Hey,

Which wouldgive better performance? I have a Gigabyte K8N SLI motherboard and at the moment have a single 8600GTS, im trying to decide whether to buy another one for SLI, or just go for the 8800GT or 8800GTX instead. I am planning on playing games like Crysis, Call of Duty 4 etc.

Thanks in advance.

QFT, everything is pretty much obsolete now. With the GT and new GTS on the way.

It is?? Well i still see 8800 GTX+Ultra beating GT in most cases. When GTX and Ultra will be obselet, so will be GT.

[quote="Nvidia Geforce 8800GT The only card that matters"] Because the 8800 GT does top the 8800 GTS, there is an even smaller gap between the 8800 GT and the GTX than between the existing $400 and $500 parts. With a smaller difference in performance than the GTS and about a $250 to $300 premium for the 8800 GTX beyond the part that falls one step down in performance, we really don't see much motivation to purchase the 8800 GTX. Of course, there are exceptions to this, and people who own 30" displays and have deep pockets will still want the best of the best in their boxes, which means the 8800 GTX/Ultra SLI setup that will be necessary to get the most out of Crysis when the game finally makes its way on to shelves this fall. NVIDIA still owns the high end market, and while it's not for everyone, it is there for those who need it. But back to the real story, in spite of the fact that the 8800 GT doesn't touch the GTX, two of them will certainly beat it for either equal or less money.
