8800gt vs 8800gts vs 8800gtx
its time to upgrade my video card in order to run the new upcoming MMORPG Age of Conan. On their website they say that they recommend at least a 7950gx2 to run the game smoothly and seeing as how I only have a 256mb x1950xt (DX9 Card) I wanna buy a DX10 card to enjoy some of those new DX10 features in Age of Conan.
But after looking at some of the benchmarks for these cards it seems rather confuseing to me because it shows the 8800gt faster then the 8800gts in some benchmarks and the 8800gt is faster then the 9600gt by 20% as well, and the 9800gts and gtx are only like 5fps faster then their 8800gts and gtx predicesors.
Isnt the 8800gts and 8800gtx soposed to be faster then the 8800gt model? which card would you guys recommend?
Here are the best deals I found for each model
