This is a good card, but the 8800 GT is still the better buy. Regarding performance, this card sits between the 8800 GS (the replacement for the 8600 GTS) and the 8800GT. That's why it's cheap. Overall, it's nVidia's replacement for the dissappointing GeForce 8600 series.
Oh, and unrelated, but ATi's response to this card is a price cut on the Radeon HD3850 and Radeon HD3870 series cards. They're now $169.99 and $189.99 respectively.
P.S. The GeForce 9 series is NOT a new generation of cards. It's the GeForce 8 series shrunk to 65nm with higher clock speeds. Bewrae if you buy a "GeForce 9" thinking the performance will be far superior to a "GeForce 8". Depending on the card, it'll only be marginally better, if at all. The only two cards clearly better (the 9800GX2 and 9800GTX), which won't even be THAT much greater, are going to cost so much it won't be worth it. The 8800 GT is still the buy for the value, and looks to remain that way for some time.
