Currentaly i have a 8800gts 320mb and a 22 inch monitor and i just played crysis demo and just was blown away by it and my crappy fps on medium even tho it was smooth. u guys think i should sell my 8800gts and get a msi 8800 ultra?
 
no.. wait for the next generation of cards to come out. Upgrading to such an expensive card which gives only a modest improvement in performance when the new technology is only weeks to months away is just throwing money away.

If you can get a good price for it, you could sell your card and get an 8800gt instead, or wait for the refresh of the 8800gts, or just wait for the 9000 series.
 
The GTS will hold you over atleast you can play it, so when we get 8800GTs and see how they perform then no point in going for an Ultra.
 
if only there were a date on the 9800 cards. prob wont be a while since the cards out now are still the best. thats y im thinking of a ultra.
 
i dont think the 9800s would come out any earlier than feb but id think springtime. cuz think about it why would they need a new card if the cards out now are already the best with nothing close to beating them?
 
Hey man if you want a new card get a new card the 8800 gtx is a step up, who knows when the 9800 series will ever come out. If you into overclocking you can try the 8800gt as they are built on 65nm process they may be super overclockable and only $250ish

Might still be a good time to ebay the old card as they are still hott, around 270 selling price or so also have you considered sli?


Evga also has the 90day step up program which is really cool if anything come out in 90 days they will take your purchase price on the hardware and put it to you next card, ie if a 9800xx come out you can put your 499 to that card, just a fyi
