Time for a new vid card. The price on the geforce 8600's is great right now. I either want two of those SLI or what about one 8800. The price for 2 of those is still way cheaper then one 8800. What do you guys think?

Don't bother with the 8600 unless its the only thing you can afford. The 8800 series is so far above it in performance its just not worth considering. Also, the HD3850/70 are actually good midrange cards from ATI, and they match or almost match the 8800GTS 320mb in most games.
If I was in the market for a card right now, and I couldn't afford an 8800GT, the HD3850/70 would be next on my list. The 8600s, even in SLI, just aren't worth your time.
yeah, the 8800 GT is the top of the line, or following that I'd go with eh 8800 GTS. Personally I'm a Nvidia fan and up until now at least they're top of the line in hardware and software. Which would lead me to them in the future.
I saw a deal on the 3850 for $170 yesterday, so as fas as I'm concerned that is a very good price for a very good card.
I hadda at least dig up a link, so here ya go:

Thanks guys. I think I will wait till after christmas and get me an 8800. IF you have info on newer cards coming out let me know. I have had my 7800GTX OC card for nearly 2 years and it's been great to me. I will stick with Geforce and I have had great success with BFG.
Thanks again for the info it probably saved me in the long run.
I own a bfgtech 8800gts 640mb card and love it, plays CoD4 online perfect along with UT3 and TF2. I actually have yet to see a game that it won't play smooth as butter for me.

1920X1080 Crysis anyone?
once i get my HD projector, you better believe it!
you bet. i know for sure i am getting a digital camcorder for christmas... but since HD is 1920x1080, i just want to make my rig cry for mercy. thne, use it as an excuse to the wife to "upgrade it". *snicker*
odd though, not to detract fro mthe topic, but are you aware that HD is ONLY 2.1 Megapixels?

2.1mp for now. Wait till the super duper HD resolutions come out. And we still won't be able to tell much of a difference in picture quality.
