I am thinking about getting one, but I am not too sure yet. I got nvidia 7200 GS lol.

You guys think GTX 280 would be a better choice?

The best choice would be crossfiring 4850s.

Even a 8600GT would be earth shaddering too you coming from a 7200. I wouldnt even waste money on a GTX 260/280. A 8800GT or 8800GTS would be just fine and they still max games besides one Crysis.

I think they've sucked the highend market dry. There's just no reason to upgrade any more. The only people who do it are going from dated machines and those who MUST have the latest hardware (but even those people probably shelled it out for the 8800Ultra or 280GTX). For the rest of us, it just isn't worth $600 to play ONE game (crysis) on higher settings.

I think this card will be worth it a few months from now, but buying it right when it's released seems like a waste.

how long do you guys reckon it will take for a price drop? whats the norm for video cards?Barknip
