G80 vs G92 vs G94 round up

Now here's a review where all cards are using the exact same drivers and compares with variety of games using AA and no AA.


Basically
G80GTS=9600gt
8800gs>9600gt raw performance
9600gt>8800gs with AA
8800gs>G80GTS raw performance
G80GTS>8800gs with AA
8800gtx=G92GTS
8800ultra the king of single GPU video card.

looks like the top 4 nvidia single cards to play with are:

8800gts
9800gtx
8800ultra
9800gx2

For the price the win probably goes to an overclocked 8800gts 512 for $196

2 9600gt isn't bad either if you don't mind SLI.

yah 2 9600gt in sli is my pick overall. especially at $218 AR. I just have a hard time trying to find cheap sli boards

Thanks for the link, stickied for future reference.

I would've liked to have seen clock-for-clock comparisons though to see if we could isolate differences to architecture and not markitecture. Specifically the G80 GTS parts. Such a sad fate for that part to always have to be clocked at 500-513MHz against everything else when it easly clocks to 600+ and was widely available at 576+ clock speeds. A comparison for all parts at 600/1000 with shader at default would've been just about perfect. Sure the G92 parts can clock much higher than that, but the benefit gained from core OCs for G92 are much less than G80.

Well there's always OC version of the chip although all non OC chips overclock to OC clocks. 3rd party has been doing this for a while now to milk the consumers.

There's so many different clocked 9600gt, 8800gs, 8800gt, now a days.
