go for it, you will appreciate the difference between your 8600GT and that one.

[DriveRaider]

good price and brand? same performance as other 8800 GTS g92 models right?

[pcgamer]

The performance different is close to none unless you get a product saying "OMG BBQ OC VERSION" you won't notice a difference in framerate.

200 bucks is really good for that card so get it

[werth]

yup msi has been around a while

[smitty1258]

nah I dont think you should get it, I like being the only one around here with it

i didnt get the MSI one quick enough and the rebate expired. im thinking about getting this one but i dont know how good ECS is. what do you guys think  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134037

ecs is shit generally speaking, but $160... WOW. get it. just make sure there is SOME SORT of warranty. chances are a shitty company such as ecs, if something does go wrong, itll be in the first year, or probably first month. so as long as its got a 1 year youre cool. also, a year from now, that card will be worth ~$100 street value.

also, is a 500 watt OCZ stealthXstream PSU powerful enough to run 1, 8800 GTS? i know SLI isnt an option

Easily

so, do i get it or should i wait for one of the XFX ones to go on sale, it says under newegg's standard return policy:return for replacement within 1 year. but i dont want a $160 brick if this card goes south after 1 1/2 years. XFX has lifetime warranty. im thinking about holding out a bit longer and see how much cheaper these cards will get. what do you guys think?

in 1 1/2 years the 8800gts 512 will be worth around 80-100 anyway. just get it.

driver cleaner from guru3d. ESPECIALLY if youre switching ati/nvidia
