Ok, how much of a difference in performance are we talking here?
Point is, i already have the EVGA 8800GT (Superclocked version @ 650). Happy with it actually…even the cooler is ok (i run fans @ 75% while gaming and temps stay below 70 so me ok with it).
Just thinking..does it make any sense to go for the GTS? just the usual upgrade urges
If you have a overclocked 8800GT, best you can expect is <15% more performance with a reference 8800GTS. does not justify an upgrade as it also entails spending around 4-5K more. Instead, if you want to upgrade, wait and then go for overclocked 9800GTX that will definitely beat 8800 Ultra. Launch is on April 1.
@punjab: me not interested in OCin a graphics card much..esp considering that i ll get one with US warranty power not an issue.
but me currently on 1024 res where i guess my E2140 is more of a bottleneck will upgrade to a 19"/22" nxt year so i think till then i can stick with this only then
just couldnt resist that post rebate price of 230$ for the GTS
If you are getting it from US, it should not cost you more than what 8800GTS costs now. Of course, the prices will settle down only after 2 to 3 weeks of launch
215$ after rebate,can you still resist?
what speed is your 2140 at? and at 1024 res your 8800gt should continue eating up games till we see crysis 2.:cool2:
