I'm just wondering this
I'm going to buy a 8800 gt in 2 days around but there are two kinds of 8800 gt
8880gt 512mb nd
8800gt 1024mb
so I want to know if there is a big difference between the one with 512mb and the one with 1024mb ?
This is a discussion on 8880gt within the Tech Support forums, part of the Knight Online (ko4life.com) category; I'm just wondering this

1024 would be better imo, depends what other kind of stuff u got in there ^_^
I'm guessing its 1024mb of ddr2 and the other is 512 ddr3?
Find the card on newegg/tiger so we can look at the benchmarks

Get the 1024 card.
Specs are basically the same, and since theres minor benefits from ddr3 to ddr2, it would be better to take that card.
If your playing with resolution higher than 1600x1200(24" screen or higher) then go for the 1024 card, if your playing with less (22" screen or smaller) then go with the 512 card, you wont notice any diffrence at all at lower resolutions
There are 9600gt's out now too.
Might get one next payday ^^
i'd go for the 1024 since its not a big dif in $.
found this on another forumThere are 9600gt's out now too.

on english means "a 8800 gt is more powerful than a 9600 gt but not for much"una 8800 GT sigue siendo mas potente que una 9600GT pero no por mucho,[/b]
found this on a english forum h34r:
other people says :NV claimed that 9600GT have a new data comparison tech, performance under AA/AF will be good. But when we compare the card with 8800GT we can not notice the difference. We guess that’s may be another driver improvments.
9600GT’s performance is 5%~23% less than 8800GT. 13.44% less averagely. Considering 9600GT is 180USD, 20% less than the 230USD 8800GT, it got a good price/performance ratio.[/b]
"between a nvidia 8800 gt 512 and 1024mb isn't a big difference, only a little difference if you gonna play on high resulutions like 1920x1200 and it gives like 5 fps more only"
so I will buy a 8800 gt 512mb I think =X
I will say one thing, Don't buy it off ebay.
bad experience?I will say one thing, Don't buy it off ebay.[/b]
you haven't seen the "its cheaper on ebay for a reason" picture?
or that pic where some1 bid like 200$ for a psp BOX
i have a 8800gt 512 and it runs EVERYTHING at maxed settings. i dont have a huge monitor though, resolution doesn't go higher than 1440x900
i have 8800GT 256mb and is enought to run most of games on high details at 1280x960:P
more ram on vga is needed for 1280x960 + iheard so i dont need it coz my lcd max is 1280x1024
If you want to know for real => google
If you want some decent info about the diffrence between a GT 8800 with 256/512/1024 mb

So my personal opinion would be:8800GT 1Gb vs 512mb vs 256mb Review
In our test, we want to show you which memory size is suitable for 8800GT. So in the test we have three
8800GT. One is Leadtek PX8800GT 256MB, Inno Geforce 8800GT 512MB and GainWard 8800GT 1024MB.
Because GainWard 8800GT 1024MB is a factory Overclocked version, we flashed its BIOS, lower the
frequency to 600/1800/1500MHz(Core/Memory/Shader).

Go for the 8800GT 512mb cause seeing you only have a resolution of 1280 x 1024 which means that
at allmost every test they did with there games (which ask a good graphic card and good performance)
the 512 is either higher/equal to the 1024mb (some realllyyy less but allmost nothing).
So 8800GT 512mb would be perfect for your pc
i didnt had enoguht cash for 512 :P
but gigabyte 8800gt is enought for me zelman fan is fukin noisy^^
