Hey everybody this is my first post on the forum
Anyway, I just purchased an EVGA 8800GTS 512mb card yesterday for about 350 bucks not including shipping costs after a long, miserable debate about what card to get. I'm building my first ever computer and I couldn't decide between a GT or a GTX or SLI'd GT's or this new GTS, but I finally decided to get it. The way I see it, it's better than a GT in every category, and more or less equal to a GTX at the resolution I will be playing at on my 22" monitor. I think this card has a lot of overclocking potential, and am eager to experiment with it on my new rig. Also, the fact that it's only about 50 bucks more than a good GT at the moment and readily available (for the time being) basically made up my mind. Of course, I went with EVGA so I can step up to most likely the newer versions of the GTX coming out early next year.
Anyway I was wondering who else got this card, and if you have it, how do you like it? I've seen a lot of praise and a lot more bashing to go with it, so I'm going to stop reading because it makes me feel guilty about not "having the best". Then again, considering my meager student budget, this should come out to be one hell of a computer. So, how do you guys like this card?
