Better than 8800GTS? I was wondering...
1876717
The current GTS is beaten by the new 8800GT and the 8800GT is only beat by 8800GTX barely. There will be a new revamped 8800GTS later out this month but if you an get your hands on a 8800GT and with a little overclocking you have a superb card at a great deal in your hands. Bonus it has DirectX 10 support.

Performance aside, the 8800 GT is a "single-slot" card, while the 8800 GTS, 8800 GTX and 8800 Ultra cards have all been "double-slot" cards to date. This means that the ONLY 8800-series card that many newer mainstream computers (like a Dell E520) can use is the new GT.

I have heard that people are having lockups and crashes when running these cards at full load because of the single slot design. You have to manually change the fan speed with a third party tweak utility (Rivatuner) because the fan defaults to 30% with nvidia drivers.. For reference my 6800gt is at 50%.

the 8800gts (512mb) is more than 100$ over the 8800gt so its not worth the price .

the new GTS with the G92 and 512 specs will have a bigger fan than the GT, heat has been the major problem of the GT cards and in performance its gonna be slightly faster with a 128 shader comparing to the 112 from the GTi say wait they should be out on the 13th of DEC

Thanks for your response. Yes, I still need to know why the price is more for the 880. May be, someone else can answer that.

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

I ran them both in our conference room and I ended up keeping the 1070, I think you'll be disappointed in the resolution of the MW821 as I was. After seeing both in action what stuck out far more than everything else was the better resolution of the 1070.

That's a personal preference and experience based to be homest.I prefer ATI (AMD) cards so thats what i have in my build right now,a XFX R9 280,3gigs and its been performing like a champ so far.

More because it's OC(overclocked). Don't waste your money the improved 700 series equivalent is coming and it will be similarly priced(I'm personally grabbing the 770 lightning).

I can run my computer at 1333 and 2.4k mghz and can't tell a difference on my gaming rig running SLI 2x NVIDIA 780 cards. I have been building my own computers for fifteen years I would say if you already have 16GB in your rig then no. Wait until your next big upgrade. I needed to upgrade because of my new motherboard and CPU. Others that want the latest and greatest would say otherwise.

No, it's part of the processor. I was actually researching this yesterday. If you can, try to to get the one that has a dual graphics combo, I believe it's the 8670 or 8750

I've had my 52" 650 since memorial dday weekend...and coming from the video industry, it's the best screen around. For thos of you comparing the 650 vs 750 vs 850; check the technical details even at a store. I walked into the CC & BB locally and yes they were all set up side by side; but since the local store wanted to sell more 850s, it was "tuned" better. The default settings have changed including the brightness level; so when you are comparing TV screens; make sure that the identical output; down to the connection is being used and that both units are identically tuned, i.e. brightness, contrast, presets...99% of the time you will find them not to be. The best tuned TV this week will not be the one next week!

Hey T. McAnaney,Yes, when I compared specs, I too looked and said, why should I pay more for an item that has the same specs? What is so different about this new model. I even went to web sites that had incorrect information on the specs of the TH-42PX600U, and the TH-42PX75U had the specs of the TH-42PX600U. So I ended up buying the TH-42PX600U. Even from what I heard that the 75U is supposed to have 1080p, versus the 1080i, I did not believe it would be worth the additional cost.

Good luck...I have four TS140's and I have had great luck turning them into solid workstations. Aside from the one exception, 3 of 4 have Xeons, ECC memory, SSD OS Drives, RAID Data, and GTX 750 Ti Video. I like them so much, I wait for crazy sales and pick another up as my next project. Low 200's for the i3-4130 and low 300's for the e3-1225v3 is really hard to beat. The one you got is the best deal because is has Xeon and the extra drive bay.

Bad advice below by Roger P in my opinion. G Sync makes the monitor adapt to the ever changing framerate to reduce tears that occur when they are not in sync. GPUs render frames at varying rates and setting your "frame rate" at 144 does not accomplish the same thing as G SYNC. I am not saying you should go with G Sync, but you shouldn't think you can do what he said to do and get the same results.

It depends on what kind of GPUs you'll be using. I tried to push two GTX 780's, and it wasn't enough for benchmarking. It ran for regular games, but you really want more headroom so you're not pushing your power supply so hard.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the GTX 780SC, so I can't give an informed opinion on the matter. They are both high-end cards, so if money is a factor I would go with the less expensive card. My GTX 680 Classified is still an awesome card and I have two friends that run them as well. There is nothing that this card won't run at the highest settings.

It's a huge upgrade. I'm getting the same frame rate with one 760 GTX SC as I was with two 560 GTX SC in SLI in world of tanks

PCIe 2.0 implies you're still on an older generation of CPU... so I guess the 780 as I think while you might even be bottlenecking that, I'm sure you'd probably be bottlenecking the 7990. If you can reply with more details about your setup (including rez of monitor) and what you want from the card (gaming, design, etc.) that would definitely make it easier to answer though. It's possible the 7990 would be better for your needs, but not knowing what they are makes it tougher to advise.

The Gigabyte version is very quiet. Evga is the number 1 seller for a reason though. My choice would be to wait till the 800 series releases.
