. Thus I have been looking at and found an MSI 8800 GTX 768MB for $499 before rebates, $479 after rebates. Now I have no idea what to do, I have narrowed it down to either the 8800 GTS 640MB, for a little over $350, or the 8800 GTX. I told my girlfriend that it would be more money, to which she replied, "Well yeah, but will it last longer so I don't have to deal with you wanting to buy one next year?" Touche girlfriend, and I had no real response. Yes it will last longer probably, yes it is better, but what about the price difference? The thing that keeps sticking in the back of my mind is that I have to get a new card as I no longer have one and I do have $125 toward a card that I didn't have to work towards, which drops the price by $125 as I cannot simply pocket that money. Also, this year I will have a job during college as an IT tech and have a decent income during the year. Also note that I have no other real expenses, though I do need to buy a car at the end of next school year for an internship. So, long story short, what would you guys do? Do you think it is worth the price difference or should I just get the GTS? I want this card to last me a little over 2 years. My specs are below if you need that information. Thanks for any help.
