In pc world there always will be a "better" card/hardware because the developers just waste your pc for nothing so the games look slower and slower to run on your getting old hardware. PC games are written in C++ that means the code is not optimized and is wasted, its the same as to write in visual basic.

PS3 is good for 10-20 years because you CAN'T upgrade it, your pc is only for a 1 year or half.]]>Feb 13th 2008 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 8:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Dec 1st 2007 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/sigh.......]]>Dec 1st 2007 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/

So that is to say, if you were thinking about picking up a couple of 8800 gt's to run in SLI, your money might be better served waiting a bit and picking up one of those bad boys. This is especially true when considering dx10 games like Crysis cannot run with all the bells and whistles on your 24" 1920x1200 monitors with 2 8800 gt's.]]>Nov 30th 2007 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/(although if you use american currency you might feel you still can't afford it maybe)

what does happen is the card eventually gets discontinued for a new one

that's the big down fall of SLI is that its good idea but when you're ready for a 2nd card, the price is shitty compared to the newer cards]]>Nov 30th 2007 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/that would actually be kind of dumb, instead he should wait for the 9 series, then the gt will drop in price probably to $150, so then he should use that $150 to get the 9600gt, which will have even better performance than the 8800gt

the next series mid range is usually better than the last series highend, and smarter like DX10.1 vs. DX10, etc.]]>Dec 1st 2007 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Dec 1st 2007 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/

Its launch price was $500 and is currently being sold for $379 for an open box on newegg.

The fact is, companies do not mark down their high end products that much. The 8800 GTX probably won't be marked down that much. Another great example of this kind of pricing is Intel's Extreme processors. The X6800 was launched for $999 and is a 2.93GHz Dual Core "Core 2 Duo" processor. More recently, the E6850 came out, which is a 3.0GHz Dual Core "Core 2 Duo." The E6850 is currently 280 on new egg, while the X6800 is 975 - they have nearly identical performance.

I do not at all think that PC hardware is moving too fast; if anything, it is moving too slowly. The increasing speed with which these updates are coming spells more improvement for the end user. This is probably most clear with Intel's great advancements in computing which spells faster, smaller, more energy efficient chips, helping power users and mobile users especially.]]>Nov 30th 2007 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/I quote wikipedia (seem correct on this):

..but I still just want a coprocessor on a card. I want to use it for

physics via bullet
folding@home
ray tracing and baking in blender
latest dirac and ogg spec encoding/decoding
mixing high definition sound in 3d
parallel makefile .c compilation with gcc

...you know, once all the software catches up. Will this series be what I need, or do I still just stick to my Radeon 9200SE and 2.8 GHz CPU, and keep waiting?

Common misconception. Every Intel x86 core since the Pentium Pro/II has been a RISC processor. They still accept CISC instructions, but those instructions are internally broken down into RISC ops and sequenced the same as any other RISC instruction would be. This is actually a lot more efficient than most people realize, as the CISC instructions are more compact and thus take up less space in cache and on the buses, thereby acting as a sort of rudimentary (but effective) data compression, freeing up space and bandwidth for other things.]]>Jan 14th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Nov 30th 2007 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/Dec 9th 2007 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/nvidia-launching-geforce-9-series-next-february/
