XFX bringt GeForce 8800 GT mit 256 MB

Wie wir soeben erfahren haben, wird XFX in Kürze eine 256 MB Version der GeForce 8800 GT auf den Markt bringen (Unser Test der XFX GeForce 8800 GT XXX).

Wer noch mit 1280x1024 Auflösung spielt und auf HD Gaming verzichten kann, für den könnte diese Karte hoch interessant werden, denn von den 512 MB Speicher profitiert man vor allem bei Antialiasing und hohen Auflösungen.

Die 256 MB Version der GeForce 8800 GT ist dafür um einiges günstiger. Der Preis liegt bei nur 149 Euro ohne MwSt. Man kann also in Deutschland von einem Preis um die 170-180 Euro ausgehen, wobei die Tendenz dort sicherlich eher nach unten geht, denn auch die 512 MB Karten der GeForce 8800 GT werden bereits günstiger.
