Quite obvious....

NEITHER!

Get 8800GT,almost all of the GTX'es performance for like around half the price.

But if you can't get 8800GT,by all means get the 8800GTX.

That wasn't his question.

Go with the GTX if you can. 9 out of 10 dentists recommend it.

Side note: You wont max out new games with either of those GPUs on a 1080i resolution.
