eVGA is a great brand, I've always liked them.

The XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog edition is the better choice as it has the new G92 core GPU. It offers much higher performance than the Palit 8800GT 1GB at a lower price.

id eget the 512mb as well because 1gb or 512mb .. the 8800gt is still 256bit so it will choke a little at that res compared to a 382bit memory interface

Yeah i know but he said 8800gt which also is g92 core. he said 512 8800gt or 1gb 8800gt.

I dont think he mentioned 8800gts rev 2..



just re read the thread and no one mentioned the new g92 gts.
