8800 GTS OC or 8800 GT

heero78 · December 11th, 2007, 03:20 AM

does the XFX 8800 GT 512 MB actually is faster than the BFG 8800 GTS OC 320MB alot?
cuz some one is offering a trade with an extra 100 and my GTS OC for his GT 512MB?
so does it actually make a big difference?

100 bucks and your GTS 320 for his GT512?

Im all for having something new and shiney out of the box. You never know what he has done to the GT and wants to off load it.

if u want to trade it, make sure you do some thorough testing before paying the guy, seems a bit scammy :P

Yeah I wouldn't do it. That's a little steep IMO. You'd be better selling your card off, then using that extra money you have to just buy a new 8800gt.
You could probably get $250 for your card now. Then take another $50, and you got the 8800gt. Probably would be cheaper then $100...

Good luck..

With that said, the GTS 512's big Achilles' heel comes in the form of a sibling rivalry. The specs say the GTS 512 is better than the 8800 GT thanks to its additional SP cluster, which grants it more texture filtering and shader processing power. But the real-world games we tested say the true limitations right now look to be pixel fill rates and memory bandwidth, where the GTS 512 barely leads the 8800 GT at all. That's especially the case once you throw a "factory overclocked" 8800 GT into the mix. We tested one from MSI, but many companies offer similar cards. Even if you factor in the price premium you'll pay for the higher-clocked version of 8800 GT and the premium due to the GT's relative scarcity, the 8800 GT OC looks to be a better deal than the GTS 512.
