Are you going to wait on ATi's next generation video card?

I wouldn't mind picking up the GTX now. However, waiting on the R520 to come out to see how it compares. Also worried about Nvidia releasing an Ultra version at the same price as the GTX later.

my x850xtpe cost an arm and a leg... no thanks, not changing for eons

I'm happy with what i have at the moment. If i'm going to upgrade it will be when vista is released.

jasonbourne

yeah i will wait for ati, but im happy with what ihave at the moment it`s not much but i can handle my games very well

Stop It

I'm happy with my 6800 until Ati/Nvidia start reduce prices a bit, £400 is over my range for a Gfx chip.

Got an X800 XL within the last 4 months, won't be getting a new card any time soon.

Even if I was in line for a new card, the top of the line models aren't worth what they cost. Both ATI and nVidia, in my eyes, rip people off with those prices.

MIG-31

Sticking with what i have in my sig.....the whole rig is only 2 months old....and im happy with the x850xt pci-e card...

BWX

Getting X800XL soon.

kelticknight

have a agp ati overclockers x800xt pe with 256,happy with what l have,will skip a few versions before l upgrade as its playing everything in sight,next upgrade will be mobo and g-card to use pci-e,so not in hurry

bake15

ATI all the way and always will be, no matter how long they take to release new tec
i guess that makes me a ati fanboy


Edit looks like i was talking BS because im now on nvidia

CDsDontBurn

I'm happy w/what i have. Unless i come across a riduclous amount of money, i'm not going to upgrade my system for a long time to come.

INSTG8R

I just finished putting all I could into this current rig to stave off upgrading for another year,by that time an upgrade will be required anyway

Dark Lord

im perfectly happy with my x800pro AGP.

maybe if i come across a cheap R520 in an AGP flavor ill consider it.

temeteus82

if I had the money to upgrade, I would test ati's cards. Current card don't sync with my tv

kelticknight

same here

I'm sticking with my 6600gt for now, I never spend more than $250 CDN on my video cards anyway. I probably won't be upgrading from my 6600gt until I can get a significant upgrade for a good price, along the lines of a 6800 ultra for $200 or less.

IvanV

I'm curious to see R520 in action, but I'll stick with what I've got for awhile. I suppose the next geteration of cards will be PCI-E only, so it would be a really expensive upgrade.

Corth

I usually skip a couple gen's of vid cards before I upgrade. However this time, it might depend on how well it performs... ATI all the way though

KNIBBO

I would consider it, but since I have a 6800GT and an SLI mobo, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to add another 6800GT.

Raptor

Just got my x850xtpe. To say I'm very satisfied is an understatment. Gonna keep it for a LONG time

Alistair

I just got an X800XL because I got sick of waiting for any sort of official news on the new card. Not to mention I fear what it will cost after seeing the 7800GTX launch prices.

bug77

Happy here as well. Why upgrade when HL2 runs @1600x1200?

Sandok

lol ya these newer cards all require 2048x1536 reso so since my screen is only 1280x1024, i'm happy

Duranix

i wont be upgrading ever again =(

ill be saving my money for a leet pc when vista comes out.

i predict that if i starve my lunch money, and just keep it all and horde it in my room, in exactly one year, ill have $1300, + whatever i can sell from my current pc, so thats about $1800, then ill have an extra 4 months to save, so thats about $100, so ill have $1900... then i have birthdays which are $100, so thats about $2000.... enough for a uberleet pc when vista comes out

(ok, so its nowhere near enough.... Crys...)

bug77

I was wondering about that. So 'never again' would be about 'when vista comes out'... Makes sense.

GeneralClaymore

i happy with my x800xl it plays all my games at 1600x1200 and the aa and af settings that i use great.
