The older 90nm GPUs required card manufacturers to add a separate display chip onto each card, but that functionality is now integrated into the GeForce 8800 GT. The GPU also includes an upgraded PureVideo processing engine. PureVideo performs HD DVD and Blu-ray high-definition video decoding work, which is usually done on the CPU. Moving the work to the GPU will let people watch HD video content on systems with less powerful CPUs. The GeForce 8800 GT has two dual-link HDCP DVI connectors, which let 30" widescreen LCD owners watch HD movies in full-screen at 2560x1600.   GPUGeForce 8800 GTGeForce 8800 GTSGeForce 8800 GTX Price$249 $279 (320MB), $375 (640MB)$499  Stream Processors11296128 Shader Clock1.5GHz1.2GHz1.35GHz Core Clock600MHz500MHz575MHz Memory512MB GDDR3320MB-640MB GDDR3768MB GDDR3 Memory Clock900MHz800MHz900MHz Memory Interface256-bit320-bit384-bit   The GeForce 8800 GT features 112 stream processors clocked at 1.5GHz, which is close to the GeForce 8800 GTX's 128 stream processors clocked at 1.35GHz and much better than the GeForce 8800 GTS's 96 stream processors clocked at 1.2GHz. The GTX and GTS cards still have superior 384-bit and 320-bit memory interfaces, respectively, but many high-end GPUs still use a 256-bit memory interface just like the GeForce 8800 GT. If the GeForce 8800 GTS sounds like the odd card out, that's because it is. Nvidia has already discontinued the 320MB version and is keeping the 640MB around only to satisfy channel demand. Nvidia will have to upgrade the GTS soon if the company wants to keep the brand relevant in the GeForce 8800 GT era.</blockquote>
