After going through my 3rd 8800GT RMA EVGA was awesome and sent me an 8800GTX back.

I am not sure what it is but it seems to me my 8800GT ran better/was more powerful.

I understand clock for clock G92 is going to beat a G80 I mean the shader/core is clocked/does clock a lot higher.

I got this with my new GTX

I run 610/975/1566 24/7 so thats with memory a bit higher because g80 is not memory bandwidth limited. So on my 24/7 setting I get around 12780.

-----------

With my 8800GT clocked @725/1728/925 and same CPU/RAM my score was around 12,900. Like I said I know the clocks are higher but the GTX does have more shaders.......

Also I am not sure what it is like an opposite placebo effect but Oblivion seemed to run better on the 8800GT.

But the GTX seems to run a lot better in Source in games. (Not like I notice 10 more FPS when it's 150+, I used FRAPS)

Is it because I run a 22" 1680x1050 monitor? And you need 24" 1920x1200+ with AA/AF to see the GTX with it's memory abilities shine? And at 1680x1050 it will be equal or slower?

I mean in all the reviews I have seen the GTX beat the GT even @ 1280x1024 but with stock clocks but I have never used stock clocks...

But then why does Oblivion run smoother on the GT?

I am not really disappointed in fact I am happy just looking for some answers if I haven't answered myself.
 
You got way better deal, saying that new 8800gt are sub $200 while gtx still bring $300+. Congrats.
 
I would love to get a 8800GTX as a replacement for an 8800GT...lucky you...

3DMark sometimes doesn't matter because at least now, enjoy playing games on a 30"+ screen
 
I have the same card and am running at 648/2610/1053 which really smokes the pants off the Ultra. Try pushing it a little. You'll see the difference.
