Nvidia G92 is the 8700GTS

[Gabb]

personally I would buy the 320 but IMO its too early to call the 640mb one worthless, at very high resolutions with AF or AA it helps in some of todays games, in games of the future it could possibly help smooth out stutters on games with huge levels or tons of texture detail.

QFT, same way I feel too. I hate how just 1 example of a 320mb GTS vs the 640 in results test makes everyone think vram is useless. This kinda happened with the whole P5N-E 650i vs the 680i. Just cause the 650i barely won 1 SLI test, everyone thought it was light years ahead of the 680i mobo.

eVGA step up plan. That reminds me, i gotta register the card today.

you do realize when they charge you the cards they are using MSRP prices ( which are ALWAYS higher then retail prices )...so do the math before you think the step up program is such a great plan

 

[Gabb]

are the 8700s gonna be better in performance or graphics in anyways compared to the 8800s?

no...cause if it was they wouldn't call it an 8700...too me this card is kinda unnecessary but I guess they wanted to fill the gap between the 8600s and 8800s ( which was a HUGE gap ). Still thought the least I would recommend is a GTS, and the most I would recommend is an ultra if the prices are near a GTX.

why did u get the gtx if they prices are alike?

VR-Zone : Technology Beats - Nvidia G92 Card is 9-inch Long

G92 is 9-inch long same length as the GeForce 8800 GTS, but it is single slot

So that means that 8700GTS is half the size of 8800GTS because 8800GTS is dual slot

the 8700 GTS is perfect for 4 x PCI-E mobos, like this:

MSI K9A2 AMD RD790 mainboard pictures - Hardware Reviews, Sim Lim Square, Singtel mio tv, Starhub maxmobile, Low yat @ my.ocworkbench.com
