sorry for a lame question, but is it normal for the high end card to come out first, and then the midrange cards?
Makes it so confusing to people like me who are only looking at hardware when they NEED to upgrade, and see all these numbers, and figure the 8600 is simply an older card than the 8800's
it'd be so much easier for idiots like me if they kept the same 8800 model number, and simply changed the suffix to like gte for economy or something.
looks promising, tho, i don't know if i can wing $600 for a gtx anytime soon, and my x1300pro has gotta go sooner than later, i scored a 2300 on pcmark06
