8800GTS = outdated product, not energy efficient, not available for notebooks, not available for AGP, not available for Mac, ... killer hardware for the masses, indeed!
I would say the best happening to gfx programmers these days are the 9400M/9600M/3650M chips if nVIDIA/ATI can get it into as many systems as possible and for the decreasing percentage of desktop systems there are the 9600GT and 4670 already.
