Should have minor performance increments due to the bumped up clocks. And even then it'd be a better deal (if their were no improvements) simply because of the power consumption and heat dissipation on the 8800gtx, something that I'm thoroughly annoyed with on my card.

And btw the details on the net are mostly crap IMO. Why go with 512 MB of RAM, and why 256 bit I may ask. Why take backward steps? We want 384 bit GDDR3, and we want it at a minimum of 1.8 GHz and we demand at least 768 MB of it. A core speed of 675 MHz this time...C'mon Crysis, do your worst...
