Get yourself a 5850/5870 and call it a day. gtx 470/480 wont be nearly worth the wait.

I honestly don't care what Nvidia comes out with as long as it drops video card prices further on both sides, espcially the DX11 cards.

On a side note, I wonder what they're calling the 8800GT this time... :lol:

Nope. Then again physx is more gimmick than function anyway.

ati has pretty much walked away with market share right now. No way nvidia will be the 5000 series cards now . as soon as they out out there cards all ati has to do is a price drop . heck ati could put out the 6000 series a few months later .

They need to seriously stop making cards like bags of potato chips, every week there's a new one WTF? I feel every six months should be the minimum. Plus they are always way way overpriced.

You can never have too many new technologies. Just make them more practical.

I wonder what Sony and MS will put in next gen. Probably something that is available now (maybe with modifications), as their consoles must be in development already ...

Im not willing to pay $500 for a card when I can get a 5850 for much less and get the same amount of power for it.

Don't forget the dynamic toilet paper physics! It is pretty cool though, just wish more games use it and it didn't rape your FPS so much.

Can't say I am, Crysis is the most demanding game out there.. It runs fine on the GT 200 middle to high cards and the Radeon 4800 series and above..

who cares :S with CPU's being super powerful they are more than enough to handle physics of games out so far, the Physx thing was a daft marketing ploy.

whats the rush? crysis 2 aint here yet. that game will use the dx11 features more than any game. i know that bfbc2 supports dx11 but its minimal at best so people jump on the 5000 series tfrom AMD.

I've jumped ship from Nvidia. I'm tired of paying thrice the price for a product that preforms just as well/barely better than what AMD is offering. Sticking with the 58** and 59** series for a while. Fermi can kiss my ***.

.. What is the point when there is no games out or coming out in the upcoming 6 months to a year that will need a video card.. If you have a 9800 gtx you will run all games incredibly well by today's standards.. a 4850 is extremely cheap and slightly does the 9800 gtx.. There is nearly no point in getting a new video card inless your the type of person that wants the absurdly high settings of above 1080p, 16xaa etc etc..

nah the series 5 hd's are going down in price all the time, the 5670 can be had for 110 or less and its sufficient at playing quite a large range of games released last year and even this year at sufficient fps and resolutions.

I've got a 9800 GT now. I'll buy a DX11 card and put them in SLI, with the 9800 dedicated for PhysX when available.

You can SLI DX11/10 cards, right?!

doing physx on a video card will drop your frames by half. it's most worth it if you have 2 gpus. otherwise you can pick up a standalone physx card for much less than the cost of a 480.

To the people saying Physx adds nothing i can't agree.

After playing Batman with it on (single 8800GT could handle normal physx fine) it added alot to the overall atmosphere of the game and i could not go back and play it without it now. The scarecrow levels blow the mind with Physx set to high.

Displacement of fog and water really is something damn cool, and hopefully by next gen consoles this stuff will be a standard, 10,000 particles will be the norm.

It adds quite abit Cryostasis as well, but i think Metro 2033 is goning to really show off what Physx can do as it will have fluid dynamics.

It might.

But hardware accelerated Physx is locked to nvidia hardware and it doesn't seem Nvidia wants it any other way.

the addition of using physX with your graphics card is not worth the gains since it hinders fps and other such things, its far better to get a dedicated physX card for 30-50 dollars.
