7900GTX vs. 8800GTS

[JCNiest5]

Not talking about feature, but speedwise, is the 8800GTS still better/faster than the 7900GTX? Is it wise to sell my 7900GTX and get the 8800GTS?

 

[romeozor]

depends, a 512mb 7900gtx would outperform the 320mb gts at higher resolution with some AA, AF, but at mainstream settings the 8800 would win over the 7900

 

[Forceman]

Depends on the resolution, but some of the recent reviews with the 320MB version showed some pretty good gains over the 7900/x1900 series cards. Enough so that I finally decided to upgrade my x1900xt to an 8800GTS now that I have a 20" monitor.

the 320M GTS seems to be ahead of a 7900GTX @ 1600x1200

the 320 is better than people give credit for even at high resolutions

320MB is a bottleneck for Dx10 games while opening the AA & AF

ImageShack is your friend. Consider it...


8800gts is my pick. The majority of benchmarks go to 88

 

[GoldenTiger]

Nice hotlinking, EOS30D!

The 8800GTS (original 640MB model) whups the 7900GTX in everything, hands down.

Would it benefit me any at all if I have athlon 64 4000+ with 2 gigs of ram to upgrade from a 7900 gtx to an 8800 gts 64. Or is my processor going to bottleneck me.

You should be basically fine bottlenecking-wise .

the thing is how fast is the palit rated?
