is this worth it for around £190? i havea 7900gt already, i mite just wait for the inevitable 8900gtx/s or even the 8950gtx.
how do they compare to the 640mb version, i have seen a few reviews saying fps difference is EXTREMELY minimal?

i'd wait tbh, your current card should still be fast enough to endure the wait

currently there are only a few games that can fill the 320mb, so 95% of the time you have a 8800GTS 640mb, but if you play fear, bf2 or some of the newer games coming (gonna get worse as new games come out eating more vram) then there is a 20% drop (approx)
if you want a faster system, then from a 7900GT i would say go for the 8900 series. the 8900GTS has as many shaders as the GTX now, only a clock speed reduction, so that may well be a good buy... have to see the reviews.

cheers shrek, and the 8900 will probably be quite nicely priced _________________
