Nvidia 8800GT renders retail

By Crytek CEO Cevalt Yerli's own admission, Crysis is a high-end game. However, it also happens to be one of the most anticipated shooters on the horizon, and one that has many PC gamers downloading its demo and contemplating upgrades. With that game quickly approaching its November 16 release, Nvidia today announced that its GeForce 8800GT is now available at retail.

A budget-line model of the GeForce 8 series cards, the 8800GT is aimed at the $199-to-$259 price range.
