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.

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.

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 · Aug 14, 2005, 07:29 PM

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.

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

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.

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

Sandok · Aug 15, 2005, 04:07 AM

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

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...)

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

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

Chaos · Aug 15, 2005, 09:50 PM

I wouldn't mind trying out a PCI-e X800XL or X850 (any flavour)
I'm happy with the X800Pro AGP but now i need a new PCI-e to finish my mew system

swatX · Aug 16, 2005, 01:38 AM

i might get a r520 depending on the performence/price but right 6800gt all the way!

IamLakota · Aug 16, 2005, 03:39 AM

I'm happy with my 6800GT for now,but the cost of any new vid card is more than I'm willing to pay for at this time.My next upgrade will be to a pci-e mobo
that has sli capabilities,new dual core intel chip,and some DDR2.Ati just seems a it slow with its new card release's and I keep reading about their "crossfire"
sli solution but understand it isn't out yet either.Also I can't wait to see and hear the new creative X-Fi sound card,I will definatly get one of these first for my current rig and pass my Audigy 2 ZS on to my ol ladys rig.
