The 8800 GT does a very convincing imitation of the GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB when running the latest games, even at high resolutions and quality settings, with antialiasing and high-quality texture filtering. Its G92 GPU has all of the GeForce 8800 goodness we've come to appreciate in the past year or so, including DX10 support, coverage-sampled antialiasing, and top-notch overall image quality. The card is quiet and draws relatively little power compared to its competitors, and it will only occupy a single slot in your PC. That's a stunning total package, sort of what it would be like if Jessica Biel had a brain.

With pricing between $199 and $249, I find it hard to recommend anything else—especially since we found generally playable settings at 2560x1600 resolution in some of the most intensive new games (except for Crysis, which is in a class by itself.) I expect we may see some more G92-based products popping up in the coming weeks or months, but for most folks, this will be the version to have.

You might have missed it in the other thread, but all the 8800's can run 2 30" monitors, due to dual dual-link dvi ports. You might have meant you wanted 2 cards for performance, though.
