Let me make a point or two here . .. . .. there.
Everyone is freaking out what a great super deal the new 8800GT is, oh my god the best geek card ever made, it is cool, fast, and cheap
One reason for that = no 9800GTX out yet. If the 9800GTX was here on sale for $500.00 or so, and twice the performance of the 8800GTX, the 8800GT wouldn't look as good as it does today because it is being compared to the $500 8800GTX.
Otherwise the 8800GT would look average, in SLI it would just maybe be a little above half performance of the 9800GTX most likely. Maybe that is why nVidia has not released a 9800 series yet ??
Also my point is the 9800GTX was supposed to be here around now, one year after the 8800GTX release
yep and the only reason I like my zippy mazda is because flying cars havent been released yet... I mean werent we promised those back in the 60-70's?
Those who want the best performance ~$220 can buy. As it stands today, the 8800 GT offers the best all-around performance at its price point.who wants to spent 220 bucks on a card that will force you into medium or high detail - still leaving out the best?
unlike flying cars, nvidia already has that card finished, just waiting for something to compete with it.

$220 has never been the domain of the bleeding edge, not since the days of the original 3Dfx Voodoo and the Riva TNT. The only issue here is that there is not a significantly more powerful card available, which is something that will certainly be resolved within the next three to four months.
you assume
The moment hardforum starts paying us to research previous posted material is the day people who post give a shit about that.
I wasn't aware that looking down the page to the other threads on the same topic is considered "research"
If so I should write a few hypothesi?(sp) etc!!!
[bustin' chops] Source? [\bustin' chops]
Oh just pure supposition on my part. I have no idea but my gut tells me there will be.
haha.. man if you own a 22" LCD and you're trying to play Crysis - that is hilarious. The GTX can't even run it at full detail whatsoever... It also can't run World in Conflict for shit at full detail either... that's definitely not accurate.
I don't believe so either -- I didn't say that it is or that I thought it is.That's assuming you believe it is bleeding edge.
My GTS can play WIC at absolutely full detail with no noticeable slow-downs.
You are totally and completely wrong.
The shear performance of this card with Crysis, is the reason it is selling.
It will run ANYTHING you throw at it. It sells itself.

Let me make a point or two here . .. . .. there.
point taken
It's not even been a year since the 8 series was launched.
How are they 'behind'? This generation is like every other. Halfway through games come out that you can't run at mega resolutions with every thing on ultra detail. This is no different than any other product life cycle.
They aren't behind, you are just impatient.
who wants to spent 220 bucks on a card that will force you into medium or high detail - still leaving out the best?
I do, and I did. I'm sure there's many others who follow as well.
I apologize if the mid-range/ (low) high-end users get to experience comparable gaming performance for half the price of the GTX/Ultra owners.
Even then, most all of the "nex gen" titles released this year do not play acceptable at full detail - Dirt, WIC, Crysis, etc.. Bioshock runs well, but that's the exception, not the rule. I honestly will go as far to say that I've never spent so much money on a previous system in the past, and had such lackluster results in current games of the time. I think the 8800GT is a great bang for the buck, I just think the bang is extremely underpowered for even today's titles. Everyone wants to compare the 8800GT to the GTX.. oh wow what a bargain, blah blah blah.. people.. focus on the purpose... for video cards.... the 8800GT doesn't run current title's at full detail at any respectible frame rates... who wants to spent 220 bucks on a card that will force you into medium or high detail - still leaving out the best?
It not as fast as past systems because you kids want to run games at absurd resolutions.
People need to stop crying, seriously. The 8800gt can run games acceptable at what used to be the defacto high def resolution (1600x1200) with ease. Now you kids are crying because it struggles somewhat at 2560? Give me a break.
man im not talkin about reposting >_> the OP has already made a thread "release high end nv gpus already" with the same topic and another I think in the NV forumBasically, I'm saying the repost police need to give it up, people don't care.

its not reposting, its spamming. and its makes it hard to look around and actually read other threads about different subjects
Alright well that's different, I displayed the same ignorance as the subject of the post then. I was assuming you were saying he didnt browse through the recent posts to see if someone else had had a similiar topic, not that he had a similiar topic.
nah if it was a repost, I'd just link the original thread.
but spamming a few new threads to get attention is really annoying imo
The heatsink and fan on my 8800GT are a joke. The fan as default is on 27%, at this speed it is quiet. On anything higher is sounds like a hair dryer. I wish I stuck with my GTS Really disappointed. Must get a 3rd party cooler. Where's that thread. Bloody hassle.
btw, regardless of the 9800gtx or w/e it may be
the 8800GT looks amazing because it brings 8800GTS640 / 2900XT and higher levels of performance for less then the price of a 320mGTS and just a bit more then an 8600GTS
Quite true, I've never stated that wasn't the case. My only point is with ATi's next card I highly suggest prospective customers to hold off for at least a month. Then they can choose between the 8800GT and the next gen card... and if they choose the 8800GT after all, it will be cheaper. win win.
