I truly don't understand why people rush out to buy the next video card the moment they come out.

I am running an ATI Radeon 7200 w/64DDR and you know, it is very, very seldom that I can't run a game a max detail with great frame rates. I am just now starting to think about stepping up to an 8000 generation, or Geforce 3, and I will be able to pick one up for around $100US.

Meanwhile, people will be spending 400+ to buy a video card that developers won't utilize for another 1-2 years.

You definitely should get a radeon 8500 or a geforce 3. Next year a whole lot of games will use pixel / vertex shaders, which will create effects that an older card just can't deal with.

Doom 3's config file has an option where you can turn on / off nv30, so obviously it'll look even better for owners of that card.

I'm sure the card won't be cheap, but keep in mind that nvidia has a lot of competition from ati, so they can't charge a fortune when people could get cheaper radeon 9700's..

Im Sure ur all aware that ATI are already in the process of building the Nvidia NV30 Killer & it will make the NV30 look like an outdated Voodoo2, like the 9700 pro did to the Ti4600, so save ur money & buy an ATI Card, cos Nvidia Have Lost there edge.

I know this Reply is gonna upset alot of ppl, but hey, except the FACTS, Nvidia are Second Rate, Long Live ATI Â*

Keep saving up for a Geforce3, the prices are gonna freefall now that it is 2 generations behind. There is no point in buying the latest,greatest vid card, developers are just now starting to fully implement the features of the Geforce3, buying a 4 or later is pretty much a waste of money, unless you just want bragging rights. __________________ Papajoe r0ckz3rz!!
