So it depends on which continent you live. May be the difference is because of the different warehouse stocks. On very high resolutions/AA/AF in some games it is. But not the memory bus speed. I did not make that review. I only posted another benchmark to show that others also got such results and not only ccokeman/overclockersclub.com.

I already did: The cheapest 8800gtx I find is a XFX GeForce 8800 GTX 600M Extreme, 768MB GDDR3 for 205,90€. http://geizhals.at/deutschland/?fs=8800gtx...amp;y=0&in= And the cheapest 9800gtx I find is a Zotac GeForce 9800 GTX, 512MB GDDR3 for 233,61€. http://geizhals.at/deutschland/?fs=9800gtx...amp;y=0&in= And this contradicts the fact of the lower memory bus speed and its consequences in which way? That is why I wrote: "At very high resolutions/AA/AF you have lower fps with the 9800gtx in some games than with the cheaper and older 8800GTX." You are wrong, at very high resolutions/AA/AF in some games the lower memory bus speed is a con. The intro is not that gpu intensive as the game and the used system(Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 and Win XP) is pretty fast. What is so difficult to understand the graph? I only posted another benchmark to show that others also got such results and not only ccokeman/overclockersclub.com.

There really is a con: At very high resolutions/AA/AF you have lower fps with the 9800gtx in some games than with the cheaper and older 8800GTX. That is because the 9800gtx only has a 256bit memory bus instead of the 384bit of the 8800gtx. http://www.ht4u.net/reviews/2008/nvidia_ge...gtx/index25.php
