8800gtx actually offers pretty good value

Perhaps its the sadist in me, but I feel its a pity that GeForce 8 and playstation 3 don't launch the same day. I'd love to see which causes the bigger bunfight over who gets to take a PS3 or GF 8 home or not

Think of it this way. PC fanboys will already have their hands on the fastest graphics tech on the planet, while a select few people will get their PS3s in a few weeks and the rest will fight over massively-inflated prices althroughout the Christmas and januray shopping seasons.

I want to start seeing some 8800GTS numbers. If it's faster than a 7950GX2 then its a good deal. If its slower, then forget about it.

In another thread linked to that one, someone was able to overclock the GTS to 658/1002:

Wow. Looks like I'll be getting a 8800GTS tomorrow. =)

It really doesn't. If we had Vista and DX10 games out to where the card could be used for next gen performance, then you have a point.

By the time DX10 and vista roll around there will already be a refresh and the R600 out. I'll check back then. Until then, for the games I'm playing my x1900xtx does the job.

terrible logic...it blows away everything in DX9 apps as well from what we have seen so far, if you always wait for the next best thing to come out you will never buy a card
