Just got my new GTX 9800 Graphics Card! This baby runs CoD4, Crysis, and Assasins Creed no problem on full graphics.. Id say im prepared for Starcraft 2. I got it for just 200$ off of Newegg in a package with CoD4. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150292
those things look pretty sexy...dam.. im getting a new computer at the end of this year, so im probably gna get that graphics card.
So you say: Is this all at the same time? lol nah just jokes... Congratulations on the new card and yes, I am drooling. I has a mop besides me!
I got my radeon hd2600 pro earlier this year and It runs all games perfect. I will stick with mine for now. Maybe when I upgrade to a pcie mobo i will get a new ****ing nvidea card.
I'll save all of my drool for the machine I will have the money for in a month or so -Core 2 Duo E8500 overclocked to 4GHz -4 gigs (2gb x 2) Corsair XMS2 RAM -GTX 280 (1gb) -nForce 780i mobo (supports three-way SLI for future GTX 280 stacking) -1.07 TB of HDD space (750gb + 320gb) Starcraft 2 doesn't stand a chance.
According to the benchmarks, the difference isn't all that big for now. Supposedly the gap between 8000 and gtx 200 architecture will be taken advantage of in the future, but for now it's not really worth the pricetag. I just splurged on the 280 because it's the first time in my life where I actually have an excess of cash.
