Based on the G94 GPU, it's designed to hit a mainstream pricepoint of around £120 - will the retailers meet that price and, more importantly, will it perform well enough against some stiff competition?... seems pretty promising, comes close to the 8800GT in performance. For the money, it should be a good contender. Can’t wait to see the 9800 GT ---

This battle between ATI/Nvidia is great for us,card performance goes up and prices get lower and lower. :tspry:,both companies have a great line of cards out right now with affordable prices. ---

Yeah, until Intel runs AMD/ATi into the ground. Tis a shame too. When I started building comps AMD was the way to go, so I’m kinda partial to them. ---

> [@Cavi Mike](#): > > If AMD ever gets their quad core out I might build a new computer with a 9 series card. phenom is out already. Comparable to intels q6600. Slightly cheaper, and with that comes slightly lesser results. But yea…I wish the competition was a bit closer than it is. Intel’s 45nm cpus are amazingly overclockable, and nvidias 9 series is right around the corner. Well sure the 9600 is here, and the 9800 gx2 (aka just another 7950gx2 - gimmick) is coming out the 11th or march, the real cards 9800gtx, gts, gt will be out shortly after. Nvidia would be forced to get alot of their issues straight if ati was breathing down their neck. too bad… ---

I’d actually consider the GX2 especially since I don’t have an SLi mobo, but it’s using the GPU’s from the 8 series :tdown: Don’t know why they chose to go that route, but it’s supposed to be around 25% faster than the current 8800 ultra I believe so as long as the price is right, it doesn’t seem like too bad of a card will probably wait for the 9800 GT though ---

Actually AMD is just fine with this card. Unless you’re running 4xAA in game the AMD card is better bang for your buck. Turn on AA and you’re going to want the 9600. I’ve never owned an NVIDIA card… but I may end up with some 8800GTs in the future here. ---

I’ve been an nvidia guy since the days of the TNT2 Ultra, but I really don’t care much about the new low end card (although now my 7950GT that I want to sell is worth even less). When they bring out the new fast card, I’ll be more interested.
