will there be a 9800 ultra?

[omghaxcode]

I was thinking about making a high end machine with either sli 9800gtx or 3x sli 9800 but I don't want it to choke crysis level games on high. what is next for video cards and when (approx of course) will it be released? will they come out with a higher memory 9800 gtx?

No, they won't. Just hold on a month or so until the next generation will see the light of day and then Crysis will be playable on high, even on just one card ( at least I hope so ).

Knowing Nvidia, they'll probably launch a 9800U, which would be identical to the 9800GTX, but with higher clocks and an additional 300 dollars on the price tag.

I hope not...

if you're about to buy new top dollar gfx cards for the pc, I would wait about another 60 days to see what pops up with 4870 & 9900

that is the kind of tip I was looking for jared, thanks! I know waiting will always get you better hardware but I don't really need it now since there aren't many games I'm too interested in. I hate settling too.

make sure you get a top dollar c2d/c2q and tri-sli nvidia board... 790i Ultra if you have the cash.

edit: unless a 4870x2 CrossfireX ends up being the top-dog... which i doubt.

There could be 9800 ultra. It would be hard to believe that Geforce 9800 GT will be the only card using G92b-core.
