With prices below $300, the power of the best NVIDIA has to offer is
now available for everyone. With the only difference between the two GTS models
being the amount of GDDR3 RAM (640MB vs. 320MB) the sub-$300 price is attractive and
reasonable. MSI took the reference design and upped the ante by increasing the core
and memory clock speeds in their NX8800GTS-T2D320E-HD OC offering. The increase in
raw speed on the card served as a good reminder that the marketing hype of "more
memory = faster" is definitely not always the case as was discovered when put the
through the paces against its bigger, but slower, 640MB brother.
