ok so its probs been here...n my last thread ended up in disaster a lil bit back due to people saying its been posted or watever but here goes....

ok so a month maybe 2 back i baught the 8800GTS 320MB OC2 im running a c2d rig (E6600) and 2 gig of geil
i currently own the thermaltake shark but it got me thinking if i should go smaller so i was looking at the lanbox by thermaltake but i was looking around to check temps etc but cant find any decent places, i was also thinking (and this is why i post it here) of getting a 22" Widescreen BUT everyone ive seen is recommending the 640MB Ver for this

my mate currently runs a 22" asus with his Evga 8800GTS 320 (with a similar spec to mine) n has had no probs with lag on oblivion, css, fear, bioshock etc
ive also seen a few builds where there getting a gts 320 n a 22" but everyone recommends a 640 so im a bit concerned :S

would it worth me dumping this n going for the 640 or what??

TY in advance if you reply

For 22"+ i would recommend a 640mb gts yes.

but i already have the 320, would it be worth stepping up just for the reason of a 22" ws

If you can sell the 320 for agood price and spend a minimal extra for a 640 it would be worth it, faster clocks at stock and more ram = good.

Otherwise no stick with it until the next gen cards are out.

i was just reading about why it would need more mem, due to the higher res
my friend has no problem n tbh i dont think anyone i know would buy it off me :S

i mainly play css, ive ran everything AA maxxed out etc no probs on 1280 x 1024 when my friend gets up im guna see what his settings are n talk to him bout it once again ty mrk n horn

I have a 320mb on my 22" and to be honest I have been looking at getting a GTX.. I like to run game at full everything and I find that the 320MB GTS struggles, in my eyes, on some games...

Like LoTRo with high res textures ans AA for example.

I have gone the 22" route, but tbh i wish i could have tried 2 x 19" before i made my choice. I still prefer 1280x1024 on most of the current first person shooters.

2 of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-051-LG&groupid=17&catid=276&subcat= may of been a better option.
