OK... My friend offered to sell me one of these, for about what they sell for on ebay... (£30ish)

Is this a good GPU?

Also, does it come in 512mb size, because I can only see 256mb on the net, but he seems adamant its 512mb...

Thanks,
Harry
 
£30-50 sound about right,Yes theres 256mb,512mb and 1gb versions of the 8800GT....i also believe a company which ive never heard of called Jetway released a 2gb version!

Its a good gpu,i had one previusly before upgrading,however it did show its age in MW2 and GTA IV.....but still playable on medium settings and looks good :)

You could overclock it to gain more performance!

Cheers guys!
Basically confirmed what I thought... :)

How much performance would be gained with the overclocking, and how much extra heat does overclocking a GPU create?
 
well i cant exactly remember how much performance gain i got from my Asus 8800Gt,it was some time ago..but iirc i had it overclocked to around 730 ish on the gpu...not sure about memory etc :cool:

What i do remember,Even with that overclock i had,the temps only rised about 2-4c at the most...then again i did have the better Glaciator cooler on it so...realy depends on what the cooler is on yours and how good the airflow is in your case.
 
Well idk if the 8800gt is the same as the gtx was but I played Crysis on High fine with my old gtx. And if it is the same that card will crush a 3870.....
