8800 320mb GTS Feb 12th.

possibly we will see though :) should be really good performance regardless I would suspect!

Im still gaming at 1280x1024 but I want dx10 goodness so the 320mb version should do me okay! Im gonna join that g80 club :) and also may look foolish when ATi release their offerings :(

I think if anyone wants to 'do an easyrider' (as it is euphemistically being called) then NOW is the time to sell your x1950 Pro Turbo, x1800XT, x1900XT, x1950XT, 7900 GTO, 7950 GT, 7900 GTX, etc... before these new 8800s kill the value of them.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED :D

hehe we know mate we know ;) dont you worry though it wont take me long to get my pro on that auction site but tbh I would probably try selling it on here for sub 100
 
I just found where it was, now all it has is...

BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

*Sorry, this product is currently not available*

Will more likely upgrade my X1800XT to this.

Loadsa jst hpe your x1800xt messes up like mines so you can also attempt an rma ;)

Yeah lol, i dont really need to upgrade yet as it cuts through everything maxed fine 1280x1024 here, but these are less than £200, and it doesn't help that R600 is a matter of weeks away as well, oh man what to do. :p

It won't cut through Rainbow 6 even on low quality @ 1280x960 ;)

I dont think that 320mb will be ok for me,I play games at 1650x1050 res
So would i need the 640mb version?

Hi there

These cards are hardly any slower than the 640MB versions. Will certainly handle 1650x1050 resolution without breaking a sweat. :)
 
Does anyone know the expected power requirements for these cards? How do they compare to older nvidia incarnations? e.g. 7900 GTO

My friend upgraded from a 7900gto to a 8800gts 640mb and is not disapointed also there is a lot of overclocking headroom. Easy to go from 510mhz on the core to 640mhz :D memory overclocks nicely too ;) Min frame rate in 2142 was significantly raised, by almost double IIRR.

The poorly coded R6 VEGAS doubled in frames too and ran far more smoothly with the GTS. The difference in 3dmarks ect could easily be found online and changes from rig to rig. The 7900gto for example would not be that cpu limited with an AMD cpu but in 3dmark benchmarks the 8800 series areand gain 1000's from an oc'd C2D.

HOw comparable is the GTS length to an x1950pro?

Well the 640mb GTS is the same length as the x1900's/x1950 XT/-X's, so if the pro is the same length as those, then the GTS will be same length, just depends if these 320mb ones are a bit shorter than that due to having less memory chips on them. :)
 
Seeing as we know the cost and details of the BFG 8800 GTS, you may as well let us know the details and prices of other models that'll be available on launch. :D
