Why oh' why didn't I buy that 8800GT for $208 last week :mad:

I keep hearing people say they will wait for the g92 GTX revision to come out because it's likely it will get an upgrade because the other cards did. I'm a bit skeptical about this because as of now, the GT is supposed to be the alternative for the now old GTS and the "new" GTS is supposed to be...

Woot! Thank the lord I didn't upgrade my 7900GT to the 8800GT so now I can get a better version for the same price ($300) and I can still have 3 full months to wait for a new flagship to upgrade when I need! Thats assuming the new cards do come out within 3 months from December :(

Great, thanks for the replies! I guess I'll go for the Nec then. Thanks again.

Ah thats for the reply, that clears things up a bit. So a better monitor wouldn't necessarily look better in games on paper but depending on the monitor, it would look vibrant, sexy and full of life? Lets say you take a Nec 20wmgx2 (the one I wanted) and you compare it to a cheaper TN model...

Ok, I got a noob question: lets say you have a really nice monitor with outstanding color accuracy and contrast ratio and you have a crappy sub-par monitor right next to each other playing the same video game. Would you notice a difference between the two in terms of color and would the first...

17" is good but im not sure if it'll raise the resolution compared to the other screen sizes. that would take more gpu power and a 7900GTX can only put out so much.

yeah its no problem if youre playing demanding games (below your fps threshold) you wont need vsync. also most LCD monitors are 60 hertz but you can probably find a 70hertz one if you really want but honestly its not a big deal. just enable vsync and 60 fps is fine on any game :)

actually i thinjk he said he didnt play oblivion at 1680x1050 because of his monitor or something but i can handle 1280x1024 with 4xAA with oblivion fine and i have a 7900gt :confused: is 7900gt much of a difference then 7900gs?

So does anyone know for sure if these can work on older mobo's with PCI 1.0?
