woot....Rm700...blink.gif
I also say that it is not worth to sell GTS and top up some more money to buy the GT.
By looking at the FPS chart, GTS and GT are not different much. smile.gif
Only benchmark different alot, and also GT dropped their performance when SLI, compare to GTS. 1st card different about 3k point. SLI then different in 900points only.
For me, im waiting the new gts come out...hopefully can pawn this GT alot nod.gif

hmm alot of ppl spinning stories and adding a lot of their own on the GTS

again NVIDIA said they will increase the SP

they didnt say its going to be a die shrink on G92.
which is highly unlikely..seeing the bit's

be wary of ure expectations on the new GTS

It shouldn't be more than RM150.
If it does, people might as well spend a lil bit more for the real performer which is the Thermalright HR-03 Plus.

me thinks shawty better read more

it cant fit on the 8800gt

will there be a new gtx coming soon? oh btw the new gts coming...is it base on g80 or g92? i am confuese tho....i heard alot ppl say is g80 with extra stuff but some news say is g92 and is gonna smoke gtx/ultra off...if this is true then i think there will be new gtx...
*
its not a g92 for sure.
y?? cause look at the 8800gt G92 board.


u already can see the new EVGA 8800gts SSC which is the new revision of G80

nvidia already said that the new 8800gts can be paired with the older one for SLI
which means its a G80

or u could just sell off ur 640mb and just top up a little bit to buy 2x320mb for SLI...like this even cheaper user posted image
*
eh not advisable

remember than on sli rig even though the mem is mapped for 640mb for both 320mb ... but u can only use 320mb

to sli 320 mb is just pure power with little mem...
It will suffer badly on FPS games which require a lot of mem to load...

thats y if the 8800gt 1gb version or 8800gts 1gb version comes out.. we are talking about OWNAGE..

the pcie x1 bus speed will be increased?

yeah bro but soundcards actually dont need to be runned at PCI-EX

and also say like the PCIE 2.0 sig i wonder how its gonna work on it.. definately buggy.

the problem with the 680 mobo last time was first was the nvidia Linkboost was causing massive problems with it
then came the GPU-EX
turbo stuff etc

Wondering here guys, would i see significant advantage/improvement over a single 8800GTS IF i were to setup SLi?

Really tempted to get another 1, probably by end of this month (if allowed) and setup SLi. The GTS price is going dirt cheap right now.. I dont think there is any problem SLi 2 8800GTS with different clock/memory speed right?

Only problem now of course, would be money. I would probably need to get another mobo unless there is some kind of hack that allow my Xfire mobo to run SLi...

the problem is
ure still mem limited at 320mb..

ure just having more processing power but limited on ure mems!!

In this sense, mind telling me - the disadvantage of having limited memory? I mean, i understand certain situation where the higher the memory, its going to allow me to play at higher resolution. But in this case, i am limited to my 22" and would that cause me significant disadvantage?
*
look at all the FPS games out there..
crysis, farcry, FEAR, etc

u need a lot of mem to load all those nice looking enviroment etc..

320mb sli more like RTS owning but in FPS games not worth it

thats y the 320mb gts lost to the GT so badly in FPS games because not enough mem...

and thats y however fast u overclock ure GT and compared to a overclock ultra/GTX with that 768mb mem will play a part..

correct me if am wrong
but nvidia cards
u only use the primary cards mem...

I'm very confused about getting the 8800gt.

I consider myself a power gamer and i can't stand low res textures etc.  Trouble is i plan to upgrade my monitor to 1920x1200 in the near future.  To further complicate issues I'm building a new pc very very soon, and i'm concerned that the 8800gt won't be sufficient to run at that resolution.  Crysis benchmarks don't do anything to make my decision any easier.

And then there's the 112 SP G80 GTS 640mb which according to benchmarks is supposedly better than than the 512mb gt at higher resolutions but also comes at a larger price premium...

And then there's also the problem i face in that i run with a dual monitor setup.  And will do so when i upgrade.  So i guess my options are...

a) stick with current 8800gts 320mb
b) buy cheaper 8800gt 512mb and sell as soon as the GTX replacement comes out.
c) buy 112sp 8800gts 640mb, and maybe SLI the mofos?  (problem being x38 mobos are crossfire)

Anyone got any suggestions as to options?
*
hmm problem

nobody knows what setup ure talking about...hints do no not help.
for every card use until it does not work to your expectations, then just change something that does...

The thing is, the GTS 320mb is still a good gaming card. It became lousy when 2 things happened - 8800GT and crysis.

Otherwise the GTS 320mb can still play current games (minus crysis) at acceptable frame rates and not too high a resolution.

If you look at the performance, it is GTS 320mb<GTS 640mb<GT<GTX<Ultra. However, due to the much cheaper price of the GT, the GT became the best price-for-performance card at the moment. Furthermore, an SLI 8800GT is more worth it as compared to a single GTX or ultra, with almost the same price point (if you don't mind the heat and noise).

As newer games and cards comes out, it would be difficult to recommend any options. For me, if you're not planning to buy-sell as newer products comes out, the safer way to go about it is to get the 8800GT as you can still SLI them in the future.....  . Do note that current cards do not support DX10.1, although according to some sources, the DX10.1 has only minor improvements and current DX10 cards do support up to 90% of DX10.1 features (whatever that means.....)  smile.gif

my opinion of the 640gts=the 8800gt

8800 gt looks good for FPS games
and the 8800gts looks better on RPS games which was pointed out by a forumer .. which i checked with benches was true.

for 8800gt users on DX10 crysis
run 400 bus speed minimum at 3.2 min C2D will do
4gigs of rams... ( U really need this)
Most ppl performance on crysis is bad cause running on 2 gigs on vista which is pure stupidity. The game on 64bit takes up to 2.2gigs worth of ram at times and windows takes up to 1.2gigs.. total ram usage when i was gaming was at 3.4gigs...

for 1680x1080
set everything on Very high
change post processing and shadow to high
That would do..
enjoy 30-40fps..
run ure 8800gt at 700/1750/2000.

tested on my friends rig...
when i get home i will be playing it at this setting also..kekeke...
