So what would you buy? My dad will be buying a new PC in roughly 10 days, he's going to need a somewhat high-end videocard, but I think my 8800ts 320mb will do the trick for him :evil:

So would the 8800gtx be worth it for 227 euro's vs the 8800gts or 8800gt which costs 190 euro's or 150 euro's? I know it requires more power and puts out more heat, but if it performs much better at 1680*1050 I'll take that for granted. My cooler-master 650w PSU should be able to handle it.

I've got to be quick though, because I think it's a 'HOT DEAL' and won't last forever ...

You need to buy a 8800 GTS 512 MB ram. (Not 320mb!!)
It is the best purchase right now. I am going to buy it.

Hmmm, think I found the answer myself: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140&p=9

Looks like the 8800gt is only a weeeeee bit slower then the 8800gtx. With the 8800gts being only a WEEEEE bit slower then the 8800ultra * from a different benchmark *

The 8800gt is a fair bit faster then the 8800gts 320mb though. So I guess it will be either a 8800gt or 8800gts, depending on how good of a price I can find on them.

Yes .. if you can't wait the GTX is an awesome card!
- however at 16x10 it is almost overkill .. almost

Get the GTS, 2-slot cooler + it's slightly more powerful.

I just made that exact jump. Made an insane amount of difference. I mean like bumping Crysis from 1024x768 to 1920x1200 difference 😛
