Graphics Card Question

Post by Nightmare » November 8th, 2007, 9:33 pm

Alright, so I have a question for you guys.
I am thinking of updating my system real soon for Crysis (and maybe cod4).

But I can't choose between two parts. Should I get the
Evga 8800 GTS SSC which has more memory
or the
Evga 8800 GT SSC which has a higher core clock

They both are around the same price, so that should not affect the choice.
Here is both of them compared side by side

Allways go for the GT, its faster, cheaper, consumes less power.. Its the newest card, there is a reason the GTS doesnt get sold anymore for a long time.
The only downsides to the GT are: More noise and more heat.
Also, I would be looking for an other GT, its overclocked and from a fancy brand, but the cards are being sold for a lot less then that (250 dollars is the price that Nvidia announced). MSI has nice overclocked versions for a lot less money. And you can allways overclock yourselves, but offcourse, that only counts when you are an overclockers yourselve.

I am currently trying to sell my GTS for some decent money, and will get a GT if i can sell it.
P.S.V. Kampioen!
