Which is better?

Inno3D 8800GTS 512MB http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138551

or

MSI 8800GT 1GB that is overclocked http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141838

Sorry about all my threads, I just want to get it right this time. And please dont suggest getting more RAM, or a more expensive GFX card as im pushing my budget as it is at the moment.

Definitly the second one as it is the "GT" version. The GTS is what I have but apparently the GT version is the later, better version ;)

doesn't it go GS, GT, GTS, GTX, ultra?

I dunno, get confused by all that, but it would be good to find out

I found this but it doesnt really help me as it doesnt show the 1GB version of the 8800GT

I also just found this so I think i'll give the 8800GT 1GB a miss.

but if you'll be gaming on your HDTV, the 1gb will help a lot. but performance wise, the GTS with 512mb which uses the G92 core is better.

yeah i made my decision last night, the 1GB card could decrease the performance on some games as it needs to fill up the whole gig and it uses the old g80 core, it also has slower shader, core and RAM speeds. the GTS is also better for overclocking which is what I'll be doing.
