Yeah.. The 8xx series was WAYWAYWAY too hot. I think they should be illegal to own.

Don't you just love how the AMD processors just went down to such a low price? Expecially after you just bought one?

But nice rig.

I've found that the 8600GTS offers very good performance compared to the 8800GTX, not AS good but close. And its a shitload cheaper. But eh, brag rights i suppose.

Not even close at all.

[H]'s review of the BFGTech GeForce 8800 GTX and the XFX GeForce 8600 GTS XXX Edition compared...

The 8800 GTX is at 16xAA and a lot higher resolution, with absolutely ALL eye-candy maxed out and still significantly performs a hell of a lot better then the 8600 GTS.

[Dan]

Yes well, I'd still rather save $200 over 12 more average fps.
