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.

Evga 8800 GTS 512

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.
