I was wondering if there was a set date or a general time when the Nvidia cards were going to drop in price due to the 7900 series being released. I'm asking because I've been waiting it out to get a new video card forever and a day now. I have a P4 2.66 ghz with an Asus P4C800 Deluxe Mobo, and (drum roll please) an FX 5200 64 mb. Now, you should be feeling my pain right about now.
I want to squeeze more life out of my computer, considering I only go the CPU and mobo about 2 1/2 years ago or so. I was considering an AGP 6600 GT, 6800 GS, 7800 GS (if price drops). Also, if you think there are better equivalants for Ati, let me know. I'm not a Nvidia fanboy, but all more of my knowledge lies in Nvidia, due to the fact that I've always had Nvidia cards.
The main thing I need to know is if I should go ahead and upgrade (if so, what card) or wait for a decent price drop (if there is one anytime soon). I was also wanting to know which range of cards my CPU would start to bottleneck with. I was considering possibly getting a cheap PCI mobo that'd be compatible with my P4 and getting a 7900 GT.
Let me know what you think. I'd greatly appreciate any and all the information I can get. Thanks.
