8800GS 384MB HDMI Card Tested

Nope, not the same graphics. Look closely and you'll see they used different
test systems.

Expreview used a QX9650 Penryn and Forceware 169.25.

Hardspell used a 2.4 GHz 6600 overclocked to 2.99 GHz and Forceware 169.23.

I grabbed the Expreview table and put it on Imageshack:

We actually get real-world game performance with this review, not just a
quick 3DMark run.

BTW, are you using Vista?

Interesting...I'm curious what the street price of these 192bit 8800GS cards
will be. The 512Mb 8800GT's are already under the $230-250Cdn range. Unless
these 8800GS cards are around the $150 mark when they hit market in Feb I
can't see them competing. I run Xp Pro on all systems. Not a really big
Vista fan, too much of a resource hog and framerate penalty for my liking,
pretty as it is. I've used it a lot and run it building other's systems, and
from what I can tell, in synthetic benches for 3D it typically scores 2000
or so less on 3DMark06 on a dual boot system vs XP, at least on the one or
two I've made that way . DX10 just isn't different enough to warrant my
conversion.

"The price of 384MB 8800GS and 768MB 8800GS is 1199CNY(165USD) and
1499CNY(204USD)"

The 8800GS uses the G92 core, with only 96 SPs and 12 ROPs enabled. These
cards are positioned one rung below the 8800GT in the nVidia lineup, and
priced accordingly. They certainly make a lot more sense than the 8600GT,
which couldn't even outperform cards from the GF7 generation.

Hmmm...in the link I posted GPU-Z 1.5 shows the 8800GS as having only 6
ROP's functioning. But it's also got some blank fields. Could be a
pre-production unit or GPU-Z 1.5 isn't seeing it properly yet.
