[QUOTE="lost_786"][QUOTE="mastershake575"][QUOTE="lost_786"]not really its better yes but not by a huge margin at all the 8800gts is around 20-30% better and you will only get around 30-50% increase by sli'ing the 8800gts 640mb so overall its not that much at allFirst of all you dont realize that with SLI you DONT get much performance drop by increasing the resolution and AA.However i would like to point out that 2 640GTS's completely destroy one 512MB GTS

And 30-50% increase?Well no you are so wrong.The link below shows that 640GTS SLI is quite a bit better than a single 8800GTX.The 512MB GTS is worse than the GTX.And also see for yourself how much better SLI GTS is than a single GTS.
Ann remember these tests are done in high resolutions with AA which means that the 512MB GTS wont be performing anyway near as good as the GTX.If you are running an SLI setup and arent playing games with 16xAA or doing super sampling then you are just wasting your money.

eh the 8800gts is actually almost the same as the 8800gtx ultra not gtx http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3175&p=3 as for those benchmarks i never said the 8800gts wasn't better i said it wasn't huge which it isn't most of the time it was pretty close with the 8800gtx which it 8800gts 512mb is better than and WOW big deal anyone can post benchmarks showing there side guess how many benchmarks i can post of sli gettings around 30-50% ? tons you can't base something based off a single test you found from a below average sourceHere's an example of SLI giving up to 90% increases in performance.

Look at the 2 vs 1 results. Looks like you should be saying SLI gives 30-90% increases.
This thread has so much misinformantion and bickering it should be locked.

Bring this back on topic; The 8800GT is massively superior to the 8800GTS 320, it's an amazing deal. Go for it. Bear in mind the 8800GT is very close to the 8800GTX in performance, the old 320MB GTS was only a baby in comparison.
See THIS LINK for a random Crysis benchmark i pulled from tom's hardware.
No it isnt.It's like 15% worse off.You do know that say, Zotac's fastest clocked retail 8800GT is faster than their fastest clocked retail 8800GTX right? If you're not going above 1600x1200 it's an amazing card...It's not even remotely suprising, the G92 is a refined version of the G80.
Check this link....
2000mhz memory O.O. Mine crashs after 1.1k :( And that's with 50*C temps.
Nope, your memory is actually running at 2200mhz, and I seriously doubt its stable.
I have never heard of an 8800GT reaching 1.6ghz memory speeds. 8800GTs that have stock 1.6ghz speeds are really at 800mhz. 1.6ghz is the EFFECTIVE speed, 800mhz is that actual speed.
You've got a really nice overclock on that 8800GT. If I were you i'd play my most demanding game for an hour or two to make sure I don't get artifacts. That's what I did to test my first overclock and sure enough after about an hour of crysis the screen started artifacting and it froze up after a while. The ATITOOL scanner is nice, but it doesn't stress your card. Its only really a preliminary testing tool, you need to play a game for a while to be sure its a safe OC.
I'd get a different motherboard probably, but that one is fine. Also, how much are you paying for that warranty?
Also, look into getting a better CPU cooler so that you can overclock more like the zalman cnps9700 or tuniq tower if they have it.
