Quick 8800 question

[peter212693]

Hi all,

Im selling my 2900XT simply because it needs to go before its totaly worthless.

My question is which card do I buy. I think im going to go "to the dark side" and get a 8800. Do I get the BFG OC GT that is on offer this week or add the little extra for the GTS or even GTX.

Dont want to spend loads tbh. I game at 1680x1050 so what do you guys think is the best option for me

Thanks

Id either go with the EVGA 8800 GT or 8800 GTS 512 MB, if your going for a GTS go for a G92 version as the older ones are pretty much worthless performance wise compared with the G92.

The BFG 8800 GTS 512 OC is pretty lethal at 1680x1050, tbh.

Edit: Though if you're an AA junkie you'll benefit from the wider bus the GTX offers. For example, Rainbow Six Vegas suffers somewhat with 2x AA on my system (maybe I'm doing something wrong)

plus with the bfg you get a lifetime warranty
