This is the cheapest 8800 GT with 1GB of ram that I have seen out there. When you do a search for cards matching that description the rebate does not show on the list, but it shows on the page for that specific card when you click on it. Enjoy.

every 8800gt uses the g92 core...

does anyone know how this performs compared to a 512mb version?

Just more texture memory.

Gotta love the robo-frog! LOL

i don't assume the 1gb makes much of a diff, right?

Only to stop higher resolution from crawling.

It shouldn't make anything faster if it doesn't need the memory.

I picked up one of these for work a couple days ago. Though I only ordered one card, the guy I had test it said it worked great though. I'm not sure how much it will benefit in games, but I had some artists that needed this card. When running 3DSMax and their model viewer at the same time, they wound up using much more than 512MB of RAM, dropping their model viewer down to like 0.5fps. With the extra RAM, it no longer had to swap with regular memory, bringing them back up to about 25fps.

With that said, I expect the benefit you'll see from this is that you can run games at maximum/high/extreme textures.

Hideous is an understatement... you'd have to find a way to take off that orange eyesore or spraypaint it.
