Whatever the resolution, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB comes in just behind the 8800 GTX, which manages to keep the lead. Nevertheless, the gap isn’t bigger than 10 %. However, we notice that the performances of the new 8800 GTS have difficulties distinguishing themselves from the 8800 GT under Test Drive Unlimited. The increase is only of 8% whatever the resolution (give or take 1 %), which is disappointing knowing the gap in raw throughput reaches 24 %. TDU is using a lot of textures and is quite sensitive to memory bandwidth, which doesn’t really evolve.

Yeah it is about time we seen a card faster than the gtx, I'm hardly excited that a year later the new cards are "almost" as fast as the gtx

Interesting. Soon they'll unleash the 9 series on us and boost their popularity again. All this feels like the build up to it.

You want to talk about rendering, just get the 8800GTX or Ultra, download the Human Head program and pick up your Jaw after it drops in aw, LOL!

P.S. I've heard you can run this program on the 8600 Cards as well but the F/R's aren't as good as the 8800 series.
