Im in the market for a new video card since my ti4200 quit out on me a couple weeks ago and ive been using a tnt2 right now and im getting sick of it

im looking at either a 9700 or a 9500 pro or non for both cards. do you think these will drop since nvidia is coming out with their new card soon or that ati just came out with the 9800. i don't feel like buying now only to have them drop in a week. thanks for the help

once nvidia increases production, ATI should drop prices. but i would think that is still 1/2 months off.

I'm not buying another videocard until I can get a 9800Pro or GeForce5900U for under $200. I'm tired of my videocard being the most expensive and least responsive piece of equipment in my box. I'd rather have a $400CPU and a $200GPU instead of the opposite.

Besides, a GF4-Ti4600 with a P4 3.06 with Hyper-Threading is a match made in gamer heaven. :p
