8800GT Help?

They are "rebadged" cards from a normal manufacturer. They are a legit site, but I don't live in the UK and thus have never ordered from them or know exactly what they are like. You would have better luck on forums with a larger international presence such as XtremeSystems (here's a perfect thread for you to ask in :) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=163620&page=16 ).

EDIT: I misread, thought you meant 8800GT, *not* 8800GTX. There is NO reason to buy a GTX now, go for a normal GT, almost same performance and much cheaper.
 
I've seen the GT for £200 but it's out of stock at most places, £300 for a GTX is not worth it IMO.
 
Thanks! But would it be better to get a GT instead of the GTS someone mentioned in my PC Build thread? Surely if I ordered one soon I would get it before christmas, as really this is what my new PC is going to be... A Christmas present!!

I have ordered from Overclockers before and had very good service from them, and I presume so has my brother has he was the one who recommended the site to me.
 
Yes, the GT is a LOT faster than the GTS, so go for it instead.
 
Thanks for the help! Also, i was going to get a Gigabyte P35 Motherboard, and I was hoping, that in the future I may use SLI. Any one know any good alternatives?

I didn't want to make a new thread while I am on the subject of GFX Cards!
 
I dunno about the board but the only good time to go SLI would be now, where the top (or very close to) card is cheap and buy both of them.

Ok, So the EVGA GeForce 8800GT 512mb will bring be better performance than the BFG GeForce 8800GTS 640mb for a much cheaper price i understand?

This means, because its cheaper I will be able to get another gig of RAM :p

Yes the 8800GT is faster and cheaper. :p

If you have 2gb of RAM then there is no real need to upgrade to 3gb.
 
So... How come the GT will bring better performance for a much cheaper price and only 512mb than the GTS... Doesn't make sence ;) Also, yes I will go for SLI, may aswell while im building it! So if anyone could recommend an alternative to the GigaByte P35 motherboard that will support SLI :)

Just to let anyone know that i don't like OCing :p

Faster than the 640? Are there new benches that have popped up because for the life of me i cant find a single one that compares it to the 640.

It's not much slower than the GTX. Therfore I would persume it is substantially faster than the GTS 640mb however I have seen no benchmarks comparing it with the 8800GTS.

3 gigs is the sweet spot. With two gigs, I have to fight for planes and choppers in BF2. With 3 gigs, I 'm the first in the server to spawn in a new map. I get my pick.

Ram is so cheap these days. Why not get 4 gigs....

Fine - you can see a benifit - most can't.

Besides, get 4gb and a 64bit OS.
 
I was already going for a 64bit OS :p Ill get 4GB RAM then if I am getting a cheaper GFX Card for a just as good performance one. Chances are in 2 years ill be upgrading the GFX Card again anyway! Seams the GFX Card market is moving very fast these days :p

So 4GB RAM and a GT it is :p
