Hey all

I am looking at buying a new video cardi n april,, jsut a 8800 gts 320 meg. But I was wondering should I wait until ATI comes out with thiers of will thier price be crazy, and really at taht point the 8800 price should probably drop a bit to make it even more attactive to buyers....

I jsut have no idea if I should rush to the 8800 or wait, and I am worried ATI will bump back the new cars AGAIN.

Also any ideas on what 8800 gts to get? I was thinking e-vga...

THANKS!

I was in the same situation as you. Eventually I decided to purchase an 8800 320mb.

Your best bet is to do exactly the same as me, and buy from eVGA, and then, if ATI hits back hard with the R600 (in the next 90 days) use eVGAs step up program to upgrade to the new ATI card.

Hope that helps you.
