GeForce 8800 GTX for 100$ more then a 8800 gts (92) worth it? and is memory a problem at 1900x1200 rez?

[Almost Tactf]

The 8800GTX is still the his res king

Thanks,, I spent about 6 hours reading up on the new cards. (was out of the loop for a bit on them). Anyway I guess ill wait a bit to see what comes out in a month . No one knows how they will stack up to a old time gtx 8800 yet.., (just seems to be a lot of smoke with no hard info yet).

The gt280's will definatively crush 8800gtx's 9800gtx's 9800GX2's and all other cards alike leaving nothing behind but scorched pcie slots.

[Sleepyzone]

wonder if they will crush them for 269$ now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Force+8800+GTX Darn I see even the 9800 gtx's are going down too. Im starting to think it might be worth getting. Because they seem to be selling them out before the 9900 come out and I have a feeling there going to cost 600+ when they do come out. Wish they would leak the price out soon.

Yup no less than around $639-649. when they hit the shelves thats for sure. I can't wait to put my hands on one of those badboys. Time for my 8800GTx to get a rest, he's almost 2 years old, but still going strong!

Yep, I paid 699$ for my BFG ultra one year ago plus $100 for a wc block. I didnt sell my wife for it,, but I wish I did . Anyway Im looking for a second card for my other computer and dont want to pay what I did for my last one. Darn at 260$ im about to push the put in cart icon. Wonder what ati card prices are going to be That and im kinda miffed about the way my card crashed in $$ in just one year

[Iron Monkey]

I have 2 identical computers , only difference is one has sli 8800gtx's and the other has sli 9800gtx's .

After doing hours of 1900x1200 testing , im now gaming on the 8800gtx computer mainly because of the high rez i can run and 500 more meg of memory.

If you look around , you can find them for cheap .

I got my 2nd 8800gtx for 100 bucks used :P

They all do that but , the ultras and gtx's held their value longer than any card ive seen since the 6800gtx .

[Sleepyzone]

Your right. Im going to wait tell the new cards come out. (If I dont have to pay what I did for my ultra that is) Just hope the gtx's are still around by then. There going from in stock to out of stock and back at newegg by the hour it looks. But now I want that car you have on your sig.

lol , right now there is no motor in it but , it will be back in 2 weeks and should make 625-640hp with out the nitrous

[will_raymo2000]

Is there any huge difference between the bugdget 8800GTX and the high grade GTX's? Im looking at some OEM GTX's compared to an XFX one and i'm not seeing much difference..

What car have you got in your sig, and 640hp is insane!!!

Good choice. The only people sticking to their guns on the old G80's are the owners themselves. It'd be foolish to buy one now since better cards are right on the horizion in the next few months. Yes the 8800GTX will finally be laid to rest my friends.

I just got this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814134035 Just couldnt see myself spending the money I spent on my Ultra card ever again. Im going to hold off a year more. That way when the new new junk comes out to replace the new junk this month I wont feel so bad. Then I can just move in and get the new junk at 1/3 the price they are going to be this month
That and by then I should have the wife sold so I can get the 60+ LCD TV, moving that card to my HTPC
