i heard bfg are making a 8800 gt with 512mb memory

i sold my 8800 gts 320mb last month because i needed the money

a couple of questions

are they better than the 8800gts that i had before?
if so...

1. No one can really answer that question so I've edited it out ~ Zefan.
2. how much are we talking?
3. if i ran a gts comfortably in my rig before will this have any compatibility issues?

im not really sure what the new pci express slot does
 
i just seen them for preorder on ocuk
sorry for being a douche
so thats question 1 answered
anybody else got any input for the rest?
 
The GT's are way faster than the GTS, even the 640mb GTS, they are only a couple or so frames behind the GTX, and thats with AA/AF, they are astonishing cards, they've rendered the GTX, and even the Ultra worthless (unless your on 30 inchers), as they are only £150+.

Good review here :- http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce_8800_gt_performance/

A few more in here :- http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17796575

There wont be any compatability problems as PCI-E 2.0 is backwards compatible, so you'll be fine.


Replacing my 320mb GTS with one to. :D

Ther's about 5x threads which deal with the 8800GT in this seciton, use some initiative and read them! :p
 
They are available, just these guys aint got theirs in yet which im very suprised about, as these guys are launch partners for Nvidia cards, so dunno whats happened there, lovers tiff maybe. :p
 
GT is the current card to own even more so than a GTX, the performance difference between the two is minimal, only very high rez and lots of AA will show the GTX to be significantly faster, the card is a revelation from Nvidia.;)
