Ola!
I've been rocking a 9800pro and a A8V since december and i'm sure some of you know the via K800pro chipset and radeon 9800series dont mix so well. Basically i've put up with 2d/2d screen coruption for half a year and i finally snaped on monday.
I implusivly ordered a NF4 Ultra-D and i was going to get a 6600GT from FS/FT forum but the seller had to hold off for a bit. So now i'm left with a Ultra-D sitting on my desk in its purdy box and i'm wondering how i should solve my video card problem.
1. Hold out till seller is ready to sell the card and pick up a 6600GT for ~140USD(185CND)
2. Buy a 6600GT online now and pay close to 300CND(tax/shipping inc)
3. Wait till the new stuff comes out and get a 6600GT or 6800NU or GT when prices drop.
4. Spend alot more and get a mid range 7xxx series.
I really dont mind waiting a little while to get a used 6600GT on the forums at a good price. I'd rather do that then buy a new card for almost twice as much. But if i were to wait a bit longer i could maybe get a better card from the current product lineup or spend a bit more and get a mid end card from the new line up.
Basically is it worth waiting for the new cards to hit market or a hold i just get a cheap used 6600GT asap? My old beef with getting a 6600GT is that its not a whole lot better then my 9800pro, but at the same time, screen coruption in photoshop and videos is really pissing me off (dont get my started on 3d coruption .
)
Thanks for any insight
