Ok so here are the 3 choices and the prices i can get em at here in africa (yes i know they are high )
XFX Geforce Alpha Dog Edition 8800GT - Std Edition, 512MB DDR3 (Dual DVI, TV Out, SLI Ready) PCI Express $300
XFX GeForce Alpha Dog Edition 8800GTS 512MB DDR3 - STD EDITION - (DVI+TV+DVI) : PCI-EXPRESS 16X SLI Support $410
ASUS ATI Radeon 3870, 512MB DDR4, 256-Bit (Dual DVI, TV Out, D-Sub, HDMI) PCI Express 2.0 $315
I don't mind overclocking and just really want to know which of those 3 is best value for money and ofcourse should be better for games like crysis compared to my 8800gts 320mb.
Get the 8800GT... cheapest and better performing than the 3870 in the majority of cases. The 8800GTS doesnt warrant the extra 25%... although it is a great card.
Just out of interest if they don'y have the xfx 8800gt in stock is it worth paying an extra $30 to get the gainward or asus 8800gt? or go with the ati?
Hey dev1se someone just told me that the 8800gt runs hot and fan is loud and can't be controlled. Is this true? I looked at the single slot card and realised that the hot air is not pushed outside the case. I was told to go for the 8800gts cos its got better cooling. What ya think. I hate noisy fans. Thx for the replies man you rule !!!
