Yea true. When that G80 series came out, it just changed the world of graphic cards.

I think it's on there because it was the first card to support Quad SLI, which in itself is an achievement for the time.

8800GTX only beats the 8800GT at high resolutions which is kinda obvious thanks to the bus width and extra video ram.

3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 should have been the specific card for the Voodoo lineup (not the 6000 since it really never made it to retail).

Is the 8800GS/9600GSO listed? It is easily one of the best cards ever.

Last winter.... these cards were already $35-50. You can get near the performance of $150+ cards (8800GT pricing a year ago).

The 8800GT comes very close and surpasses on lower resolution games where the faster clock speeds play more of a role as opposed to framebuffer bus width.
