EVGA 8800GT 512mb vs EVGA 8800 320mb superclocked

Unfortunately, we were not able to get hold of the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB.

But in any case, your GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB was overclocked. Why don't you benchmark your card and compare the scores against our scores here - Tech ARP - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Graphics Card Review Rev. 3.0

 

It has to be the dumbest idea to move to 880GT from 8800GTS. Wait for the next gen. 8800GT is good for previous gen upgraders, but not good enough if are already using 8800GTS. It still can't play Crysis smoothly at high details.

Well, the GeForce 8800 GT is supposed to replace the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB in the NVIDIA roadmap. But it won't be much of an upgrade.

Coming up soon (by end of the month?) is an upgrade for the GeForce 8800 GTS. It will be based on the same G92 (D8P) GPU as the GeForce 8800 GT but with more stream processors enabled. So, that would likely be the best upgrade for you.

 

Maybe even more than 128 SP?

 

I thought the new G92 is supposed to replace GTX and Ultra? Next gen right?

 

No idea. I don't know what the new card is going to be.

 

If I'm not mistaken, there will be a replacement GeForce 8800 GTS based on the G92 (D8P) GPU with 128 shader processors. That's 1/3 more shader processors than the original GeForce 8800 GTS.

Let's say it runs at the same clock speed (600 MHz) as the GeForce 8800 GT. If so, it will have a fill rate of 38.4 GTexels/s. That's 60 % more fill rate than the original 8800 GTS. Will that be enticing enough for current 8800 GTS users?

 

With only 128 SPs, it will only match 8800GTX, that's definitely not enticing enough, unless the clock speed is significantly higher, then again, it still won't handle Crysis well. What many people want is a new high end card! 9800GTX!

 

Don't forget that even the current 8800 GTS has slightly more ROPs and a wider memory bus (delivering more memory bandwidth at a lower clock speed) than the new 8800 GT.

I suspect the "upgraded" 8800 GTS will run at higher clock speeds to deliver a reasonable performance advantage over the 8800 GT.

 

Like I said, we want something faster than 8800Ultra! Not just 8800GT. I thought of buying 8800GT until I saw the performance on Crysis even with 8800 Ultra, not good enough.

 

Hehehe.. I'm sure they will have something faster out soon. But what I liked best about the new G92 is how cool and efficient it is.

For example, the GeForce 8800 GTX is still faster than the GeForce 8800 GT but it's also hotter, bulkier and less reliable. Honestly, I would take the GeForce 8800 GT over the GeForce 8800 GTX even if you ignore the difference in cost.

 

Hehe.. There will always be people who think that GTS is still faster because it has an extra S.
