I'm sure there are many ppl on here like myself that waited to see the price and benchmarks of the new GTS before making a decision on which of the cards to buy. Also with stocks so low on the GT when launched it made sense to wait. Having seen the price and performance difference I swiftly ordered a 8800GT for a sensible price. At my native resolution of 1680/1050 this card will last me well until 9800 series gets a mid range. At £60-£70 difference for A G92 GTS with minimal performance increase and a better cooler there was no choice imo. I bet anyone who got a 8800GT for £150 at launch are feeling rather smug! :)
 
The GT is as much as I payed for this GTS so im glad I went for the GTS, I was gonna wait til the GT dropped in price again but who knows how long that could take if ever.
 
From what I have read just get the cheapest and overclock it! ocuk reference card would be fine. I think it may be out of stock again though :mad:

Same ^^
 
I had a 8800GT since launch, however it died last week and I got a refund. I am still looking to get a 8800GT rather than the new GTS. However, I can't get hold of those GT's. It's rather annoying.
 
I've gone from a EVGA SSC GT which I had to RMA because it couldn't run at it's pre-overclocked speed to a stock GTS and it has cost me 7 quid. I should easily be able to OC the GTS myself past what the GT was capable of. So for me the GTS price I paid over the GT was fine.

wouldn't be surprised! I have the ocuk one and the sticker's peeled off the cooler it got that hot playing crysis! It's nice and cool with an S1 on it now though :)
 
Sold my ultra, pre-ordered a zotac 88GT AMP before the price went up, saw a few reviews of the GTS, then saw some early results, and have now ordered the GTS and cancelled my pre-order for the GT....

Does that count? :D

Did you see this one at Anandtech?

8800 GTS 512 vs. 8800 Ultra

The 8800 Ultra was expensive when it was released in May of this year, and honestly not much has changed. The 8800 GTS 512 outclasses the Ultra in just about every category, the exception being raw memory bandwidth. The question we're looking to answer first is whether there's still a need for the 8800 Ultra, or if this sub-$400 card makes 2007's most expensive single GPU obsolete.
