NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS 512MB G92 Tested @ Tweaktown

Looks like I'll be keeping my 8800GT until the high-end 9800s, or whatever they'll be called, come out.

It should have been ULTRA performance at stock since its got higher clocks.

Looks like I'm keeping me 8800GT then going by that review

According to this, it's slower than a 3870 & GT in Crysis (medium settings):

2fps faster as high settings.

Was that on tweaktown or another review?

Sir Random · 29 Nov 2007 at 13:23

That's tweaktown

silversurfer · 29 Nov 2007 at 13:23

Yea thats tweaktown, crysis gives slightly weird results in general it seems. Needs new drivers for this card?

tux3r · 29 Nov 2007 at 13:26

Well well well, I'm not really impressed, little performance gain...

I think I'll just buy a GT, it's a hell to get one over here, and probably the same goes for the GTS when it releases, and I just don't think it's worth waiting for...

Retailers will be able to sell the GT for £180 + for a few months yet so think about it what reason would they sell the GTS for anything under £250 for?

Yeah, those results don't make a lot of sense.

It's a pity there isn't a benchmark of the later stages of the game, where all aspects of the card are tested. The early parts aren't really that stressful, so the benchmark isn't a true representation of how the game will perform (as we all found out when playing it).

Well from what ive read, there is big quantities of the GT due and some places are now getting them in and the premium is going

Halleluya! - and thanks for the heads up - i'll start looking around again now, seeing as OcUk havent dropped any of their prices yet.

easyrider · 29 Nov 2007 at 13:41

This is dissapointing.

No much Faster than GT

Nymins · 29 Nov 2007 at 13:43

Sorry to sound stupid, but what does the 'premium' mean on GPU's? Is it just the fairly high release price?

no_1_dave · 29 Nov 2007 at 13:53

2fps quicker then the GT in Crysis..!
LMAO

waso_dude · 29 Nov 2007 at 14:03

Get the gts, and find out that it doesn't clock as well as the GT.

that would be a nice upturn

wilson · 29 Nov 2007 at 14:08

Not much better then a GT, and certainly bang/buck is a lot lower. Might as well grab a GT and wait for the next killer GPU next year.

9800 still won't max crysis at a reasonable level of frames.

Things change I've changed · 29 Nov 2007 at 14:20

sooooooo then, looks like gtx is still top :cool:

, dam this card is gonna last me a year and half the ways things going lol.

agreed, I was thinking that when I was playing the last few levels, even twice the frame rate wouldn't be enough, where looking at 2 generations of gpu's before Crysis starts getting real smooth.

We don't know that, it's an assumption and not a fact.

easyrider · 29 Nov 2007 at 14:29

This really needs to be priced correctly in order to sell against the GT.
