    I seem to be churning these out like hotcakes!!

    Anyways, I was wondering whether there was any estimate on what the 3dmark score would be of an 8800gtx go. How does it compare to the 7950gtx?

    The 8800GTX has slower core speed but higher memory speed than the 7950GTX. The 8800GTX go has a different core and architecture, which should produce higher 3d marks than the 7950 GTX

    Expect it to benchmark up to 20% lower than a stock 8800GTS.
