I have a evga 8800gtx 768 and a bfg 8800gt , I have the 8800gt running in the system but now I got this gtx768 I aquired in a deal. Should I keep it and get rid of the gt? Or vice versa.
Im running a Samsung 226bw (1680x1050) so which option should I keep.
Cpu power I have so Im not worried about bottlenecking it.
thanks for looking

either will do you fine, but see how much you can get for both and how much do you game?? Thats the big determination factor for yah.
 
If you're gonna be playing at 'ultra' high resolutions later on, then the GTX is the card to keep. Both are nice...I think I'd keep the GTX because it's as fast and has a better cooling solution, plus you can o/c it a bit more as needed.
 
the question is how much better the gtx will be for you , and if you are willing to pay the difference between them for it .
if i were in your situation , i would ask myself how soon im going to buy a new card, if very soon , i would sell the gtx and use the gt , but ofc for a good price , if not it doesn't worth it
 
I'd say keep the GTX, GTXes on ebay aren't going for too much anymore. And at that res, games will enjoy the bit more of memory down the road.

Keep the GT and send the GTX to me...

Ok, just kidding. The GTX is the better card, but it doesn't have hardware video decoding, while the GT does. At that res, the performance difference isn't huge, but as you increase AA levels, the GTX will provide a better gameplay experience.
 
Keep the GTX it'll hold up in games a bit longer than the GT, and as stated above, if you don't watch much HD videos or anything than GTX is the way to go.
 
I'll give you $5 for either.

on a serious note, The GTX out performs the GT, but you might be able to get more out of the gt. idk.
