new grpahics card help

[OpenToSuggestions]

following a previous thread title with the same name a few weeks back....

Thinking of picking this up today.

as it will run on my psu ok and is very good value for money.

The 9800gtx is a duff release right?
If I do get the 8800gts, when will the 'real' next gen cards appear?

Is the 8800gts going to drop in price next week when ocuk stocks the 9800 series??

Thanks

EDIT:apologies for the spelling in the title if a mod could correct it

Wait until I get my crystal ball out and guess your PSU specs .

We'll need your PSU model and 12v rail/rails amps.

its the 450w one from a sonata2, its fine (mate has one with a gts and 5 hard drives)
Just have a few questions on the card prior to purchase

Sorry I quickly read your post and thought you said "will it run on my PSU" . Oops, sorry .

I think the GTS might drop a few quid in the upcoming weeks but nothing major as the 9 series cards are going to be dear in comparison.

With the 9800GTX looking to be the 8800GTS overclocked as in power then it looks to be a duff release but I can't say for sure it's this or that as the only leaked benches was from a tainted review site that no one is accepting as they got caught out before.

It could be around summer or just the beginning of autumn for the new cards to appear. I'm not 100% on that.

I dont think I can cope with my x1800 till then

I heard the next gen cards could be seen by the end of June.

Personally I'd pick up a cheap 8800GT 512MB to last you over til the next gen cards are out.I have an 8800GT which can play crysis on mostly very high some high at 1680x1050 (no AA, but tbh you don't really need it in crysis at that res imo). I was initially going to hold out til the 9800GTX came out, but obviously they are not much of a step up from the G92 GTS cards, which was somewhat disappointing to say the least.

same. i think nvidia will loose many fanboys after the 9800 release
