Comment Thread for EVGA 8800GTS (w/ 112SPs) Review

[shaolin95]

Sounds good...max OC is nice although a bit unpredictable due to the nature of OCing.
As a reference I was going to mention that in another website when they test the 8800gt at stock running Unreal Tournament 3 at 1600x1200 4xAA 16xAF the avg was 55fps while an overclocke 8800GT (694/980) scored 62fps. A nice difference if you ask me. :-)

Will keep an eye for your updates.

Thanks!

why dont you get an 8800gt ssc there fast

The Evga 8800 GTS SSC ($329 from tigerdirect) is $60 cheaper then the 8800 GTS 512mb ($395 from infonec) after a $30 mail in rebate. This would seem to make it a better buy if you intend to game at higher resolutions, 1920x1200, due to the greater memory bandwidth.
Is my thinking wrong on this matter?

$395 for the 8800GTS 512MB is a bit of a rip-off IMO.

[Biggie]

Well, I've now found them for 8800 GTS 512MB for $369 but even then the 8800 GTS SSC seems like a better choice for 1920x1200 gaming, due to mem bandwidth.

When is the 1GB version going to come out?

Sorry for bumping this thread so late, but I have to decide between these two cards by tomorrow:

Ok I have it down to these two: MSI and eVGA. I looked at the pictures, and both cards are exactly the same! The only difference are the clocks... msi is 575/1350/1700 while evga is 576/1350/1800. They seem to have the same cooler too! Does it matter which I buy?

Does MSI have a good rep, would they be a very reliable card? I notice on their website they talk about using high quality capacitors:
