I doubt that I am the only one here waiting to get a new gfx card.

Man it is so frustrating to waiting until the new 9600gt to hit the shores and hopeful cause prices to come down (a little) on the others.

Just my rant for the day.

*puts one hand up in the air*
i think its time i checked out the pc gaming scene again. the last game i played (mmorpg's aside) was battlefield 2 and since then i have been consolin...
 
well... i'm just waiting a little wile, dumping my current mobo, will get something else with a 3rd PCIe slot and slapping in a third GFX card - pref the new one to surpass the 8800gt
 
I am waiting for the 9800gtx/gt. I hope hardcocp was right with their road map and it's march/april. I want a new high end card but not a dual one like the 9800gx2.
 
3870X2 （Dual chip on one card) going to be released end of JAN??? And RV770 will be released Second or Third Quarter this year? Claims 50% performance improvement on RV670. First one exceeds my budget, second one will need to wait for a long long time....
 
A flipping 8800GT Extreme costs R3125, I can almost buy a flipping XBox for that cash.
So .. yup .. also waiting .. running 6800GT .. waiting .. patiently ... !cry!

Performance is what matters (and price to some extent) LabAnimal, do you see ATI / AMD being able to pull themselves back from the dwang they find themselves in?

*licks lips* - this card is far sexier!

Looks nice... but its the preformance that counts, I'd rather wait for the Nvidia and then see which one gives me a serious B0ner :D

Duude, seriously, 8800gt SLI setup not good enough? What CAN'T you play at full eye candy!?
 
Only time will tell!. I've never been an AMD fan, When i heard that ATI & AMD merged i lost alot of faith in ATI. I've heard some people mention that they think ATI would go backwards because of this merger. - It has to some extent.

Nvidia is leading the pack, so is Intel!. Have to admit those 9800GX2's are damn good looking!
 
Just ordered ATI Radeon HD3850, 256GDDR3, 256bit, costing R2000, what u think about this card?

My board isnt SLI compatable, its Crossfire Compatable. Secondly, I coulnt find a board that i liked, and not hot for the 680i SLI Boards, nor the newer 700i SLI as they all do DDR2-800 only...

Lastly, I'm not running my FX cards in SLI, I'm running 3 Monitors.

I think it's a good card at a great price but I would have waited till next month when GF 9600gt launches.

I would have gone 8800gt or waited for the new one and saved money in the meantime, otherwise if you're happy - congrats on your new buy :)
