So Frustrated with 4890's Availability

[smokinu]

Well hello again all,

I jsut recently ordered all my parts for my new pc build and unknown to me the video card that I selected (one of the new OC 4890's from MSI) wont be available untill the 24th of August, which is holding up my whole order. So I had them cancel the video card. Then today I read where the new DX11 cards may be out on Sep 10th.... So was this fate stepping in and saving me from spend $$$ on a card that in less than a month could drop alot in price??? Who knows... But that leaves me with a question for you all.

Currently I have a 8600 GPU that um well blows BUT I was considering waiting untill the new cards come out and the old ones drop in price since it may be a lil sooner than a month away. Or whoudl I just say to heck with it and order now. lol

For some reason this is the 3rd time I have ordered a 4890 to have issues with availability or after order I get a call saying sorry we are out of that certain model. How would you feel about this? Could it be that a 4890 is not ment to be for me and perhaps Nvidia is calling me. (too bad the green dont look good with my red/black theme rofl

i doubt they will be twice as fast unless we are talking " Flagship" cards.....

Ya thats what i meant. 9800x2=gtx280. Cant wait for next gen cards, sadly dont have money saved up. =/

Yea, well im not worried since I wont be purchasing any new cards soon, Im thinking more towards gettin a second 260 later on and maybe trade up for one of the next-gen cards down the road

Would be nice to see a comparison chart between the cards that we use now vs. next-gen cards....

Both specs and bench numbers would be nice......
