, it may be slower, but in today’s game it still packs a punch like no other video card out there.
