Graphics Card Options

[crenn]

Well I'm waiting for the next gen xD

I don't even really need my new graphics card until Crysis, UTIII and Gears of War...

The problem is that I'm going to have to sell my Radeon X1900XTX real soon. I can't sell it for lower than $250 because I won't get enough money. Do you think I'll still be able to sell it for $250 at that point?

Probably not.

You could sell it now, and then use a crap PCI-E card to keep your computer running until you buy the nice one, but you'll end up spending $50 on something you'll sell, and in the end you'll still be losing money. So the choice is up to you. When I buy my GTS I plan on keeping my X1600Pro as a spare if I ever have issues with the GTS and need a quick fix for my computer. But if you want that cash for the new card...

*adds to favorite sellers* check out his items and prices... Items are a little redundant but some pretty sweet deals.

I still say get the 640mb one. Games in a few years will require more powerful cards, so get the best now so you don't spend an assload later on to upgrade and play. Well, if you want to spend the extra cash anyway, but I'd spend $50-100 or so more to save some later on, lol. But that's just me... and if I am, I'll stop repeating myself now, lol.

A few years? Anything computer related a few years old by then will be crap.

So about the next series of graphics cards. What are they? and are they coming within the next 2 months? Should I wait for those?

Thanks,

new cards already??? jeez, i knew they come out fast but at least let the price drop a couple of times on current cards...

On August 30, 2007 the day of November 12, 2007 was announced by a source [11] as the release day for G92 based graphics cards. The same source stated that G98 based cards' release date is still unknown.

[Indybird]

Wow, thanks. I am going to wait for the G92s to come. I think I can wait 2 months.

well pending on prices i might go for one too. right now i'm saving up for ram, cpu, monitor, video card in that order. if the best or near best card falls in the 800 or less range all get it, provided it beats the 8800 cards.

[Indybird]

since the 9800GTS will be around $400 Im definitely going for that. Heres a quick little early specs sheet.

Im liking the looks of that...
