Wow.

Re: nvidia 8800 IS OUT!

I know it's cliche to say this whenever a new generation comes out, but these things are the most powerful video cards ever made. I'm talking true 2x performance over the 7900 series. Read the review on [H]ardOCP to see what I mean. They are just unreal. 768 megs of memory?!?!? INSANE!!!

man I got my 6800 Ultra couple of years back and it already feels like a snail in comparison

Re: nvidia 8800 IS OUT!

me thinks me must get one of these. Should I wait till after the Holidays? Maybe prices will drop?

Re: nvidia 8800 IS OUT!

Not likely. Video cards take FOREVER to come down in price.

Re: nvidia 8800 IS OUT!

Well my xfx 7800 GT is still pretty decent. Down the line I'll probably upgrade to the same exact card and bridge it with my MotherBoard and get another 2 gigs of ram. Only thing about my mobo it wont be true 16x or with 2 cards; true 32x, I think only the graphs memory will double.

Re: nvidia 8800 IS OUT!

don't spend the money on a 2nd card
SLI didn't get the expected results according to the money you have to spend for a 2nd card

i would try to get a cheaper 8800gts and would result on nearly 2 times the perfomance of a couple 7800gtx on SLI (sli gives +20% perf on g7 series if you are very lucky )
