What's your pick?

Ok so the thread in the game discussion got me thinking and since i'm a curious guy and i also dunno which to get here's my question.

What VPU (or GPU whatever) do you like best?

9700 owns

Well, there's no way I'm spending the cash on the new FX when it finally gets released. But then again, I'm a cheapo when it comes to graphics cards. I would think that the FX will kill the current radeon cards though. I mean, come on, it takes up an extra slot for exhaust.

I'm holding at a GeForce 3 for at least another year and a half

I'll probably be getting a 9700pro for PS and keep that for alap.

I am going to hold-out for the FX, unless the 9700 drops in price shortly after the FX's release.

I would buy the 9700 right now, but I have no money, and I am looking to build a new system in early-mid Feb, around the time the FX is supposed to be released. I don't mind paying $50-75 extra for the FX (although I assume you won't be able to take full advatage of all the card offers for 6 months or so), because I have skimped on quality graphics cards for so long and I am tired of poor frame rates. With my G2 MX on Wolf I can get into the teens on large servers.

Waiting for FX, will probably get one after the price drops a little depending on how much $$ I have at the time. I've never been a fan of radeon, just never really been impressed by the cards. I love the nvidia driver team as well.

I'd bet my left nipple that the 9700 pro drops in price when the FX comes out, and the same with the FX when the next radeon comes out....soon they'll have such an agp bottleneck or RAM bottle neck it wont matter

[Toimu]

I'll be keeping my nvidia 64meg G3.

ill be keeping my nipples

Well assuming it does indeed come out in Feb i will obviously check it out but i would be surprised if the FX is just an extra 50-75$. GeForces are usually pretty expensive, specially at launch.

[Civilian]

Well right now the 9700 is $400 minus the $50 rebate. If the FX is $500+ then there's a good chance I will take a pass

[�io]

Well i assume at the FX release the 9700pro will be more around 300-350 so it's a good deal of difference.

Well like the RAM i need/want to buy i'll wait and see how much $$$ it will cost in Feb-March then decide.

Yah, that's my plan as well, although I am still leaning toward the FX. I wuv me some nvidia
