I'm looking and the 8800gt and the 9600gt cards and I plan to play games like RTS games and maybe a FPS or 2. Like the C&C 3 FPS game what ever that is going to be called. I'll probable end up gettting that game once it comes out but I'll mainly stick with rts games like sc.
Right at the moment I have a wireless adaptor that is how I get on to the internet and it is 27' away so I'm trying to figure out how to boost the signal so that I can watch trailers better and I may playonline again if not then I may have to get a router my self but that would deffeat the purpose.
I would recommend getting either 2 8800 GTs (512mb) or getting 1 8800 GTS (512mb) if that helps at all
Any chance anyone knows how long it is? I saw someone on Newegg mention that its a big card, and I can't seem to find the length anywhere.
Edit: N/m Found it 9"
Edit 2: What a downer, i thought for sure I had a 600w power supply, turns out it's only 450.
The card AND the power supply will prob heat this computer like crazy and Ill need to to tons of cooling work on it.
Wait for the 9800GTX to come out, since its supposed to be around $300. That could present a couple options for you:
1) 9800GTX turns out to be a great performer and at the $300-level would be a good investment.
2) 9800GTX flops but its closeness in price to the 8800GTS results in a price drop for the 8800GTS, in which case you grab one of those.
lol if you think the command and conquer series is first person shooter then you know jack all about gamesits probably the best rts out there.
