and im not worried about these new cards at all, prices are just so outta my league that i tend to ignore them and stay looking at things like the 6800GT which will be hella cheap when these new ones come out....

how much do you think the 6800GT will cost by then??
and will it play games like maplestory, counter-strike, and steam games?

Talk about old threads :p The 6800 costs $48 on Newegg, but they're old and not too good.

I don't remember exactly, it was probably more like $600, but still video card prices become so cheap within a few years.
