The GeForce 8800 GTS is the little brother of the 8800 GTX, and both are based on the same Nvidia next-generation DirectX 10 GPU. The 8800 GTS is slightly crippled compared to the GTX, but it will still beat powerhouse cards like the dual-GPU 7950 GX2 in many cases. At the price point, this card really brings unheard of performance for the category - it isn't notably slower than it's 640mb 8800 GTS cousin which costs £70 / €120 more.

Best PCI-E Card For ~£270 / €400

The GeForce 8800 GTS is the little brother of the 8800 GTX; both are based on the same Nvidia next-generation DirectX 10 GPU. The 8800 GTS is slightly crippled compared to the GTX, but it will still beat powerhouse cards like the dual-GPU 7950 GX2 in many cases. The biggest downside to the 8800 GTS 640mb is that it's cheaper 320mb cousin offers very close performance for much less scratch.

Best PCI-E Card For ~£360 / €530

The fastest video card in the world - that's exactly what the GeForce 8800 GTX is. It's also the most expensive, but it's no surprise that ultimate performance comes at a price, is it?

In all honesty, the much cheaper 8800 GTS 320mb would probably serve anyone well, but if you've got money to burn, and you will only settle for the best of the best, this is the card for you.
