DailyTech has taken a G80 for a little bit of a pre-release test drive and came up with some very impressive results.
"Half Life 2: Lost Coast loves the GeForce 8800GTX. Here the GeForce 8800GTX is able to show significant performance gains over AMD's ATI Radeon X1950 XTX-approximately 92%.
Quake 4 shows similar gains as Half Life 2: Lost Coast too, an approximate 92% improvement.
Prey is based on the same game engine as Quake 4. However, Prey shows smaller performance differences between the GeForce 8800GTX and ATI Radeon X1950 XTX, albeit its still 60%."

You just know you need two of these in SLI to deal out some major damage in your favorite FPS. Count us in as here at TWL we are ready to put on the lab coat and fire two of these bad boys up and bring you the gritty details. Will ATI be able to offer a competitive product? Will the G80 redefine your electric bill? Will they be able to squeeze the G80 into a 12" laptop? Will the G80 run for the presidency?
