Is it worth it to go GTX or GTS (G92)?

Yeah, and also make sure you get EVGA. If you register, you can be eligible for the step up plan, and the 9800 gx2, 9800gt, and 9800gtx are right around the corner. (The step up plan lets you send in your card, and pay the difference between what you paid and what the new card costs.) However, the 9800's are still based on the g92 I believe, so theyre not going to have breakthrough performance like the 8 series did over the 7 (that is, if speculation is correct.)

But either way, if the 8800gtx is in your budget, you can probably just get an 8800gts 512MB, then step up to a 9800gx2 (comes out this month I think) which is supposed to be 30% faster than the 8800ultra.

I was looking into that program as well and had some questions on it. What can i say , ima girl we look for bargains :P

Seriously though , If i wait to buy the card from eVGA till they announce the 9 series coming will the step up program still apply? And if it does canI return the new 9 series after stepping up Un-opened within 30 days for a Money refund? I ask cause i dont really like eVGA.

So , basically I'll have a 8 series i can use for a bit then step up , not open the new 9 series , get a full refund then buy the Brand i want.
