help me out on 8800gts vs 8800gts

[UpskirtHeaven]

whats the difference between

NX8800GTS-T2D512M-OC and NX8800GTS-T2D512E-OC ?

i went to msi website here http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func ... at2_no=136 and in the 8800gts category only shows the 512E and no 512M

can someone help me out? does 512M even exist?

and which is newer? the 512M or the 512E?

NX8800GTS-512M_OC (MS-V801)
512MB DDR3
678MHz Core 1944MHz Memory
• Dual-link DVI Support
• HDTV-out + Dual DVI Connectors
• HDCP Support
• Over CLock Edition
• Shader Clock: 1728MHz

NX8800GTS-T2D512E_OC (MS-V801)
512MB DDR3
730MHz Core 1944MHz Memory
• Dual-link DVI Support
• HDTV-out + Dual DVI Connectors
• HDCP Support
• Over CLock Edition
• Shader Clock: 1825MHz

It seems the M model does exist, but does not contain the T2D designation. Judging by the MSI part numbers, I would guess that the "M" model is newer.

thanks for the info but where did you get the source from? jus curious and which will you rather get? the 512M or the 512E?

and what is TD2?

ohhh the model number "TD2" oh ok. the M is newer than the E right? but i dont get it.. why is the newer is slower clock than the older?






please help. i found this http://www.xpcgear.com/nx8800gts512m.html it says the M is discontinued!!!!!!!!!!! what about the E? does anyone know if the E is discontinued?

is discontinued item good to buy?

[mr_noname111]

the 8800GTS has been discontinued only because NVIDIA rebranded it as 9800GTX. It's still a very capable card so don't worry that it is discontinued.

Don't worry too much about the model, as there shouldnt be much difference. A 8800GTS is a 8800GTS. But from the above go for the E since it has higher clocks.

They are both essentially the same GPU, so go for the one that is cheaper and just use Rivatuner to ramp it up.
