The 8800GT is designed to replace the 8800GTS entirely. They're phasing out
the GTS so best to get the GT. As for performance loss its really dependant
on your drivers. The linux drivers are more immature compared to its windows
counterpart so theres gonna be some slow down. I recommend that you make
sure you're using nvidia 169.07 (especially if you get the GT).
