THis is a pretty good deal if you are in the market for a new vid card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130318

This might even be a better deal (faster GPU, but less RAM) 8800 GTS 320 MB - $114!!! - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130082

The GTS is not fasters than the GT by any margin, it has less stream processor units and its core is clocked lower. So no, it is not a faster GPU.

Hmm - You sure?

I see the GTS outperforming the GT here:

Must be different revs of the board or something, but both Crysis and COD 4, the 512 MB GTS is beating the GT and these are the two most demanding games there is.

Found it - depends on which rev of the board you have (Way to confuse people NVidia!). One reve has 4 less shaders, but the G92 has 4 more shaders than the GT:

thats the 512mb version, the 320mb version should be avoided

RickC Sniper · 03-27-08, 01:01 PM

Why would the 8800 GTS 512mb consistantly perform way above a 8800 GTS 640mb.

They are both GTS cards but on those tests the one with more ram was thumped by the one with less ram.

Edit
Nevermind, you already answered it.

The 512 MB version is the G92 version - more speed on GPU, and 8 more stream procs.

Where can I get the dimensions of these cards? I googled my arse off but had no luck. I have a fairly compact case.

......thanks in advance

err, how about EVGA's web site

http://www.evga.com/products/prodlis...+Series+Family

If you click on a product, they have PDF's of each one, with dimensions included.

The 8800 GTS 320MB and the 8800 GT 512MB perform very similar, I have both. The GT is marginally better at f.i. low reolutions like 1280x1024, but performs noticably better at higher res and when AA and AF is enabled.

Thanks Seafarer.
