Hey I got the GTS (G92) its better then the 8800GT however if you dont want to buy the GTS which I would recommend if you think the GT is enough for you then go for it. Im going to presume both being G92 both can be overclocked extremely.
My 8800GTS is highly overclocked & is a great card even with just the stock cooler but it depends how much money you want to spend.

So basiclly its worth the extra $20 and just get the GTS. The one you have is it the one i linked aside from brand?
Or maybe the regular GT? at $229. but it does have only a 1600 memclock and only 256VRAM.Eva027Dont get this because its only 256mb, IF IT were 512mb but with lower clocks then you can get it and use RivaTuner to OC your card.

Ofcourse. If you have any wills to upgrade later to one of the 9 series in 3 mths, then get eVGA and use their Step-Up program (assuming that you live in US). Otherwise, either if you dont live in US or you dont want to upgrade, XFX, eVGA and BFG are the top for nvidia cards[QUOTE="sparkstar01"]Hey I got the GTS (G92) its better then the 8800GT however if you dont want to buy the GTS which I would recommend if you think the GT is enough for you then go for it.

YES!!!!! $20 is nothing compared to difference between the two cards, no I dont have the XFX one but its the same GTS with stock speed not a overclocked one but its a great card you will LOVE it the temps are around 45c on idle which for some cards are water-cooled temps
see heres some proof to back up my claim as you can see I overlcocked the core from 650MHz to 800Mhz & all this speeds are 24/7 stable with games & 3Dmark sorry for the big picture :(
Heh... it's kinda sad what these manufacturers are doing.... They factory overclock the card and charge you for it.... and then newegg has 2 more cards of the same card... but it comes with COH that you are really paying an extra 30 dollars for. How much is "Company of Heros", anyway? Let me check... http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=647163. ROFLOL.... it's 20 bucks...
Same card... different clock speeds.... 20 dollar difference in price....
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150274 overclocked, minus the not so free game $269
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150273 standard clock, minus the not so free game. $249
Oh boy...these come with a *free* ($19.99) game, for *30 bucks*.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150254 $299 factory overclocked...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150253 $279 standard clocked.
Anyway given the above... you didn't compare fairly... should have been comparing the $249 ($230 after rebate) GT one to the $299 (280 after rebate) GTX. 50 dollar difference (in cases of rebate, too) between the two cards.... not 20 ($0 after rebate).
