Introduction

At the beginning of September we took a look at a couple of GeForce 8600 cards and investigated whether more memory or higher clock speed was more advantageous to outright performance. This article proved a popular read, so today we follow up and take a look at how speed/memory specifications affect the 8800 GTS cards.

We will be looking at the clock speed enhanced XFX 320Mb Fatal1ty card compared to the standard 640Mb model from Gainward. Not only do these cards have differing specifications they also come with their own unique bundled extras and interesting price points which make the overall comparison rather interesting.
