Here's the Christmas must-have for PC gamers out there: the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB graphics card, which was released today. Price range starts at US$ 299 and increases in relation to performance, with the most high-end model priced at US$ 349.

This would definitely be a boon for games like Crysis, Hellgate: London
and Unreal Tournament 3. Here are the product facts from NVIDIA:
  • Full support for current DirectX 9 games.
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB offers 25% more graphics processing power than NVIDIA products previously offered at the same price point.
  • The GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB also offers new features such as support for PCI Express 2.0, dual-link HDCP, and the second-generation PureVideo HD engine from NVIDIA.
  • The NVIDIA PureVideo HD engine delivers astounding Blu-ray and HD DVD movie picture quality on a PC with 100% offload of H.264 video decoding, freeing the CPU to perform other tasks and significantly reducing power consumption, heat, and noise.
  • All GeForce 8800 GPUs support NVIDIA SLI technology which allows you to use two graphics processors in unison, sharing the graphics workload.
