Today we take a look at the new G92 version of the GeForce 8800 GTS graphics card from Nvidia featuring 512MB of onboard memory and a suggested retail value of around $350 US. This new 512MB version is designed to replace the existing 320/640MB 8800 GTS graphics cards, offering better performance at the same price point. But how will this new graphics card fair against the existing 8800 GT and GTX competition, not to mention the Radeon HD 3870!

Measuring the performance of the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 has been difficult, as we found it to be slower than the GTX in some tests while faster in others. Furthermore, while the 8800 GTS 512 did remain constantly ahead of the 8800 GT, the winning margin constantly changed depending on the game. For example, the 8800 GTS 512 was 7% faster in Quake Wars and 13% faster in S.T.A.L.K.E.R, while there was a 38% performance advantage seen in F.E.A.R! So determining where the 8800 GTS 512 sits in terms of performance in the GeForce 8800 family is not easy.
