8800gt vs 8800gts

[Roeg1]

Guys my friend as offered me almost as much as i payed for my bfg oc 2 8800GT
As i said i was after a GTS when they come out. Now from my first impressions it wasn't worth the hassle of selling my old card and buying a new one. plus there was many benchmarks at first.

Can anyone tell me if its would be worth the switch..?
the GTS im looking at is the bfg oc one


I have a 24 inch monitor aswell if that helps as i like to game at the highest res pos

I have both and I don't think the premium for the 8800GTs is worth it however I am impressed with the overclocks that people have been getting with the 8800GTs 512MB, they do seem to overclock better?

Still is that worth £XYZ extra pounds? dunno really thats your call. Also the double slot cooler is really nice, needs a little tweaking but I found it quiet and it cooled the card great running at 60% fan at full load, having said that the new 8800GT single slot coolers are really good also. . .

Whats the price difference your looking at anyway?

As the price has no doubt come down since you bought, you could get a second GT with the better cooler with the money

GTS would be better on a 24", should be worth the difference on that id have thought, and depending on how much extra your going to have to pay, its only at lower res's where its not worth it.

GTS would be better on a 24"

Why? a few extra SPs or a little more overclock? what?

If you can get most of your money back from 8800GT then I'd say go for it.
