Post by: //.DK on February 04, 2008, 10:59:47 pm
well having already a EVGA 8600GT 512MBGDDR3 for a few weeks now im not as satisfied as i thought i would be so it's time for anther upgrade. Thing is between these cards is that i could get the 8800GTX used for 175$ or i could go with this Asus card for 245$. comparing the specs, i still can't decide which card i should get so im asking you guys here at GW to help me with suggestions on which card.  :naughty:

8800 GTX is far better than the 3870. It's like insanely better.

Agreed, and being cheaper makes it that much better!

Hrmmm 175 compared to 245 I wonder.......I mean the 3870 X2 beats the GTX by a few FPS most of the time. But for 275 I doubt its the X2 seeing how thats 500 bucks so I would definitely go with the GTX.

Not a matter of opinion that the 8800 outperforms the 3870:

The GT versions of the 8800 start out at about $200, so even a brand new card would be cheaper.

Go with the 8800GTX. The overclocking is incredible.

The 8800 GTX will outperform that card. If it were the 3870 X2 it would be a different story. Go for the 8800.

Isn't that kind of what I had said a few posts ago.

thats nice but more people saying it looks better than one person saying it (one person could be wrong but if like 5 people say it its more than likely not wrong)
