The GeForce 8 series is set to expand on April 17th as Nvidia is set to release three mid-range DirectX 10 graphics cards. While these new affordable graphics cards are going to be very attractive, it is still hard to ignore the value currently offered by the 320MB version of the GeForce 8800 GTS, which can be had for just $300. At least on paper, we can already tell this new offering is a good value as it features everything found on the original 8800 GTS with just half the memory, and a 33% lower price tag.
The GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB has captured and quickly dominated the $300+ videocard market as there is nothing else within this price range that can compete or even come close to it. This new GeForce 8-series alternative was released a little over a month ago now and availability has been excellent from the beginning, with countless options available. Today we have managed to get our hands on the ASUS EN8800GTS, which is priced at around $310 and comes with a few added bonuses.

This temp 7300GS just doesn't cut it, and I havent had it 24 hours! lol
Clearly those that plan on playing intense first person shooters at high resolutions, will be much better off spending the extra $100. However, those limited to a resolution of 1600x1200 or less are probably better off saving their money and getting the cheaper 320MB 8800 GTS. . That means: if you do NOT plan to buy a 1600x1200+ monitor, getting +320MB of ram would be quite useless. It depends on what you're playing on, more than what game you're playing.
What resolution/AA you play at is part of it, what game you play later will be bigger.
