Alright, have ordered the eVGA GeForce 8800 GT a few minutes ago.
I wasn't sure about this card when I placed the order for my other computer items, but the person who took the order convinced me to the point that this is the card to go for and he managed to calm me down regarding my heat-problem concerns ... I then just ordered it .

I know for Crysis and Flightsimulator X for example - every single FPS counts.
Hopefully I won't get my case in flames one day, hehe.


eVGA ! Please don't let me down !

I was really unsure which one to get, the 8800 GT or the 9600 GT.
The 9600 is reported to run approx 20 degrees cooler but has about 10 to 15 % lower performance.
 
the 8800gt is still the preferred card because the 9600gt only has 64 stream processors. the 9800gt will fix that though once it comes out.

im getting the 8800gt sc soon from dell since I have a gift card and coupon so I'll be able to buy it for $135 ($105 AR) :D will step up to the 9800gt/gtx if it comes out in time and if its within price range.
 
8800 GT is probably the best value for a card right now (price for performance). Better than getting a 9600 GT for sure.
 
Man, how many places have you posted this??? 8800GT is a better performing card than the 9600GT.
 
Wow you ordered an eVGA 8800GT?
You, and like a million other people.
 
OMFG HE BOUGHT AN eVGA 8800GT and is CURIOUS if his COMPUTER IS GOING TO MELT !@!

eVGA Please Don't Let Him Down.!
 
Dear people

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for your responses and besides this I would like to confirm: Yes I have an eVGA GEFORCE 8800 GT now ! ... can't test it because I'm still waiting for the memory to arrive though.

But if anyone could post some valuable info like performance & temperature results, instead of sarcasm only ... that would be something.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to screw yourself.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.
 
You can find those numbers on countless threads right here :).

Yes it will rock, mine does at 1920x1080 in just about every game.
 
Here is my personal experience with my EVGA 8800GT and what setting I game at. This is paired with a Q6600 cpu at stock speed and 2gigs DDR667 RAM.

Crysis - 1440 x 900 All settings on high with no AA enabled
Stalker - 1440 x 900 with med-high settings
COD4 - 1680 x 1050 with 4X AA and 4XAF
GOW - 1920 x 1200 with settings all on high and no AA enabled
UT3 - 1920 x 1200 with no AA enabled.
 
I had a GT.
Temps avg around 80C without modifying the fan speed.
Stock fanspeed is 29%. Anything higher than 42% was annoying. Temps avg around 75C, then.

GTS fanspeed stock is 39%
I set it to 58% in games, and doesn't go above 65C.

GT runs very hot.
Its hard to keep cool, because the fan gets really annoying if its set high.

I like my GTS. I did a Step-up with the GT.
I recommend upgrading to a GTS or better card on the very last day of your Step-up. GT is a great card, keep it for as long as possible. That should give enough time to save the difference.
