Buying these hyped up late variants on an exisiting card is never that good of an idea. It's bragging rights for a few months and then the nex-gen card comes out a pounds the crap out of it and everything else. I don't care if it's overclocked, water-cooled, or whatever. Video card technology moves too quickly to splurge like that. If you have that kind of money to blow, buy a stripped 7xxx series card and use the money leftover to get another card in 6 months that'll smoke even the most jacked-up card of the previous generation. |

If you were waiting for this card and want to fork out the $$$, go for it. The people who buy these cards do it because they have to have the latest. That, my friend, will never change. I'll be first in line to buy this card. |

It's true...there's no changing minds, but my GeForce 8xxx will be 70% faster than that and cheaper when it's released in the spring. |

...oh, well, I guess you take PC gaming more serious than I do! I tend to go with the "every 2 years" timefram typically. Whatever equates to 3 generations. Right now with both companies trying the ultra-worthless SLI thing again, I'm avoiding this generation. We need single-card solutions, not kludgy multicard set-ups that are retarded in retrospect. |

Well you remember the Voodoo1 which would run GLQuake at 30 fps at 640x480x16? And a single Voodoo2 would run Quake2 at xx fps at was res? And SLI Voodoo2 would run Quake2 at 60 fps at 1024x768x16? |
