Video Card Advice

[Beavis68]

what are you doing with it?

From what I know there isn't much point in using a 8xxx series card unless you are running Vista for the DX10 support.

I want the video card just for gaming, I plan on getting a new computer in the new year with vista so If I don't have Dx10 support right now that's Ok,

If you gaming, don't get anything LESS than an 8800GT.

There are new 8800GTS's coming in the next month that have upwards of 1Gig of onboard video RAM...food for thought.

There is currently 8800GTS's out, but those are not them..they are coming shortly.

what games are you planning on playing? The really good DX10 cards are outragously expensive right now and will probably be much cheaper when you buy in a year.

I would say to look at something in the nVidia 7600-7950 range.

Your current rig won't be much of a gamer anyway.

I would get one of the new 8800GT. Tom's Hardware tested them and they were better than a 8800GTS and slightly lower than the 8800GTX, and like half the price of a GTX.
