Nvidia increases the number of stream processors on new 8800 GTSs.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 12:02:53 Tue, October 30, 2007

When I was adding the new 8800 GTs yesterday I noticed that Evga and BFG had new 8800 GTSs listed. BFG's is listed with "112 Stream Processors" and Evga's are listed with stream processors of "96+" instead of the usual "96". Then Mike pointed me to the last paragraph of [H]ard|OCP's 8800 GT review. BFG also drafted a short press release for [H]ard|OCP on the subject which also stipulates that their new card will only be available from CompUSA. That is really all the information we have right now. I have made a new reference card type for these new 8800 GTSs. The only specification I have changed is the stream processor count for now. If you guys find more news about this please leave us a comment.

BFG GeForce 8800 GTS EE OC
Evga GeForce 8800 GTS
Evga e-GeForce 8800 GTS KO
Evga e-GeForce 8800 GTS SSC

UPDATE: There is a thread in the Evga forums were moderator EVGATech_JacobF is being very vague.

UPDATE 2 Update Harder: Some Ncix staff members have confirmed with Evga that these new 8800 GTSs are the ones that were rumored to come out in November. They also said it had a G92 core...

The people in this [H]ard|Forum thread have been doing a good job of staying on top of this stuff...

No way is this gonna beat the 8800gt.

I say they scrap the current 8800gts and rebrand it to something like 87xx and hurry up the new g90 or whatever core its gonna be called.

Still not enough to beat the 8800 GT I suppose . The shaders are running at a higher frequency on the 8800 GT than on a 8800 GTS .
