So do any of you have one of these beasts yet? I have gotten to the point of meltdown with my 8600 now so I'm really considering going for the 9800GTX.

Just want your opinions on it :) ...and If any of you can hook me up with a sick deal hit me up ;)

check out prophecy.co.za

they have one for 3999

if thats out of your budget you could always go for 8800gt 9600gt both solid good performing cards and they will make that 8600 look 5 years old :)

gaming at 1680 x 1050 on 8600 ahhhhhhhhhhh i would blow my mind haha

The 9800GTX ia hardly faster than a G92 8800GTS 512MB
Its also quite a bit more expensive, I personally would go in the dir of the 8800GTS. In general it also OC's better too.

lol Crysis on a 6600 AGP :D
800x600 all low and played at about 20fps was not too bad IMO tried some medium settings but PC would just reset :p

Still went from 6600AGP to G31 intergrated graphics :mad: can only play GTA:SA at 800x600 lowest settings!
probably going to pop a 8600GT in at a later stage, don't care much anymore for Graphics, it's all about playablity :)
