which is better

[mission68]

hi i have the BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) but i have seen the BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) on overclockers for around the same price i am getting 1 of these for my sons new pc but was thinking if its better then the 1 i have, i would put it in my pc and give him mine

8800GT is about 8800GTX performance

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Definately much better, as its GTX performance as said above, i went from a 320mb GTS to a GT here, totally blows it.

 

[mission68]

so is a big difference and worth my while swaping it or is there anything else out there for the 200 mark

 

[Nymins]

The new GTS's are coming out soon and could (i emphasise could) be around the £200 mark. Not completely sure when they are coming out though.

If you can wait a little the GT price will slump to £150 - £160 region as it should be. The new GTS will probably be around £200 mark I think. £200 for a GT is outrageous.

 

[mission68]

so will the new gts be far faster then the gt and much faster then the BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB GDDR3 that i already have am confused now

Current GTS: 80nm | 96 stream processors | 320/640mb 320bit | core/shader/mem:500/1200/1600

New GT: 65nm | 112 stream processors | 256/512mb 256bit | core/shader/mem:600/1500/1800

New GTS: 65nm | 128 stream processors | 512mb 256bit

the "new" gts is the gt with 16 extra sps, nobody knows about the prices and performance yet but it should perform a bit better than the GTX.

i think with the gt still been around the 170 to 200 the gts will be higher than 200,more towards the 250 i think

You can pre-order a GT for much less than that. Not having a go, just pointing it out.
