8600gts ssc

[ic3dblue]

i know the big hype is about the 8800 series, but i dont have 300 dollars for a graphics card. haha.

so i was looking around newegg and i saw the evga 8600gts ssc for 150 after rebate. it has a core speed of 756 mhz, but its 128-bit interface gddr3. whats better? to get a card with say around ~550 mhz and 256-bit gddr3 or the ssc 8600gts?

thanks!

PS: i couldnt find any reviews for the ssc card.

I have the 8600 GTS SC. It's not bad, but I bought it as a "temporary" type card. I plan on using the eVGA step up program to get an 8800GT is nothing better is out in a few weeks. I personally think 150 is too much for the card, and you would be better off waiting a few weeks to maybe get something from the ATI lineup when their new cards come out. The ATI cards are rumored to be in that price range.
