but the GTS has 16 more spThe GTS I have definitely overclocks better than my 2 GT's. I still would get the GT however because the performance difference isn't even noticeable once you overclock the GT, you're basically beyond stock GTS at that point.
well every bit of information that you need to make that decision is on Hardocp or one of the other numerous sites that have reviewed both cards. its up to you to determine if its worth it or not.
well a video card is not like buying a car. the only things that matter with a video card are the numbers. performance, noise, heat, power consumption and price are what matters. you should be able to easily make up your own mind based on the actual reviews. most individual opinions are useless.Just askin' for opinions bro....

Don't rely on others to tell you what to do. Read the article, check out the numbers, and decide for yourself. There's an across-the-board performance advantage to the 512MB GTS, but only you can decide if it's worth it for your needs.
how did you get it for $219?Well here is my sob story. I bought the BFG 8800 GT OC from Best Buy for $219.00 last night I made an impulse buy of the BFG 8800 GTS OC for $300($310 plus shipping). Now I know that across the board the GTS is about 10% faster than the GT so for me the I believe the cost for the GTS should be about $240 if we go strictly price performance. So the question is would the 10% be worth the 70 bucks. Just looking for some more opinions. FYI this is about the max I'll play for a video card so that is why I'm having this buyers remorse so to speak. Also I do have a 24 inch monitor if that makes a difference.

I want to see benches comparing a GTS @ 800 MHz to a GT @ ~700 MHz because that's what we're seeing with the overclocks. That being said, with an extra 100 MHz after overclocking, more shaders, and more shader/memory speed, I'm sure the GTS will be faster, but is it $100 faster? Will you really notice the difference? Hmmmm. I think it's wiser to get a GT, play every game in sight except Crysis, and wait for GF9. That's what I did. Overclocking can only do so much. We need a new architecture.
Now the silly people eying overpriced GTs and planning on slapping $20-$40 coolers on them might want to reconsider and just buy a GTS.....
even the 8800GTS 512mb runs toasty. all you have to do is turn up the fan speed if you want either card to run cooler.Well my BFG 8800GT(675/1950) ran loaded at 90-95c. Was going to change to aftermarket cooling and lose my warranty but the [H] deal came along and i jumped on it. For $55 bucks more I get to keep my warranty, have a better cooler, and have about the same performance(with some headroom in the future to O/C even more). For me this was a very good oportunity. Thanks Kyle and thanks BFG!
