8800 GT or 8800 GTS?
$325 in Christmas/Birthday money, and I need a new video card. I am currently running a 7600 gt. I was saving for an 8800 GTS, but now I see 8800 GT...so I am wondering which should I get, or can afford for that matter.
Also I was looking at the 8800 GT, and saw something called PCI Express 2.0...and was wonder if my mobo can support it. My motherboard is... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128059 One card I was looking at was... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133193 Also...should I wait a bit till prices drop? |

I would look at the 8800gt or if you can afford it, look at the newer 8800gts. I think they say G92 on them.

It should be good.
EDIT: If you're asking if that board has pci-e 2.0, then I don't think it does, but it will support those video cards. |

It is backward compatible. Th difference in performance is minor, from what I heard and seen.
