First of all I just wanna say hi, as this is my first post on your forum
I'm going to buy a new video card next week, budget somewhere between the two cards I mentioned. My rig is a Pentium 4 Lga775 @3ghz currently overclocked at 3.6, 2 gigs of ram @ 600mhz, geforce 6800 and an asus p5gd2 motherboard.
I would go for the 8800gs without hesitation, but i'm afraid the cpu will bottleneck it and it won't be much over the 8600 gts. What do you guys think? Will it be bottlenecked? I don't wanna spend 50 bucks more for nothing
p.s the 8800gs is from gainward, 8600gts extreme from leadtek
