I never manage to get a hold of a 8800GT (G92) so I bought a 8800GTS (G92) instead.
I had fun playing with it and made some comparisons. The GTS is suppose to be little faster with its 128 shader processors instead of 112. Cording to the reviews that I have read its not much of a difference.
But there are other differences. 3 phase power, better cooling and I think Nvidia has modified the voltage on the card. My overclock results are almost identical to 8800GT cards that has been Volt moded.
I modified my GTS speed to match the Vanilla GT. Here are some comparisons:
Intel E4300 @ 3300mhz
EVGA 8800GTS Max OC @811/1949/2002 = 12133 3dmark06
EVGA 8800GTS Default @670/1674/1944 = 11603 3dmark06
EVGA 8800GT Default @600/1500/1800 = 11052 3dmark06
I also ran the same tests at
E4300 default speed 1800mhz.
EVGA 8800GTS Max OC @811/1949/2002 = 7788 3dmark06
EVGA 8800GTS Default @670/1674/1944 = 7610 3dmark06
EVGA 8800GT Default @600/1500/1800 = 7531 3dmark06
- As you can see there is not much difference from the slowest clocked 8800GT to a maxed out 8800GTS.
- The CPU speed makes a huge difference.
- If you are planning on buying a 8800GT volt mod and swap the fan, then you might be better of buying a 8800GTS card to begin with.
- If you are not going to vmod or swap out the heatsink then the cheapest 8800GT card will do great. Lots of performance small price tag
