Which GeForce 8800GT buy to?

The GTS is a nice card but beware of heat issues. I have seen issues arise on other boards using this card running Crysis on higher resolutions in the snow levels etc. (While O/Cing to do so)

Actually the new Accelero S1 rev2 includes a second bolt pattern for the the G80 or G92 GPU I assume so be neat to see how it performs

8800GTS-512 will not accept drivers before 163.xx (come with card) which are needed (162.18) to run Grand Prix Legends.

Did you try with modded ini file ??

hmm do i read you clear , you cant install drivers or the game dont work right ??

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, modded ini file? Game will not work with 8800GTS with newer nVid, Omega, NGO, etc drivers and some folks say 8800GT, GTX will work with Grand Prix Legends if we use 162.18. My EN8800GTS-512mg will not accept ('software not found') driver unless it's 163 or later which it accepts, but freezes GPL in pitlane. ?

Thanks, many 8800GT, GTX, Ultra owners have the problem but fix it with 162.18 which my 8800GTS-512 doesn't 'see'. They then complain they need another install to run other games with newer drivers but ASUS, nVid. have not responded. Probably 'cuz it's an older game/sim; though website forum has 500,000+ posts and has dozens of active leagues.

When two slightly modified C2D E6600 dies stuck together (Q6600) that are clocked a little higher then a phenom 9500 beats THE HELL out of it, it's pretty clear who has the superior architechture. Yet some people *AHEM* such as you and me still buy AMD processors because they don't like companies that fu¢k people.
