Seeing as these are basicly the same cards, GT and GTS, I'm pretty sure that there will be a way to turn the GT into the GTS shortly after its released (bios hack or mod)................ :rolleyes: . That's what I'll opt for.

Thatd' be nice since the only real difference would be the cooler and the # of SP's. Those are pretty well locked down though (I thought).

Not always....;) There's been a bunch of cards in the past where all it took was a simple bios flash to mod a card up to the next level or even higher. And seeing as these are all on reff board, using the same memory (from what I heard) and the same core (just more pipes enabled), it just might work. It only takes a few days for someone to do all the dirty work and post the info to the web.........:)

An additional review by Tweaktown - OC'd GTS vs GT. The GT holds it's own against the GTS.
