8800GTS (G92) or 8800GTX (G80)?

by Siberia • 25 Dec 2007, 22:51 • Journals
I'm planning on buying a new PC, but I don't know what videocard I need to buy.
Some people say that the new 8800GTS ( with the new chipset G92) outruns the old 8800GTX.
Which one should I go for?
Thnx.

this is confusing, why should i go for the gts if the gtx is better... because of price vs performance?

its better by ,i dunno, 5% tops? paying 100 euros more for it makes no sense

its pretty simple (sorted by performance)

8800ULTRA super expensive
8800GTX quite expensive
8800GTS 92 ok
8800GT cheap
8800GTS expensive

The new GT, simply because its better. Referring to your system.

Afaik as I can remember the new GTS was the budget version of the GTX? ut in terms of performance the GTX was only 15% better, for a price difference of 300 €, something like that...
So I would go for the GTS!

I have got the 8800 GT for 270 euros with new chipset and ready overclocked. Good thing and nVidia claims the new chipset performs better than the old.

Yeah. you should read Assasin his comment as well:

Quote by Assasin ye but gtx cost 600€, gt is only 300€ so its better 8800gt sli than 8800gtx


Your system will run incredibly smooth I guess = )

theres a newer 8800gts out now. instead of a 512 meg, its a 1 gig card. not seen any tests on it yet, but id imagine it must be real sweet....

max. 3% more performance because of the relatively small Bit-Connection (218afaik) between Chip and Ram
