Yes I know its a dumb question because both are outdated anyway.

GameDebate says the GTS would perform better for games but I want some other opinions scince I'm not the most knowlegable person about thigs like these... :p

Eh, wouldn't it be better to buy a relatively new GPU? Both of these are ancient, and probably more expensive than cards several generations newer anyways.

Quaddro cards have a huge price premium as they are used for non-gaming professional applications.

What is your current amount of money you want to spend on it?
Better yet, tell us your current rig in general, because I have a feeling you might be buying a card for a Pentium III or something.

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

I'm still using 8800 gts G92 and it works nice on lower resolutions. But don't expect to play newer games, mostly cause dx10, and be aware of power requirement of 140W and around 20a on 12V. For games its better than quadro but its lame in multimedia. Hope I helped a bit.

Wonder if any of the two can run Skyrim. Yeah thanks its always good to hear fedback from a current user. I mostly need to run Disco, League of Legends, GaR and MC so if I cant run newer games not much of a problem.

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS

however..an iGPU is 3 or 4 times better in benchmarks

so..if you already have a working card dont buy another,instead upgrade your pc,keep the ram buy another motherboard + atleast an i3 processor and the rest will have to figure out by yourself since you didnt gave more details


People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..

To be honest if you bought an i3 the integrated graphics would be superior. Even a Pentium G2030 had some pretty decent Intel integrated for basic stuff. I ran Disco at 1080P for a year on that thing.
