well its goign to be my birthday in 2months and my dad said i could get a new video card, but im stuck on either gettn a 8800gtx, 8800gts or 8800gt all from xfx . ive looked at em and there all pretty similar, but dno which one to get. i have $500 +/- limit. please post some reasons why X card is better then Y card :D
 
Umm, I believe sometime in Feb, the 9 series is being released. Best bet would be to keep that $500 till then, and see what the new cards have up their sleeve.
 
if the above is true, then i'd wait, otherwise...might as well get the GTX..or if you want to have some pocket money, a 512mb 8800GTS.

the 8800GTX outperforms all of them...but the 8800GTS(512mb version) isn't that far off...and the 8800GT not far off the GTS...it depends on how much you want to spend. The 8800GTX is best of all 3.


In terms of the 9 series, there isn't much info about it at the moment. Some speculate it to be released next spring...so you're better off just buying a card now in my opinion

Get an 8800GTX from EVGA, the stock one (You can OC) for about $550. Then use the step up program to get a 9 series in Feb :)
 
yeah i noe the 9 series is comming out next year sometimes near feb, hehe price drop i hope. EVGA? i thought XFX is the best video card brand
 
best, better, #1, how do you gauge these things, lol? EVGA is known for using quality components, having a terrific customer/tech service, and above all else, they are known for the exclusive "step-up" deal. Buy any card from them, and anytime, within 90 days, you are allowed to trade this card for full credit towards any other card. Ka-ching.
 
Yep, EVGA ftw. (I've never had a problem, so I haven't used customer service. That probably is because of their quality components though :P)
 
hmm right, but i dont plan to buy my card over the net or use there customer server haha =/ my dad dont trust buying stuff over net. i live in AUS aswell
