Simple.

The 8800gts cost more

Thats not to say the extra performance isnt worth every extra penny IMO ;)

I happen to have a BFG 8800 GT OC that's still unopened, purchased from Best Buy. PM me if you're interested.

It is for overclocking, I think.

my gts has way higher clocks that a gt it is cool and and quiet to bring a gt up to the gts level you will need to spend extra on cooling and that brings the price to about level that of a gts

Or you could just spend a sensible amount of money and get a good card and not overclock it to a GTS :heink:

a sensible amount of money varies from person to person ok my disposable income is a third of my pay bout Nz $125 a week. im not saying people must buy this card im saying if they have the $ to go a bit extra go for it. and did you take the picture in you avatar that is soo random

Ok I'm a cheapass. I could upgrade my x1950 pro to a HD3850/8800GT for as much as I paid for the x1950 pro (which was an upgrade from a 9800 pro) which is just over $AU300. However, the performance difference just doesn't justify the price to me. I should get at least a 1% performance increase for every $ I spend.

My avatar is a google pic, and if I actually had a cat it probably wouldn't be that cool ;)

I take it you got it from MSY, considering they still sell it for $479.

One of the cheapest I've seen, unfortunately you might not get the one with the exceptional looking fan, and end up getting the one with the stock reference design.

You can also still order the standard 8800GT directly from the EVGA website....

I just ordered a 8800GTS 512 from NewEgg and I am incredibly excited!
