Hi guys I'm thinking of getting a new graphics card but the only problem is that I JUST CAN'T CHOOSE.
Ok well I can either get an XFX 8800GTS 320 MB XXX or an Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB or anything else in that price range. Please help me choose.
Thanks

As far as I know, the xfx card will just be a little overclocked, but that you can do yourself on the nvidia one
What is die price difference between them?

Rather get an 8800gt if you can find stock much faster compared to 8800gts 320mb.

From where I'm getting them there isn't a price difference.

Get an 8800GT. Its about R1000 cheaper than the GTS and it performs much better. Prophecy might have some extra stock available next week once all the pre-orders are shipped. I would pre-order one from them or email them and make an enquiry.

Cheaper but the 8800gt still beats it.

Ja, the 8800GT is a safe bet.. If you can get a 3870 for about R2000 then thats worth it, but if you can afford the 8800GT rather get that..

If your strapped for cash go for the HD3870 but otherwise order yourself the 8800GT. You can get the 8800 for an average price of about 2,6 - 2,7k. SHop around and you will find it lower, saw a special (cant remember where) and it was goin for R2399

They got the ASUS 8800GT going for R2399 and it comes with a game (Can't remember which one though)

Is an Nvidia 8800GT any better or worse than the ASUS one or are they all the same?

Is the 8800GTS 512MB much more expensive than the 8800GT

8800GTS 512 isn't out yet first of all. And will be about a R1000 more expensive than a 8800GT.
Nvidia make the graphics cards, and then they are branded with stickers later eg. asus, inno etc. Only the warranty will differ and the OC etc. So there is no real difference between brands.

If you can get an 8800GT, take it regardless of brand. As long as it has a warranty.
