Is the 8800GT worth the extra $50 when compared to the 9600GT?
I am going to click the buy button on my new computer tomorrow, and am trying to decide between the 8800GT and 9600GT. I know they perform just about the same in most reviews, but the 9600GT has fewer stream processors. Does this mean that the 8800GT had more stream processors than it could ever use, or will future games widen the difference between the two cards? Are there any other differenced between the two cards?
Also, I heard the power consumption and heat generation was lower on the 9600GT, is this true? If I am only going to gain a few frames by going with the 8800GT, I'd rather save my money. But if there are other reasons to go with the 8800GT, I'll get that one. Thank you. |
