This post is historically interesting. Read on why this post is a gem hidden deep in the archive treasure. Barely 4 years later, I actually got around to do some work in CUDA.

The 8800 cards are out, with great performance, excellent image quality and a totally new architecture. Well done, people, finally someone with courage to try something radically different. They even redesigned the homepage for it 
Moreover, they have released a C-API for the 8800 cards, dubbed CUDA. Gotta take a look at that as soon as I have access to a 8800 card, which might take a longer while.
Official page, Hexus.net review and the very interesting architecture overview from the guys at Beyond3d.com.
