I've picked and ordered all the parts for my new computer except the video card since I was wondering if there will be a better alternative with the new ATI DX10 cards or if the prices will get slashed on the geforce 8's. anyone know? thx in advance

The ATI cards are supposed to be out Tuesday, if it isn't a no-stock paper launch. NDAs will be lifted on reputable review sites like AnandTech so you can compare performance.

Once they're out a couple of weeks there may be an nvidia price drop.

We'll know details on Monday/Tuesday. Until then, I'd delay purchasing a video card. After official information and numbers become available, then a reliable decision can be reached.

Yeah I noticed that newegg has started dropping prices of their 8800gts cards. I'm hoping that the new ati cards hit the ground running so the prices for the nvidia cards will drop even more. I want an 8800 series card but not at their current prices.
