So i am rebuilding my pc this summer and i was just wondering....
Should i get an EVGA 8800GT 512 with the akimbo cooler (with the intention to overclock)
or an EVGA 8800GTS 512 KO ? which is better? (30 $ difference in price)

The GTS is better. Get this one, $169.99 after MIR. 3 year warranty.

Every time I see a forum about the 8800 gt Dagger always gives that link. It is one hell of a good deal though and probably the best advice as well.

Haha, that's Dagger.
GTS is the better one.

Oh for sure. I just always feel a little bitter seeing anything I buy drop to half the price 4 months later.

I am very happy with teh gts. I am running 2 in SLI and it eats anything i through at it. think i scored aroun 17K in 3Dmark. Paired these with a AMD 6400+ X2, 4 gigs GSkill DDR2 800 and i could not have been happier.

3dmark? there are different versions of 3dmark

If your doing the build this summer I would just wait to figure out what I would buy. New cards are due to come out real soon now.

Heh, i know the feeling. I bought mine the day it came out...about 400 after taxes and shipping >< I love the thing though
