If you have the money i would get the GTX

narrow it down between the gtx and the 640mb gts...It's not worth buying the 320mb version. The 8800gts 640mb comes to around $330 (PNY), while a gtx can go to around $530...So depends if you really wanna spend $200 for that moderate performance margin. Keep in mind that both cards will run games on ultra high at over 40fps, so the gtx is overkill at the moment.

Basically, decide if the increase in performance justifies the large increase in price.

thanks alot, also what kind of performance boost would i be looking at if i had 2 of the 640MB GTS cards in SLi? thanks

not too much

less than 30 percent. 20 percent if you're lucky.

i think i'll pay the extra for the gtx to be future proof, thanks for all the great advice guys
