How is a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300 graphics card better than an 8800?

Question

Or is it better at all? I don't know enough about graphics cards to know. Last I heard, 8800 was about the best you could get, and I've never seen this type for sale.

Answer 1

8800 runs rings around anything below the 9800's.

Answer 2

There's been a lot of grumbling about how the 9xxx series is just

a repackaged Geforce 8xxx.

The 9300 you speak of is a on-board graphics chip. And is supposed to

be released exclusively on Asus notebooks. (supposedly)

Integrated Graphics are usually far inferior to their standalone counterparts. So I wouldn't count on any new games running...

Not running well, at least.

Answer 3

9300 is the bottom end of the 9 generation ; 8800 is the top end of the 8 generation with almost the same power as 9800, the top end of the 9 generation. It's like comparing a Geo Metro to a Hummer.

8800 is almost out of sale , already replaced; buy this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as... , it's unbelievably cheap for it's performance
