Cuz real gamer-ass fraggas dont sleep (They drink Bawls)


Sorry, couldn't resist...]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
good time to be a gamer? remember when the top of the line graphics cards used to be around $250.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
What we're now seeing is much more performance for the price. Looking back to the 6-series nVidia cards, you'd have to spend $200 on a 6600GT that didnt perform nearly as well at a $400 6800GT. Now you can get $200 8800GTs that perform almost as well as a $400 8800GTX. While the launch prices of these 9000 series are higher, you know they will quickly drop. I imagine we'll see 9800GTs at $250 within a month of launch, and the 9600GT is already at $180 and falling, despite being launched only a few days ago.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/Feb 22nd 2008 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/Feb 22nd 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/Feb 22nd 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
If it ain't broke, don't fix it right? Damn I'm such a cheapskate. :)

Unless you just bought a more expensive, less powerful card two months ago. :(]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/Feb 22nd 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
I'm waiting for the GT which has always beed a good mid-level performer. Hopefully it will hit $200 quickly.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/Feb 22nd 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/That's the 9600GT. He means the 9800GT, which will be the real powerful gaming card and the successor to the 8800gt. Almost all of the cards have a GT somewhere in the family name; i had an 8500GT, but that wasn't THE GT card; it blew. I'm guessing that the 9800Gt will probably be priced between $250-$300 and sell closer to $300-$350, but that's purely a guess.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/Feb 22nd 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/Feb 22nd 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
My only concern about this happening now is the future: What is NVidia going to do once they want to move past the 9-series? Are they going to use 10000? Will they start to act like ATI with an X in the front? The reason I started with NVidia in the first place was that the naming system seemed simpler and more intuitive to me. If they lose that, everything will be so much more dificult, especially for newcomers to pc gaming like i was when i first became interested in all of this stuff.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
I still hate myself for not waiting a few more months and just getting dual GTs or something. sigh, hindsight.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
I still have an X800XT because it was hard to find a card for less than $350 that would outperform it by a large enough margin to make it worth while. I'd love to start playign some PC games again, haven't bought one since Battlefront 2.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/

I guess we all know where alot of Tax Refund checks are going to be headed this year.

When do the 9000 series Core 2 Quads come out?

It may very well be a great time to be a gamer.


X48/nF790i + 8900GTX (SLI) + Core 2 Quad 9450 with a simple FSB Overclock to 400 (turns your 2.66 Quad into a 3.2Ghz Quad).
Thats gonna be one screaming machine.

And to think, you could go with a mATX Board and a 9800GX2 and still stuff all this goodness into a mATX Tower/Cube]]>Feb 22nd 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/22/geforce-9-roadmap-revealed-9800-gx2-due-march-11th/
