GTX 260 vs 8800 gtx

[Rab2140]

Hey again all, Back with another offer. I have came across a deal for an gtx 260 for just over 100 pounds.

My question is will the card outperform my 8800 gtx and if so how much ? How would this card compare to min in crysis.

The card in an inno 3d 192 core version.

Thanks

Some researches,
1. 8800 GTX under load = 79 celcius = 13.2K 3D Mark 06
2. 260 GTX under load (and OC'd to 714 Core, 1505 Shader & 2.3 Mem)= 68 celcius under load = 17.2 3D Mark 06.
I'd take the 260. well, think about it its a 260 <- one of newest cards its good numbers, you can show off to friends and others..

I think it's worth only at high resolutions such as 2560x1600 and 1920x1200. The average performance increase is around 10-15FPS, which can make a difference in games where you are getting 30-40FPS, since this will push performance nearer to 60FPS, making things smoother in general.

But unless you have a display that is capable of 1920x1200 or higher resolutions (or you are planning to upgrade to one), I don't think it's worth it.

Offtopic question: rage,
I know that 1920x1200 view is called HD ready. but i forgot how you call 2560x1600. something like Quad HD?

Actually, no. Quad Full HD would be the 2160p mode that is slated to be the successor to current Full HD (1080p) technology, but widespread adoption is at least 5-6 years away.

There is also a new standard, SHV (Super Hi-Vision, a.k.a. Ultra HD) that is being worked on in Japan. The latter will have a whopping 33MP (7860 x 4320) resolution, compared to 8MP (3840x2160) for QFHD and 4MP for Full HD.

2560 x 1600 would then be Double Full HD or something. :haha:

Get the GTX 260, they are close to $150 dollars on Newegg and outperform the 8800 GTX considerably. I want one myself.
