Did I completely miss the release of 8800GS??

[LukeBird]

Was having a look around on scan (a decent UK-based etailer) at the 3870X2's and pondering a future purchase
Saw a banner advertising the XFX Alpha Dog edition of the 8800GS...

In stock as well
Judging by the fact they have 384mb RAM & are 192-bit, they seem like half an 8800GTX

there is a GS?!?!

Well I knew there was supposed to be, but I hadn't heard any rumours about a launch date for it or anything.
Let alone it being on sale over here?!

It will be out soon. Only certain manufacturers in different parts of the world will have it. In US it's eVGA and I believe XFX also.

Thats pretty cool. I wonder if this will come close to performance with the G80 GTS.
