NVIDIA intends to head off upcoming video cards from AMD by moving up the schedule of its own mid-range hardware, claim Taiwanese graphics card makers. The company has reportedly shifted the release of its upcoming GeForce 8800 GT video card from November 12th to October 29th to beat AMD's ATI Radeon HD 2950 Pro to shelves and potentially take more sales in the market -- an especially cutthroat move when both cards are expected to be some of the most popular for their price/performance ratios, the sources say.
Nvidia 8800 GT Release now Oct 29th?

Good news. Maybe this will mean lower prices sooner.

As far as those benchmarks unless they were cherry picked, the 8800GT is a better card. However it's going to mess up their naming convention, and they are going to release and updated 8800GTS, that will be faster then this current batch.
All signs point to all this going from 8800GT->8900GT, and the updated GTS going to an 8900GTS. This isn't fact it just seems logical.

The GTS, the GTX, and the Ultra are older cards.
The 8800 GT is a brand new card that hasn't officially been released yet. Try looking for it again on Monday :-)
