8800gts or GTX

sammytheman · 03-17-2007, 07:07 PM

Hey fellas I need some feedback as to which one should I get. An 8800 GTS OC2 OVERCLOCKED, 580MHz core clock, Shader Clock: 1350MHz , Memory Clock: 1700MHz is going for $520 Canadian. 640MB

A BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC nVidia GeForce 8800GTX Chipset 600MHz core Clock shader clock: 1400MHz, memory clock: 1800MHz for $743 Canadian. 768MB.

The only REAl difference I see is 640MB vs 768MB. The clocks are VERY close. I dont know how much of a difference will there be in terms of gaming performance. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

yes it doesnt seem worth the $220 more for a 50mhz increase in shader clock but the memory clock is a lot faster on the gtx but definatly not 200 dollars worth more, my vote is towards the gts

The clocks have almsot nothing to do with the differences between the two!

The 8800GTS has 96 stream processors, 24 pipelines, and 20 raster ops.
The 8800GTX has 128 stream processors, 32 pipelines, and 24 raster ops.

And also, the 8800GTS performs 48000 Shader Ops/sec, while the GTX performs 73600 Ops/sec.

How much do you think the difference will be in terms of playing games with the above 2 cards?

Not worth it IMO.

Depends if you can spend the money better elsewhere.
IE, faster cpu, mainboard, ram.. etc...

looks good for its price though lets hope it works good.

i don't think it's worth it, you can easily overclock it with the omega drivers and spend the extra money on more ram
