8800GT 256-Mbyte Cards to Ship announces cheaper Nvidia GeForce 8800GT cards
with just 256 Mbytes of onboard memory are being announced, as Nvidia's answer
to AMD's upcoming RV670 processor. The company's next card is a variant of the
GeForce 8800 GT with half its memory chopped off, its official price range
reduced from $199-249 to $179-199, and otherwise identical specifications. This
GeForce 8800 GT 256MB is scheduled to become available some time in the next two
weeks, which should allow Nvidia to counter AMD's Radeon HD 3800 offensive
expected in mid-November.
