Hey all,

I really need a new graphics card and i want the best! what do you recommend, should i get the GTX 295 or is it worth waiting for the GTX 3XX does anyone know anything about the 3 series GTX cards like release date specs ect?

what do you think???? :)
 
GTX300 won't come along till next year, if you really want to be annoying the mars :P

other than that i would say two GTX275/HD4890

or get a normall GTX295 with that said, if you want the *best*
 
its about equal to or a little faster in some cases, like the HD4890 in crossfire I was only joking about the mars part :p

I throught you was one who just perfers Nvida to AMD
 
well i used to be open to all cards but the ATI in my machine at the moment is causing me so much trouble that im thinking about keeping away from ATI but all im seeing is good things about the HD4890 and they are a great price, i dont really need the card untill september when i go back to uni do you think much will come out b4 then is it worth waiting???
 
Best single card GTX295 but it's still expensive, what resolution do you run at? may as well get a GTX275 or HD 4890 with a non stock cooler in my opinion or wait till september for ATI new releases.

Had just as many Ati cards as Nvidia, but judging from the last few years. . .

Thinking the new Ati cards will run hot like usual, with just as many watts or more with vaccum cleaner sounding normal coolers, about time they looked at all 3 aspects.

I hope I'm totally wrong, wish Ati would look at launching cards with better cooler, why dont they just use IceQ coolers from the start grrrrrr!!!

So what are these new ati cards??

No one know the full specs yet, but its the first generation of DX11 cards and I'm pritty sure for £350 ATI will have something to beat a 295.

Nvidia's new card seems to be around six months behind ATI's so the 295 will probably get discounted into next week to compete until the release of the GTX300 cards.
 
yea thats what im thinking so might wait for the new ati cards then hope they will drop the price of the 295 and get one then when the GTX 3 series comes out get another 295 at a even lower price and sli :D sounds the best plan to me
 
Right 295 it is then il will get another when it comes down in price, are the single PCB ones any better??? and im getting 2 24" monitors the reason i want the graphics power is for mainly rendering more then games and i refuse to pay for a quadro card when i can softmod a gtx card
