i'd go with a 8800GTS 512mb, the 9800GTX isn't that much better than the 8 series  ??? ???

edit: guess they're pretty much the same across the board, including price, so it doesn't really matter after all :'(

Holy fuck $20 off $659?  How do they stay in business.  Why don't they just give it away.

I don't even think the 9000 series is that much better than the 8800 GT,GTS. Just do yourself a favor and get the 8800 GTS or the $150 8800 GT. You'll save a shitload of money.

I quite like the 9000 series so far; its quite the gaming bang for the buck, or so it seems on my 9600 GT. It was totally worth it at about $120 after rebate. TOTALLY.

It's a 9600GT OC Tongue
Plus you can run two of em in SLI for slightly more the cost of a single 9800GTX.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't get a Radeon 4850? It seems like a whole lotta video card for $200

Drivers maybe? Idk, it does seem like an *awful* lot of card for the money, which is a good thing. Visiontek apparently offers a lifetime warranty with their's, sounds like an even better deal (apparently it does run pretty hot though, unless you unlock the onboard fan)
