Simple question really:
Should I go with my intended 2 x X1950 Pro's in Crossfire or:

Get 1 8800, or

Wait for ATI's DX10 offering?

I've got 1 X1950 Pro in and working but I can send the unused one back.
 
Single 8 series card will decimate 2x x1950pro's in crossfire, and thats in Dx9, Dx10 is just an added bonus, get the 8800. :)

send the unused one back and get a refund, then save up for r600 release and see what ATi have to offer and check the prices of the 8800 aswell at that time...
a x1950pro will hold you until then...
 
We've got a lot of cards coming out soon. R600, R610 and R630 from ATI and the 8800GTS Rev. 2, 8600Ultra and 8600GT from Nvidia.

I would hang on for a bit, save up, and see what takes your fancy. They will all be DirectX 10 too.
 
If you must have a card now, then it has to be a GTS or GTX.

If you are prepared to wait, then it might be a good idea to see where the dust settles after the March/April launches.
 
Think I'll hang on to the one X1950, seems to play NFS Carbon fine.
I'm reading with interest about using a second card as a physics card, so if this is possible I may keep the X1950 for that purpose whin the new ATI DX10 cards come out.

I don't have a clue personally, but from what I see floating around on this board I'm guessing it will be March/April.
 
im waiting for ati's shot at a dx10 card and if its as good as they say its gonna be then the 8800 stands no chance at the ati r600 core.

allso i just got my conroe rig and a crossfire board so im hoping the ati dx10 card will be best of the best. and cross fire two of them ;)
