Will TR ever review the 8800GS?

fantastic

I hope this is reviewed by TR and pals. I also hope it comes with passive cooling. The 9600GT is attractive, but about 100 Watts for just the video card is too much. The 8600GT was not that much faster than the 7600GT in DX9 games if I remember correctly. Now that I'm going to try Vista I might want a DX10 card, but the 7600GT (I plan on using) only uses about 35 Watts and has passive cooling.

It's a good thing, but this is really just Nvidia letting the mid/low end benefit from G92's improvements.

When are we going to see something *interesting* from Nvidia??
