Nvidia Geforce 8800 Gts/gtx Oc

I have the GTS, whats the difference between GTS and GTX, or am I just a dumbass and they are the same thing. Thanks

 

There is small difference in these cards but theres no doubt the 8800gtx is faster..Nearly everything is better on the 8800gtx but only by a bit

8800gtx......8800gts

Core clock........575mhz 500mhz
Shader clock.....1350mhz....1200mhz
Stream CPU.......128...........96
Mem clock..........900/1800..800/1600
mem inferface....384bit.......320bit
mem bw ............86.4Gb/s....64Gb/s


Theres a few more differences but you can see the difference

 

But like its not so much of difference I should get the other one correct?

 

Yea its better. Quiet expensive aswell so hope you have the $$$$ lol but if you already have the GTS theres no point in upgrading yet

 

Cus I just bought the GTS yesterday haha =/

 

Nice..Well theres no poiny in buying the GTX just cos its a little bit better..GTS will last a good year or two until games start to lag

 

Oh okay thanks ;D

 

No problem

 

Also, there are 2 versions of the GTS, the 320 Mb and the 640 Mb one. The one with 320Mb memory is obviously worse, but it is cheaper.

 

What do the different MBs add to?

 

Means it will be able to run better...Same as RAM really...The more RAM you have the better...So the more Mbs you have the better

 

I have the 320Mb one but 2G of ram, I should be fine for a while correct?

 

Easily...You'll be fine for a long while..As long as your CPU is good then defo

 

It's performance (benchmarks) appears to deteriorate in resolutions higher than 1280x1024.

 

it's around a 20-40% difference in terms of real world performance.

basically, it's stupid to buy the "BIG" card because they dont' really last any longer in terms of their product lifespan and the lesser card still kicks ass when it's out. It's bette to buy a smaller card almost twice as often as compared to buying the big one half as often.


if it makes you feel better, you can overclock your card to close the gap a bit.


EDIT: the diference won't matter a ton for you, your CPU is too slow to really utilize the GPU power of the 8800GTS yet alone the GTX, well maybe at higher AA levels but from what I've seen on our AIM conversations you either don't know how to or think it's pointless.
