yup. decision made. 8800 GT for me this year. i'm willing to pay a few extra bucks for better performance. nvidia is gonna kill ATI at least when the 9000-series comes out. looks like a winner already to me...

yup. 8800 GTS 640mb for me. after that i'm ready for some mind-expanging Crysis experience

what is this? they are testing DX10 graphics cards with DX9 games. they should've waited for some DX10 games to come out before making this guide.

hg199 you paid way too much.

"My 7800 OC still out performs the 2900.... how is this possible?!?!?!" it's not possible. what do you base this nonsense argument on to? even 7950 GT can't out perform HD2900XT...

ATI's new DX10 line-up sucks, yes, agreed, but so does NVIDIAs, except 8800 series. they both can't even handle today's games, so what's the use of having dx10 support for tomorrows games? HD 2900 XT is good though. it even beats 8800 GTS in many tests, and it costs a little less.

[A Capcom representative told us that the DirectX 10 improvements primarily enhanced performance by up to "10 to 20 percent" through the use of "geometry shaders, depth resolve, and stream output." That means that the Lost Planet demo is only using DirectX 10 to increase performance, not to produce advanced graphics effects. We found that the DirectX 10 version of Lost Planet performed markedly slower when compared to the DirectX 9 version at the exact same settings.] gg...

just remember; there's no SLI test setup for 8800 GTX in this test. single 8800 GTX kicks the *** of ATI's new HD 2900 XT. but then again, ATI's new card is a lot cheaper

i'm gonna go with 7900GS. 140€ used, and enough power 'til dx10 update next summer.
