hey all,


Just wondering if there is a better video card:
GeForce 8800GTS 640mb

Or if this one's pretty decent that would fit into my motherboard
Don't mind what brand or how much the card costs.

My motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-X38-DS4

Thanks :)
 
The 8800 GTS 512MB is better then the 640MB. The 512MB has 128 pipelines vs. 96 plus higher clock speeds.
 
Would more memory be better than the clock speeds or the amount of pipelines? Or would the two factors be greater than the memory?
 
The stock speed for the GTS 640mb is: 500 GPU and1600 memory, for the 512mb GTS they are 650 GPU and 1944 memory. The GTS 640mb has the advantage of 320 bit memory vs. 256 bit but it is overwhelmed by 512MB's extra pipelines and speed. In an earlier HardOCP review, they had the Crysis demo recommended setttings at 1280x1024 for the 8800 GTS 640mb and 1600x1200 for the 8800 GT. The 8800 GTS 512mb is a bit faster then the 8800 GT.
