Will sure be better than 8800 in Gamin too. Any idea of price?

I doubt that, these are NOT gaming cards. The cost of cards like these easily go into the thousands.

one of the cards costs about $2000 and the other is about $3000. They are meant for high-end video editing, and not for gaming. The cards were not designed for fast performance with games, but to handle 3D rendering with the utmost of speed.
