I don't think so. Anyway, I still see the GTS640 a great buy if below 300USD (used)
1280*1024 of course should get GT, but 16*12/10 is GTS realm. 19*12 is firmly for the GTXes.

Even with the new "faster/cheating" driver the GT is still slower.

As much as I wanna see my 2900XT pwn supreme (GTS *and*GT) in DX10 this coming November Catalyst update, I'm not optimistic. 

I think it's not enough video RAM. But the tests show otherwise- it's clearly bandwidth limited, with 1600*1200 noAA working just fine, betaing GTS.

Enjoy your 320-bit GTS, still. It runs nicely and not that slow either way. Painful if you bought it at over 350USD though.

(Also, so funny to see that the 8800GT users going to say "Oh, AA doesn't matter now!". ROFLMAOWTFBBQOVERNINETHOUSAND)

drop to ly today,a source from czone said next week sapphire 3870 coming with tag price around rm 1100.00

dude u think u better check the prices
i already got the prices from all Ati partners
its more expensive than the 8800gt with no game bundle whatsoever.

its better u actually check the prices instead of hoping on the inquirer and some weird postings on some websites...

so far the 8800gt was sold lower than the MRSP when u see the OEM prices of those cards.

act both are considered mid end only.. the true high end for both ATi and nvidia is coming i think.. why? bcoz both cards cannot really beat their previous best cards.. the 8800ultra and 2900xt..

Anyone here mind answering a question that i have:

I am quite confused by all those technologies lately. Previously, when the 320MB 8800GTS was out, it was like the best hang for buck GC at that point. With 320MB and 320bit, it seems to last quite a while.

At that point, people are saying, there isnt too much difference in between the 640MB and the 320MB if gaming was on 22" and below. Thus, i have the assumption of the EXTRA 320MB was only causing it to be better when played in higher resolution.

At the same time when the poor 8600GTS was launched with 128bit, people are complaining why is it that way and not 256bit. Thus limiting its capability. Assumption from me again is that the bits are very important.

Now, when the 512MB 256bit 8800GT/ HD3870 was out, it beat the crap out of the higher bit, lower memory 8800GTS. Why would it so? I mean, ok, its technology but i always thought that the memory is only going to serve you when you are playing on higher resolution?

Thanks alot for answering..

Great. Thanks for the explanation there. I guess all the assumptions of mine had just gone to dust. LOL..

Well, its tough decision saying 256bit 512mb is sufficient. Its just a few months ago when people are saying how great the 320MB 8800GTS is and how enough it will be to last another year or so. Now, its barely enough..

With that being said, i am really tempted to let go of my 8800GTS and go the ATI way of HD3870 depending on the pricing.
