It doesn't matter which GeForce 8800GT? Could I take the Asua, Twinteak etc?
and I don't get it - How could it possible that the 8800GT is better, although the HD3870 has GDDR4, and the 8800GT has GDDR3?
Can you help me about it?
Thank you very much! | |

It does matter which version! There are many different versions of the 8800GT.
Click on the link and run through the bench marks to see. | |

May you recommand me the best version of the 8800GT 512MB? The EXACTLY product?
I don't understand so much of it, and I want to buy the best 8800GT with the greatest performance.
Thank you again!

At one point I was wondering the same thing and I was considering the 8800 GT but now I'm leaning toward the 3870.
According to Logan at Tigerdirect in the video on this page http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...895&CatId=1558
the 3870 is a beast on Crysis vs the 8800 GT. I can't find a 512 MB 8800 GT for less than the price of a 3870. So as for price and performance goes I think I found my card for the game I want to play, but can also play other games except ugh thats not important Stalker anyone? | |

I got my 8800GT 512mb for $280, with a free Quake Wars in the box. I'd pick nVidia over ATI any day, because their drivers are infinitely easier to deal with than any ATI I've ever had.
My 8800GT handles Crysis on high at near 60fps, and never hangs. Plus, eVGA and XFX have fantastic warranties, XFX's being completely reseller- and modder-friendly.
