The first releases of the 8800 GTS line, in November 2006, came in 640 MB and 320 MB configurations of GDDR3 RAM and utilized NVIDIA's G80 GPU.[19] While the 8800 GTX has 128 stream processors and a 384-bit memory bus, these versions of 8800 GTS feature 96 stream processors and a 320-bit bus. With respect to features, however, they are identical because they use the same GPU.[20]
Around the same release date as the 8800 GT, NVIDIA released a new 640 MB version of the 8800 GTS. While still based on the 90 nm G80 core, this version has 7 out of the 8 clusters of 16 stream processors enabled (as opposed to 6 out 8 on the older GTSs), giving it a total of 112 stream processors instead of 96. Most other aspects of the card remain unchanged. However, because the only 2 add-in partners who are making this card (BFG and EVGA) have decided to overclock it, this version of the 8800 GTS actually runs slightly faster than a stock GTX in most scenarios, especially at higher resolutions, due to the increased clock speeds.[21]
NVIDIA released a new 8800 GTS 512 MB based on the 65 nm G92 GPU on 10 December 2007.[22] This 8800 GTS has 128 stream processors, compared to the 96 processors of the original GTS models. It is equipped with 512 MB GDDR3 on a 256-bit bus. Combined with a 650 MHz core clock and architectural enhancements, this gives the card raw GPU performance exceeding that of 8800 GTX, but it is constrained by the narrower 256-bit memory bus. Its performance can match the 8800 GTX in some situations, and it outperforms the older GTS cards in all situations.
[edit]Technical summary
Por eso dudaba de la 8800gt y dije el "creo". La g80 sólo tenía 96 shaders y la última revisión g92 128 shaders. Gracias por la aclaración sacre.
Yo también tuve una hd 5870 y una 8800gt. En mi caso la placa base que tenía me detectaba la nvidia como principal y no había manera de hacer andar el chiringuito.
Luego con la gtx 570, la 8800gt me lastraba el rendimiento en batman AC.
