As to the question above, it is a VERY good one. First of all the 112SP-based 8800GTS is not available in a non-overclocked version and next of all (I believe you were also refering to the GT review) we were not able to get our hands on a stock clocked 8800GT. To tell you the truth, it was only the overclocked versions from XFX and EVGA that were available through Canadian retailers on launch day. Finally, about the GTX question...in the review (or updated forum post depending on which way we decide to do this) there WILL be a GTX tested along with the 8800GTS 112SP since I finally got my hands on an stock Asus model. If you have any more question, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask. Oh, and for all upcoming reviews, the Very High detail setting will be used on Crysis benchamrks. Personally, I can't wait to bench the retail version since I hate benching demos (which is why the Crysis demo is the only demo benched). Remember, since I am running under Vista, medium settings means DX9 but when I am under High or Very High settings we are in Crysis DX10 mode. The benchmark you see above is done in Vista under High settings..which according to the task manager is DX10...which would explain the drop in performance
