8800GT/9600GT

[wonderlust]

not sure if this belongs in here or the Case section :confused:

I think the time has come to upgrade my trusty 6800Gt for something a little more powerfull.

I "only" have a 17" screen so don't need any more than 1280x1024.

My question is will either of these cards fit inside a Gigabyte 3D Aurora?

It's the original version not the 570 version.

the nVidia GeForce 9600GT in stock at aria is 23cm long, should easily fit in that case !

Well i hope it does i have the same case :D

[wonderlust]

ah then it looks good as by 6800Gt is 22cm long! :mrgreen:

Is the power connector on the end or the top?

[wonderlust]

Ok, answered the question for myself, its on the end!

Toms Hardware suggests that it beats the 8800Gt 256Mb on the whole.

So I shall wait for the prices to drop a little and pick one up :lol:

So its like

vs

http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/PCI-E/nVIDIA+GeForce+8+Series/nVidia+GeForce+8800GT+512MB+PCI-E+?productId=29148


Its only £14 more for th 512 8800gt then based on toms hardware I would spend the extra ££

when I look at the price difference (512Mb vs 512Mb) I think I will go for the 8800GT

Where is the power connector on an 8800GT?

[SIMON11]

I have the 8800GTX and there are two power connectors on the end of the card.

[marsey99]

its on the end too.

[wonderlust]

Ah ok, as far as I can see it is also about 23cms in lenght so will just about fit in my case.

hurry up Nvidia and launch a 9800Gt so the 8800Gts drop a bit more.

Mind you I could always go crossfire on my P35 :idea:
