	Get the 8800GT 512mb. Its performance trails just slightly behind the GTX.

	So the 8800GT card preforms better then the GTS I have listed? I don't recall seeing the GT on the comparsion chart though that just may be old?

	Yes, the GT blows the 320MB version of the 8800GTS away. In nearly every case it also outperforms the 640MB 8800GTS, and in some instances it comes close to equal performance with the 8800GTX.

	Yes the 8800GT performs better than the GTS. The comparison chart hasn't been updated. The GT just came out on Oct 29th =x

	The 8800GT 512MB is replacing the 8800GTS 320MB in nVidia's line-up.
