I'm sure I read that NVidia was going to release new drivers monthly. Just looked for Windows Vista 32-bit drivers and they are still 100.65 / Feb 20th So it's the end of March almost and still no new drivers? Are NVidia sitting on their hands :confused:

It's not just the graphics chip that makes for performance. The AMD 64's and X2's just don't cut it with STALKER. Not sure if its bandwidth or bottlenecks but having seen STALKER on my friends X2 5200 and comparing it to my C2D (both pc's have BFG's 8800GTS OC) it runs like crap and it's very...

It doesn't sound like much on paper but in reality it's a big difference and I think a 22" is a better choice.

I just got the 226BW last night and it looks amazing in Windows. but I have not done any calibrations :confused: how do I do that? There wasn't much on the Samsung supplied CD.

I was planning on holding off on upgrading my 6600 until the G81 or refresh but I just don't know now. Is there a point buying a DX10 Video card when there are no DX10 games?

So most likely there will not be a new high end range until Q3, 2007? :(

8800 Ultra? :eek: How much power is that beastie going to use? ;)

I was hoping nvidia would announce that they're shipping the 8900's in april?

Please tell me this is not true :( I really can't justify getting an 8800 - they just aren't that much faster and the drivers such. I would hate to wait until Q4, 2007 to get a new graphics card.

Wow thanks for the information! These 226BW's are just being released in Australia on March 1st and I'm now going to make sure the model is a 226BW S and not an A.

What will happen to the new batch of 8900's that were meant to be released to dampen the ATI euphoria? :eek: Or is NVidia still going to release the new 8900's at the end of march anyway?

I was really excited about getting this panel since I run Vista and love my games. But after reading all the different and confusing views I just don't know anymore. I'm totally confused. Quite simply, is the panel any good or not? I play games and run vista. :confused:

I'm still struggling with trying to decide to go for widescreen or not. The one thing that is helping me make my decision is that I watch a lot of DVD ony my PC and I run Windows Vista but I'm a bit concerned about games - then theres HDMI, and I want that. So I guess widescreen is it.

You have a video card that is totally droolworthy to most gamers. I felt like bursting into tears reading "Ditch my 7950GX2" - :eek: :confused: :eek: Maybe save your tax money and wait for the G80 refresh. 8900 and such. Cooler and faster than the 8800, what could be better?

If anyone has waited this long to get a 8800GTS I would say, wait just a little longer it will be worth the wait. The 8900GTS is coming within the next 6 to 8 weeks and it will run cooler and faster and have better specifications. It's nonsense to buy a 8800 series graphics card now, how...
