A poll to help me decide.

Having recently changed my monitor to a Dell 3007WFP-HC I have noticed in a few games a little bit of chugging.

I plan to change my OS from XP64 to Vista 64 this week s most of the driver problems that I might face seem to have been ironed out, they can't get much worse than XP64 though.

So the question is do I go for another 8800GTX or shall I wait for a bit.


PS my system rig profile is up to date except for the monitors.

What resolution do you want to play games at?

Its price will drop very sharply soon to compete with the x2600s...
I would definitely wait...

Makes sense, the GTS cards have already dropped quite a lot, guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.

SLI in Vista? :laugh:

It's bad enough in XP; nvm Vista.

If you have money to burn, sure, why not.

But i personally wouldn't.

Hmmmm, SLI in Vista is pretty iffy right now. For me, my second 8800GTX is mostly gathering dust and filling two slots I could use for something else.

In the new DX10 version of Company of Heroes, SLI is not even supported. I'd wait a bit since prices are sure to drop and theres a real need to improve running SLI under Vista.

Thanks for the insight on that.

I've made my mind up and will not get the second card just yet.
