yeah i think ill wait to see some proper bentchmarks in a real pc rather than estimates. still, its gonna have to be quite alot better than my 8800ultra for me to think about changing again.

edit @ Fanboi, i was thinking the same thing, still you know nvidia well beleed as much out of us with this chipset before upgrading. also they might be waiting to see what ATI might come out with as rumour has it they're doing some very interesting stuff, which is good after the flop that was the 2900.

At $250 this would be a nice midrange card. But where the hell is Nvidia's nextgen chipset?

ill be intersted to see what these actually sell for at release and wether it has any effect on the price of the current 8800 models, namely the GTS.
im not sure where people get the idea pc gaming is so expencive ($5000), obviously you can go crazy and spend that sort of money but it would be a complete waste. just means insteed of 100fps you'd be getting 500fps which makes no difference.

well not yet anyway. if have played around with things that feature dx10 support (bioshock and the like), and i have not notice any dematic difference apart from the massive FPS drop i get from dx9.
obviously we'll have to wait for something like CRYSIS to really tell as the developers built the game from the start with dx10 in mind so this will be the first game to really show whats possible. i personally, even after spending a small fortune to build my pc for dx10, think it was orginally a bit of a gimmick to help sell copies of vista.
if i was you id hold my horses for a bit (month or 2) and see if all these new cards have an effect on the price of the current 8800 models. remember to that theres no point in having the best GPU unless you have a decend processor and ram!

According to a previous article about this (with a comparison chart and all) the 8800GTS will not be dropping prices but the GTX and Ultra will (around 50/70 bucks)

Contrary to popular belief it seems NVIDIA wont be lowering all the cards prices for the new ones but actually making some of the new ones more expensive and slightly lowering some cards GTX/Ultra to fit the new cards in the old price points
