Yea but I was secretly hopeing for a huge jump now, because I'm off to Univirsity in September, Unless I take out a loan (not really smart) just to upgrade again I probably wont be in the position to do so for 3 years.

But wel see :P

QFT... my 8800GTS is more than enough to play the lates games from now till 2009.

Nvidia certainly streched their tech so much with the 8 series its no wonder the 9 series isnt much further ahead.

The 8 series is already grossly overpowered anyway.

Guess this means my 8800Gt will last a while longer.

agreed, my 8800 only has trouble with crysis, but its still playable on high and i finished the campaign already, so no need to upgrade for that.

the 9800 is not a huge leap in terms of performance, the 9600 on the other hand is way better than the 8600, even the GTS, thats the real affordable powerhouse, i guess pc gaming is getting cheaper and cheaperthegoldenpoo

It's a strange trend: PC hardware prices are lower than before, yet with each new gen of consoles get more expensive each generation.

And it's strange because console hardware is dependent on PC hardware.

Sweet, this means that the cost of upgrading to a high-end PC will be even cheaper than the current $600 - $800. :D

Still means I have to pay about RM2500 though!:evil:

I need to overhaul EVERYTHING. CPU, Processor, Video Card, HDD, PSU, etc.

That does include a motherboard - I haven't got a PCIe slot.

Hopefully ATI comes out with a killer card and gets nVidia off its ass,Wartzay

the 9600gt is a lot better than the 8600gt when it came out at the same pricedarkmagician06

Sorry , I don't speak geek.turgore

On a whole PC games havent gotten much more demanding in the last few years. Besides Crysis.

So many games are built around 2 year old tech. Console popularity is actually helping pc gamers hardware last longer. Stalker Clear Sky in dx10 mode should give the 8800's a challenge.

600$ ??????????

No thanks, i will wait for xbox720, and skill those cards, that will be obsolete in 6 months

Ready to LOL at the casual crap.

By that standard, isn't the 360 obsolute considering it's GPU rivals the 7 series :s ? Do you know what obsolete even means?

Actually, since the 360 is still being directly supported with new games tailored to its hardware it is anything but obsolete. Whereas the 7 series of Nvidea's cards are not OBSOLETE, but they sure ain't useful anymore.

Do you know anything about PCs, or are you just another fanboy pretending they know what they are talking about? Please explain how a 7 series isn't "useful anymore"... Here is a hint, my brother plays COD4 on a 6 series nvidia card.

yeah, the 6 series is still decent enough to play games. I may be gaming on a 8800GT at the moment, but my 6600GT still plays most (if not all) games currently available.
