Hello,
Having seen Scans today only for the weekend i'm mighty tempted in the xfx 8800gtx. I've currently got a 7800gt which is about a year old. Play mostly wow and counter strike.
Question is is there something in the immediate pipeline that will cause these prices to drop very soon? Are Nvidia unleashing a new chipset soon? ie before christmas?
currently running a opty 152 at stock with 2GB ram
WoW and CS are overkill for that card unless you have a large monitor.
22" Wide-screen minimum to utilise the power.
i'm on 20" WS dell. This is obviously for the next 12-24 months as well so hoping it'll cope with future game releases.
It'll certainly last you 2 years+ with that monitor then :)
I can't see any big price drops for a while, nVidia are ruling the roost and have no need to drop prices and ATI seem to have missed the boat.
The 2 combined means no sizeable drops for quite a while IMO.
Enjoy WoW with everything set to max, I run at 2560x1600 completely maxed-out @ 60FPS, and it looks gorgeous :)
22" and 20" widescreesn have the same resolution
Aye that's what I was thinking,Quote:

I wish I'd bought a GTX instead of the GTS.
