Not only does this new GPU boast an entirely new massively-parallel unified architecture, it also marks the beginning of a new era in 3D graphics - DirectX 10. Almost a year later, NVIDIA is finally launching a refresh of the G80 GPU - the NVIDIA G92 GPU. It is also known as the D8P, short for Desktop 8 Performance. Although the basic architecture remains unchanged from the G80, the G92 comes with some nifty improvements. This is why the G92 has 73 million more transistors than the G80 even though it actually has fewer shader processors. Here's a quote from the report :-[blockquote]"The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT will incidentally be the world's first graphics card to support PCI Express 2.0. That means it is capable of supporting up to 32 PCI Express lanes, essentially doubling the PCI Express bandwidth to 16 GB/s when installed in a compatible motherboard."[/blockquote] Link : NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Technology Report
