Seen any benchmarks of GTS512 overclocked vs. GTX Overclocked?

[nkarasch]

Tigerdirect has the XFX 8800GTX for $350 after rebate which is only $60 more than a GTS512. I hear the GTS doesnt do well overclocked because the of the 256-bit bus or whatever.

Ive seen many GTS512 vs. GTX and the GTX is just a little faster, how much does it gain from overclocking? Any benchies?

i thought the GTS was the overclocking king

yea, so did I but a good mate of mine bought one so we thought we would put it to the test with, what else, Crysis. We OC'ed his core2duo 6700 to 3,9Ghz and the GTS to highest level that wouldn't artifact and the game was marginally playable. After reducing the clocks of the gpu to stock, the game was overall better! More fluid if you get me (not higher fps but not flactuating that much). Either we pushed it too high or the GTS can't handle much.
Has anyone seen any benchies online?

I got mine to 820/2008/2208 , and it was kicking ass. If I had a water cooler I could stay there all the time and believe me it was smooth at those settings. I hold the single card champ score on futuremark for vista with my score I was able to muster.

Well the GTX should be able to OC to Ultra speeds (as that is all the Ultra is) and I can't see a GTS OCed getting that sort of performance?
Especially at higher resolution the GTX should still reign supreme.
Although I think I want rid of mine for a 3870X2 (or two!)

The GTS keeps damn near right behind the ultra and to my knowledge damn near out performs the gtx at almost everything lukebird.

Uh.. not nearly. The ROPs and 256 Interface really kill the GTS in the high resolution high AA settings.

At 12x10 with no AA the GTS has no equal. At 19x12 with 8xAA the GTX and Ultra are still ahead.

Edit: Oh and to the OP: What resolution do you intend to run?

The GTX OC's better because it has 24 Rendering Operators and the GTS512 only has 16. So the GTX exponentially scales better than the GTS. The GTS does keep neck and neck with the GTX though and takes much less power to run. I didn't feel like upgrading my PSU for $150 AND getting a GTX. The GTS runs with less power usage so is a better value in my opinion. If you want a GTX, wait till the 9000 series GTX comes out. Don't go for a 1 year old card.

I want to run 1680x1050, I have the same monitor as the poster above me...so thats in between 12x10 and 19x12 I guess. So maybe there wouldnt be much difference between the two?

Ive got mine running at 1920/1080 on my 24" monitor. I have no problems playing cod4 at that and ut3 runs at constant 62~ fps at all high settings. I don't know what cod4 does but, it sure doesn't skip or anything so, I'm guessing it is running about the same.

Thanks for the input. I dont really care what it does with todays games because my 8600GTS plays them all really well (except the obvious one). I just want to know whats fastest in general for tomorrows games.
