Well done m8
Worth it IMHO. New generation is indeed coming out soon, however prices of current generation cards have stabilised for a couple of weeks now, In all honesty I'll be suprised if they fall much lower.
9800Pro will happily run anything out there. Nuff 'said
Congrats mate, my ati built one arrived from scan this morning
its worth it
Which one did you get? where from?
he got same as you Stevey
GOOD PLAN TUMBLE![]()

And yes I'm well aware the new generation cards are out soon... but how long have 9800 pros been out? and I can only just afford one now.... figured this would be the biggest bang for the least dollar, and it'll kepp me going for a while I'd imagine.. my 32MB GeForce2 lasted me years![]()

I don't think waiting makes much difference... only if you wait long enough could you have considered a mid range new generation card rather than the 9800pro. Good card and great performance for the price.
blummin nora.....it's been despatched already

just wondering: where did you get it from, and for how much?
Ordered mine from lowest on wednesday, and it only got despatched today, even after paying a tenner extra for "24 hour" delivery - admittedly from despatch date, but if I'm paying a tenner I don't expect to have to wait til bliddy monday - especially when I haven't got a PC in the interim time :-(
What's all this 'you should have waited, they'll be cheaper in 9 years time' stuff? Everything will be cheaper if you leave it for a while... everything.
What are we all supposed to do, sit there with crapo graphics cards, because there's never a time worth buying one?
How about buying one, enjoying it, and just accepting that the prices of computer items will always come down, as new and better stuff is released.
Enjoy Tumble.![]()
Tumble has a good un thenOriginally Posted by Zak33
I spoke to scan yesterday and apparently they have bought this lastest shipment direct from ati. They have had hundreds on back order- users and also for a load of scan xs systems they were waiting to finish. Best news is... r360 core
you could flash it to xtthat would be too fast
oohhh calm down dear![]()
precisely why I've waited until now to get one... cos tbh.. you stay one, maybe 2 steps behind the current "Best Thing" and it'll always be cheaper for you, and you still get a kick-ass system... I only got a 1 GHz + CPU last yearOriginally Posted by Vaul
