With all the hype around the 8800GT I am in the same boat as alot of other people, should I drop my 8800GTS 320mb XXX by XFX and get a 8800GT or stay with the 8800GTS and wait for Nvidia's next series? and if so when will that be?
 
Ya might as well wait if you already have a GTS. I'd guess the new cards will be out Q2 2008.
 
No way, stay with the gts, you won't see a great difference. Wait the 8900GT/GTX or even the 9800GTX :)
 
k guys thanks, I might have a Q6700 otw soon so this will be good with that cpu, I didnt know what to do was about to order it. but I have heard from everyone that even the new G92 cards take a hit with games like crysis
 
If you can get a GT w/o spending money out of your pocket then I'd actually say grab one.

The reason is your 320mb of ram will become more of a problem as games need more memory. Its also a slight boost in speed as well, though you might want after market cooling.

Yes, "it takes a hit", but consider this:

My rig: 8800GT, X2 4800+ (s939), 2GB RAM, EVGA NF41-SLI board, XP 32-bit

1280x1024, 2xAA, all settings high - Avg 31fps in Crysis GPU benchie

So... It depends on what resolution and whether or not you're running DX10 on Crysis. It's a very scalable game but no card out there can run Crysis very well at high resolutions and image quality.

EDIT: OP - Grab the Crysis demo and run the benchie yourself to see what kind of results you get. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. :)
 
IF i were u i would get the gt its allloot better than my 8800gts 640 mg. The 320 was a disgrace of a card i think
 
wel im looking at the MSI 8800GT and it seems that these cards run hot and have atiny but loud fan, and sorry about I dont want to buy a card to have to upgrade the cooling before I even start it

This is a hard decision to make. I've thought about it, and decided just to wait for the next flagship.
