Hello Gents,
I am in the market for a new graphics card shortly to replace my trusty 7900GT once crysis is released and MOH:A and for Vista/DX10.
Now I am only gaming at 1400x900 (at the moment) but do love my eye candy being turned up but a major requirement for me is that it lasts for 2-3 years as my gf and I are getting married shortly and having some work done to our house so its going to need to last me.
I was thinking of either a 640MB 8800GTS or 8800GTX if the prices are right. I can get an EVGA 8800GTS 640MB for £235 or an 8800GTX for £291 (with 1yr warranty.) Ideally I would like an extended warranty if I am keeping it for that long.
Are the 8800 Series due a price drop any time soon as in reality I would buy a 8800GTS once they fall below £200 or if I could get a GTX for £250 or under. Will this happen once the new stuff is released? I would like to try and get this sorted before christmas if possible.
Would the AMD 2900XT be a better bet perhaps? I don't think we will see a price drop any time soon however with them being released not that long ago. I would only really be able to afford the 512MB card. My thinking is that, that might not be enough in a year or two to come.
Thanks
