Ick. You'd be better off with a 7950GT than that. Pony up the money and get an 8800GT. The 1 gig version is out now.

Johnny is right, I'd get the 8800GT. I'm not too sure if it's worth buying the 1 GIG version under any circumstance.

if money is an issue, get the 8600GT or even 7600GT instead.

the 1gb version is noob bait. The 8800gt cannot make use of 1gb.

the 512mb version of the 8800gt is perfectly fine, or if you want to spend a little more you can look into the 8800gts (512mb).

Pretty much. 1gb cards is practically a well-thought out scam. I remember some kid telling me the other day that his 8800GTS 640 was better than my 9800GTX (which is funny because that's the exact same card I came from). He also thinks that his computer beats mine soley because it has 3gb of RAM as opposed to my 2gb.

i also love it when people think they have a better PC than be soley based on their GPU. A buddy of mine said he had a better computer than me because he had an 8800gt... even though he was still using a single core an 512mb of RAM :lol:
