comparison

Currently I have a GeForce 8600GT as a video card. I started playing EVE online and it is not that smooth (Apart from the fact that my Windows 7 is starting to become slow so it needs a format).

Now I have these 3 video cards on my mind:

1GB Gainward GF GT240 PCI-Express Video Card
1GB Gainward GF9800GT PCI-Express Video Card
1GB Gainward GF GT240-GS PCI-Express Video Card

I tried comparing them from nvidia's site: HelpMeChoose but the GT240-GS is not available for comparison. However, when I tried comparing the GT240 with the 9800GT, the latter was the winner. You must keep in consideration that the cheapest one is the GT2400. The 9800GT is in the middle, and the one which is not available for comparison, the GT240-GS is the most expensive one (about 6 euros more than the 9800GT).

Is the GT240-GS the best video card from these?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
