i'm looking at two BFG Tech OC'ed 8800GTX's, now heres my question one is $409 and the other $439 the most prominent difference seems to be a 25mhz core clock difference (600mhz vs. 625mhz) now to get to the point, is the extra 25mhz worth an extra 30 bucks?

On a side note, I am sure that you can find the 8800GTX for cheaper these days. Those prices seem a little high, why not get two 8800GTS (G92) for SLI instead ? Very close performance for most likely 100-200 dollars cheaper.

what resolution do you play?

If higher than 1920*xxx buy a 8800gtx if not buy 9800gtx trust me

i dont like the idea o buying a gts (g92) instead a 8800gtx if you have the money

Before you finalize your build, list out your proposed specs somewhere on this forum so somebodycan take a look at it and point out any discrepancies etc. that way you won't have any problems when you finally build it.
