Sort of. I "upgraded" to an 8800GTS 512 and gave my GT to my dad. It was well worth it, because the GTS is a bit faster and OCs farther which widens the gap some more, and the GT was an EVGA factory-OCed model that crashed in some games and produced artifacts in others. It also made an annoying high-pitched whining noise when stressed. My dad's happy with the GT because his 19"@native requires much less GPU than my 26"@native, so he never has to push the thing or hears the horrible whine.
I've owned many EVGA cards over the past few years, and the 8800GT SSC was the first piece of shit I encountered.
EDIT: I have been considering upgrading since I played Crysis and Call of Juarez in DX10. The GTS can easily do highest settings on both in DX9 (max DX9 in Crysis is High), but they both look so much better in DX10...which of course is impossible to do at max settings at native res. However, from what I've read, the new cards will still not allow me to run them maxed at native...right?
