hey guys I was wondering which is "better" . . I have a 320mb 8800GTS and after reading the review on tomshardware saying that the 8800GT actually out performs it, I'm trying to see which of the two is truly better . . I'm thinking of selling my 8800GTS to a friend and get the 8800GT . . . any thoughts? thanks for the help.

The GF8800GT is better than the GTS in like 99.44% of situations.

The 8800 GT is smoking the 8800 GTS 320 and 640 MB. It's close to the 8800 GTX in alot of benchmarks. I just got mine and am loving it. The card runs quiet and cool if you use RivaTuner to tweak the fan settings. I got the MSI 8800 GT and clocked it to 700/1000.

Prices aren't bad at all. You get near GTX performance for half the price. That's a bargain. Jump on it. SLI it if you can.

The 8800GT almost ='s a 8800GTX, so forget about the old GTS 320MB.

Prices are terrible!

There's a GT shortage, so on many e-tailers, instead of the expected $200-250 price the GT-512 is selling at $260-300+

It's still a value in the context of a GTS-320 @ $270 2 weeks ago, but compared to where the GT was supposed to be priced, and was initially, it's overpriced in most locations right now.

So you can pay less than $250, but usually that's for a "not in stock ETA 2-8 weeks" purchase.

No need to upgrade from a GTS 320 to a GT, unless you are getting fairly close in $ for the Gts as you would pay for the Gt.

Yeah the GT is better but it ain't THAT much better. I've got a GTS320 and I'd do it for $50-75. If upgrading cost over $100 it wouldn't be worth it IMHO.

New cards are coming out fairly soon BTW....you might want to wait.
