    The 8800 Ultras are meant to be beasts. Worth checking them out.

    It would definitely yes.

    I think Gray1 is leading you in the wrong direction fella. You can wait for new stuff forever.

    BTW...Crysis isnt going to be any better than FarCry anyway from what i have seen.

    FarCry looked stunning but the game play was rubbish and the Multiplayer was one of the poorest i have come across.

    They are yeh!
    Also, they will eat the next gen ATI card from some of the 'benchies' that have been floating around.
    ATI really missed the boat this time and i think Nvidia will rain supreme for this year at least.

    (Their new cards are supposed to be both loud and hot aswell).

    Always seems a strange concept to me, particularly when info is common knowledge, the only unknown is the pricing.

    I appreciate though that retailers have to follow restrictions imposed by manufacturers even though they seem a little cranky.
