The 8800GTS 512MB is almost as powerful as the 8800GTX at lower resolutions for much less.

But if you insist on wasting money on older hardware than either the 8800GTX of 9800GTX will do that very well. ;)

ElectricNZ answered your question in the 3rd post though.

Well a 8800GTX is like £160-£200 a GTX280 is like £500

Bit of a difference there

exactly, it snot like the over priced older graphics card is that much more expensive than the otehr one, but the brand new one is double the price.

I know that people are going on and on about other cards but I have a choice between 2 cards only in the options, the 8800GTX 768MB or the 9800GTX 512MB. What I wanted to know was what the performace difference is between the 2 of them and which one of those two cars is overall better.

heres another system that i have made on a different web site the only propblem is that there is no 9800GTX option available only the 8800GTX 768MB, but i'm going to email them and see what they can do.

becaus enot all of us can afford to go and buy over priced new pieces of computer equipment.

i have a choce between the 8800GTX with 768MB of Ram or the 9800GTX with 512MB of Ram. Out of those two exact card i would like to know what one is better overall.

What card out of these two is the bets one? Performance wise?

The Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 or the Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB?

i would like to get it, but i have read lots of foruns and stuff which says that u cant use old software and hardware with it and that it doest support 16bit programs.

also, whats the best resolution a monitor can give u?

If you go to this page: http://www.cougar-extreme.co.uk/computer_systems/433_9800_intel/config.html then you can look at the different options available. About half way down the page you shoud see the available Cases and the available PSUs. Would it be wise to get the more expensive 620W corsair over the 520W or do i really need 620W?

I quite like the Gigabyte Poseidon 310 Black Midi Tower Case or the 3D Aurora Black with Side Vent. I don't know if the ones with the sticking out sude vents will fit where i'm planning to put the system lol.

Oh, and here's the detailson the monitor...I dont think it looks very good and it doesnt seem to have a very good resolutions. i think i'll be buying my own one, and suggestions?
