The G92 based 8800GT has been the talk of the town for the past few weeks, with teeny bits and pieces of information flowing around the web, and today, we will be taking a look the 8800GTs we've recieved through the weekend. In this review, we will see how does the 8800GT hold up against it's predecessors, the 8800GTS and 8800GTX on high resolution, in both single card and SLI mode. (*SLI scores will come later) Read More >>

Thanks for the review. Im just wondering, i currently have an 8800 GTS 640MB version by BFG, would i see anything better by using the 8800 GT? In some cases the GT was far better, and in some others not. I currently have it preordered so i just want to make sure i have made the right decision. Any help would be appreciated. As for that person asking where to buy them in the UK here are the links:

So could someone help me out here?

hi,
the first link u quoted is the 8800gt

the GTS version in the link u provided is the old GTS which the 8800gt currently beats by quite a margin.

hope this helps

With X48 it will be shoik to see the score !

Tks Floppy for the review...

Great review guys. Too bad SLI didn't work

.

To the above post...I don't want to cry and I have the 8800 GTX. Also you should be the one crying with that graphics card

Comment by: glyfone on 30-Oct-2007 12:53 am

nice reviews.

i think many shops & buyers of previous 8800 wanna cry liao...

Comment by: Holland Close on 29-Oct-2007 11:50 pm

for those who just bought any other 8800 or a 8600GT(S) card.

Edit: I was also thinking; the 8800GT should've been called the 8900GT or something. At least it sort of makes sense if the 8800GTX is still the more powerful one.

who are you to criticize the knowledge of the people at VR?
we do not need trolls here,not to mention 11 year olds who think they know everything..

Comment by: bryanwu on 29-Oct-2007 8:21 pm

should be the rig, card alone cannot possibly need so much power.

Comment by: koo on 29-Oct-2007 8:20 pm

I just wanna ask floppy whether the power consumption test is showing the whole rig's consumption or the card only?

Comment by: nums_lock on 29-Oct-2007 7:00 pm

Agree with that since now all the cards are simply using the same inadequate coolers with different stickers. Buyers have to factor in a replacement HSF into the price equation, seems nVidia is happy to cripple this new card's performance with a wimpy cooler.

For the really patient, the new 88GTS may save the buyer some money/trouble if its HSF runs cool/quiet enough to save on a 3rd party coolr.

Comment by: zomber38 on 29-Oct-2007 2:21 pm

How is the stock fan noise level? is it noisy at high loads?

Comment by: ImmortalZ on 29-Oct-2007 2:18 pm

My 2900XT 1GB just tried to suicide.

Comment by: dollargood on 29-Oct-2007 1:23 pm

Looks like the old days Geforce 5900...HSF cover the whole card...
