With the launch of their 8800GT , nVidia is chalking up quite a few firsts. Its their first high-end GPU produced using 65nm technology which also allows them to use a single slot cooling solution. This is also their first card based on PCI Express 2.0 specification. Lastly, this is also their only 512MB based card in the 8800 series- GTS had 320 or 640MB while the GTX and Ultra were outfitted with 768MB. Lets take a look at how the 8800GT compares to the other 8800 series cards as far as specification are concerned:
..................................8800GTS............8800GTX............8800GT
Core Clock...................500MHz..............575MHz..............600MHz
Shader Clock..............1200MHz.............1350MHz............1500MHz
Memory Clock.............1600MHz.............1800MHz............1800MHz
Stream Processors..........95.....................128................... 112
Pixel Processors..............24......................32.....................28
Vertex Processors...........20......................24.....................16
Fill Rate (Billion/s)...........24......................36.8...................33.6
Memory Interface..........320-bit................384-bit...............256-bit
Memory Bandwidth..........10.....................13.8.....................9


Looking at the specifications above, the 8800GT has faster core speed than the GTX and the GTS while the memory speed remains the same as GTX and faster than GTS. It also has Stream, Pixel and Vertex Processors that are more than the GTS but lower than the GTX. With lesser processors and higher clock speeds than the GTX
