More Information

I'm looking to get myself a EVGA 8800GT (512-P3-N801-AE). From what I've read, the G92 based card performs much better, but how can I tell which chipset this card uses. The manufacturer's website does not make mention of this.

Thanks

65nm = G92, 90nm = G80...

the 8800GT and GTS 512mb are both on the new G92 architecture.

Simply said, just stay away from the 8800GTS 320/640MB, unless it's really cheap.
