£20 more for a 9800GT worth it?

[Dazzeerr]

First off, Merry Christmas! Hehe.

I'd like your guys opinion on this, i know there isn't much difference in the 8800GT and 9800GT but i'm still not sure which i want.

BFG Geforce 8800GT OC 512mb for £80
or
XFX Geforce 9800GT 512mb for £102

Both are brands im happy to go with and good looking cards, although the XFX card looks quite a bit nicer Is the £20 extra worth it for the 9800GT?

Also, is £145 really the cheapest Q6600 around for the UK?



Oh another question... is the 8800GTS G92 512mb better than the 8800GT now? I heard they changed something and made new GTS' with the G92 chip or whatever. ?

 

[just a noob]

the only real difference is that some 9800's are 55nm cores, and a different bios, thats about all

Ya. Just go with the 8800GT.

Slightly off-topic, but is there much difference between the 8800GTX and the 9800GTX?
