New NVidia 8800 GTS 320MB Video Card

[Bruman]

Has anybody used this card yet and is it going to be offered by Maingear?

I think that this is the cheapest Direct X10 card out.
Any thoughts?

I don't know if Maingear will be using it, but reviews of the 320MB GTS have been generally favorable.

Here's what [H] has to say:

I have heard good things about it, but my concern is the price.
Overall you get less than 100 dollars savings, while you can save a bit more and get a much better upper end 8800 series card.

I am not into gaming, but thought this might be a viable upgrade to the Nvidia 7300 or 7600 which I might have ordered. 8800 price was originally out of the questions.

[theDreamer]

Ah, I see, well then that I can not be sure of.
Seeing as most just buy 8800 series for the "next gen" games and future proof, but I am sure there are more to the cards that will allow for better speed/performance overall.

8800GTS 320MB is now available with our Prelude systems.

Thank You,

Thanks for the quick response. I might just order one when I order my system this weekend.

While I don't do much gaming, when the version of Photoshop comes out, I hear rumors that it might just take advantage of Direct X 10 which this card has..

Is there any chance that any other video cards price will go down?

[DBecker]

My question is would you be better off going with the GTS 320 in SLI vs a single GTS 640?

A good debate (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1157371/url)

This is not exactly the same, as it does not ask about the GTS, but the GTX. It would most likely be the same thing.

General overview:
~Better upgrade path
~Greater OC ability
~Space saving

Enjoy.

I would think you'd be limited with AA settings in the 320mb version. I'm sure it performs great, but I play all my games with 8xQAA+TMS. I don't think a 320mb card would have the memory to handle all those samples.
