As if Nvidia's GeForce 8800 cards weren't already fast enough, XFX is taking it upon themselves to be the first company to overclock them, sending them into hyperspeed territory. At the head of the pack is the 8800 GTX XXX Edition which is overclocked from 575MHz to 630MHz. Meanwhile the core clock on the 8800 GTS XXX Edition gets a kick up from 500 MHz to 550MHz. Pricing on the cards isn't out yet, but you can expect to pay a nice premium for them when they do come out. – Louis Ramirez

Nvidia G84 GPUs Right Around the Corner?

If you haven't been able to get your hands on one of those GeForce 8800 GTX cards we've shown you (or if you just can't afford them), you might want to hold off for a bit. Seems like Nvidia's forthcoming G84 and G86 GPUs for the entry level and mid range crowd are on target for a Q1 release. The chips will be derived from the current G80 and will have less real pipelines than their counterparts, but in turn they'll be priced in the $199 to $249 range, which considering the cost of the current 8800 cards sounds good to us. – Louis Ramirez

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX Puts ATI Back in the Doghouse

It wasn't too long ago we showed you some images of what appeared to be a GeForce 8800 graphics card in the wild, and now the folks at Daily Tech have one upped that preview with a full hands-on review of their own. The card, which takes up two expansion slots and requires two PCI Express power connectors, easily trounces ATI's top dog, the Radeon X1950 XTX in all of Daily Tech's gaming benchmarks. (Daily Tech's card was packing 768MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 900MHz). Interestingly enough, the card has two SLI bridge connectors which would allow you to set up a three-card system. As for power, both Nvidia and Daily Tech recommend a 450-watt power supply. The card, which we personally can't wait to get a hold of, is expected to make its debut next week. – Louis Ramirez

Nvidia has been pretty tight-mouthed on details of their next-gen DirectX 10 card (DirectX 10 will be the graphics standard on Windows Vista), but now it seems someone's gotten a hold of one of their yet to be released cards. It's hard to tell whether the images are fake or not, but spec-wise the card sounds like it's worth the wait. It'll be based on the G80 GPU and have a core clock scalable to 1.5GHz. Other mouth-watering details include 768MB of DDR4 memory and a built-in hybrid water/fan cooler for overclocking. More sultry video card pics after the jump. – Louis Ramirez
