I recently built a budget gaming pc for under £200 and chose the 8800GTS for my GPU.
However, i really don't know much about it. It seems to be a bit of an oddity within the Geforce lineup.
I've scoured the web to get info on it but there isn't much, especially the one with 320mb. 3dMark doesnt even recognise it, thinks its a 640mb.
So i guess my questions are-
Where does it fit into the range? Is it higher than the GT and lower than the GTX? I'm assuming the next step up in Nvidia's range is the 9800GTX, right?
Is it actually any good? Vista experience ranks it as 5.9 but i know that doesnt mean much.
Have a look at my rig (in my signature) does everyone agree that it's my CPU not my GPU thats my bottleneck in Crysis?
And lastly (thanks for the patience!) i'm upgrading to a BFG GTX260 and a quad core, which would be the most noticable upgrade of the two?
Sorry for alot of questions, you're just all so damn knowledgeable!
