How much faster is a 8800GT over a 7800GTX?

[spiroh]

I currently have a 7800GTX but due to playing my came in 1920x1200 native res, it is starting to cause me problems. Is it worth it to upgrade to a 8800GT? How much faster would it be over a 7800GTX?

There is only about 1000 sources of information comparing the cards to every other card.

It's faster.. by a lot.

when the 8800gt (STOCK!) is only behind the 8800gtx in most bench marks by 5-7fps (@ 1900x1200 )

And the 8800gtx basically bitch slapped the 7950Gx2(2x7900gt in one card) when it came out. I think the 8800gt is 3x As fast as the 7800gtx at that res you mentioned.

On a scale of one bean to 3 carrots, it's about 5 potatoes faster.

a 7950gx2 is 2 7900gt 512m cards or lower clocked gtx's same thing i guess, but yea its about twice as fast ^^

Well, the 8800GT is consistently 3 to 4 times faster than my old 7800GT in both games and benchmarks, sometimes more.

Huge upgrade from the old GTX

This is probably the best technical representation of the 8800GT's awesomeness.

Get GTX if you can afford it. Extra Strem processors help it, does alot better with AA on.

"A lot" is subjective to the games he's using.

its faster. I had 2 7800gtx 512mb SLi and scored 8k in 3dmark06, with a single 8800gt and same system I scored high 11k
