was just wondering which ones better and why..building a new computer soon and i was told by a couple of my friends who have built their own to get the 8800GTS with the G92 chips..
the 8800 is better and faster. the 9600 uses the same basic chip but with 64/128 SPs enabled whereas the 8800s have either 112(8800GT) or 128(8800GTS 512) enabled. right now the cards worth considering are 8800GS 9600GT 8800GT 8800GT512 I had formerly been recomeding the HD3850s and 3870s but the 8800GS ad 9600GT basically are better bang/$
Performance 8800, less on the 9600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814500006 8800GT <--- I got this, it is literally 9 inches long so make sure you have space, to plug in power I had to push the power into a hdd slot before I could plug it into the card in my antec 900 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814127329 Cheaper GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814127325 GTS - best specs for the buck I think on a GTS....
if you're using the > symbol to show a pregression then yes. if yo0GTSu're using it to show value then no. the 8800GTS512 is basically the best card on the market right now, atleast as far as your typical gamer is concerned then the GT512 then the 9600 the the 3870 then the 8800GT256 then the 8800GS then the 3850
the GT 512 is faster than the GTS 640. the GTS512 is faster than both the GT AND the GTS640 nvidia really should have called it 8900GT and 8900GTS to be honest. What they did is infair and confusing to the consumer. fortunately the GTS640s and 320s are now hard to find so it's not that much of an issue.
I am a personal favorite of the GFX 8800 512mb card, because i respect its overclocking. It also plays Crysis extremely well, without SLI linking.
