SLI GT is rather quite perfoming if not mistaken, can pawned the GTS 640mb easily...

but 1 thing nice about SLI 8800GT, u need very little power only a puny 450W (true power, as someone prefer)...... no need to upgrade PSU for many....

Sigh.. new buyers should go for 8800GT, but existing 8800GTS no reason to move at all. If ur 8800GTS user you probably wanna upgrade to Ultra level card rite...
*
Remember that the 8800 GTS/GTX were top-end cards a month ago before the release of the 8800GT. And is there a reason why it should not be high-end cards now???

The reason why people are selling their GTSs is because they don't want to loose more money. However, rumours are saying that the price of 8800GT might go up. In that case, the prices of 2nd-hand GTSs might go up a bit too. Market trends....

For current 8800 owners, I don't think there is any point in upgrading to Ultra, unless it becomes damn cheap or you have $$$. It is better to wait for next gen cards that support DX10.1 (and whatever new features) before upgrading.....

Hemm.. and i think this is quite a good timing to 'fish' for those cheap 8800GTS, as now there are more directx 10 games on the market and many will be released soon in end of the year, not like lastime where we can hardly find any directx10 games..

Thought there are many DX10 compatible games ,still non are fully utilizing the power of DX10,
The new G92, 8800gt is indeed a powerful mid end card, but the future lies for DX10.1 cards... hopefully nvidia will launch new series that fully support it.

i wonder what AMD will do about it this month, lol cant wait...

Yup, something like that. Just remember that current DX10 cards do not support DX10.1, although DX10.1 features might not be that important anyway.

ATI is supposed to release their 3800 series cards that support DX10.1/shader model 4.1..... next month, if I'm not mistaken. However, from the specs, doesn't look like it can compete with Nvidia's 8800 series cards....

There is no point for GTS owner to dump their gc to garage sale, still can overclock and just wait for G100.

Hi all,

I've been asking around shops in Lowyat about Leadtek 8800GTS 320MB & every shop says no stock. I made a call to Ban Leong & they told me that there is a shortage. Is this phenomenon only happening here or worldwide? Shouldn't this card be easily available since it has good performance for the price especially when you pair it in SLI mode & running at resolutions not exceeding 1280X1024? Ban Leong cant even confirm when will this card be available. Does anybody have news on this?

This card should run UT3 & Crysis pretty sweet in SLI @ 1280X1024 with medium to high settings.

320mb is good s dead n replaced by 8800GT rclxms.gif so either buy the gts in garage sales which u will rugi a lot or straight away get the 8800GT at shop around 900 brows.gif

Any idea when will the new 8800GT hit our local shelves? I asked in Ipoh from one of the main PC shops today but the supplier said haven't bring in this product. So slow & lame...sigh. I already sold my 8800GTS to another buyer...well technically I cant say sold because I haven't even paid for it LOL & will order 2X of 8800GT.

Buy or sell, still rugi nia...
it's better to keep the card for 1 or 2 years ler... by that time, it's not 8800GT legion already.

(I feel that this 8800GT gonna last for a second before nVidia launch a new card that pawn GT much worse than GT pawn GTS)

Anyway, I'm still on the lucky side because I have bought GTS 3-4 months ago. For those who just bought <1month... sorry to hear lol.
