9800 pros and upcoming games.

Hah, another years wait would probably cause me to kill myself... maybe.

I have been mulling over the situation i am facing for a day or so. And decided that i should best sit on the situation until there are proper, full game benchmarks of Doom3 and HL2, i imagine the Doom3 will be more of a killer on graphics. So depending on where the 9800pro scores on that front will probably direct me as to where to go and what to spend.

I dont want to spend more than £150 on a card, so it really looks like 9800pro.

Yeah, I say wait till the games come out.. Only takes a day to get a card afterall.

Now im actually coming round to buying this and no-one seems to have anything other than sapphire, the crap about 128bit etc kinda put me off them.. Ebuyer has very few 9800 pro 128mb and microdirect are out of stock on the connect 3d ones.. Anyone spotted any about?

Good cards and the free delivery is normally next day. Done two upgrades with these and scored 17000 3d2001 5500 3d2003 stock with 12x200 xp-m CPU.

Are those guys reliable do you know / good for RMAin stuff..

Dunno about returns but I should think they would offer pretty good customer services as a division of Evesham PC's. Only 762 left so you don't have to rush into anything just yet.

Just a lurker but it seems we can't wait for the new video cards to appear
B/4 the games are out.
