Geez, josh6079, don't be an so grumpy
Sorry. It's just that with G80 being the prime time, there are threads and threads about it and some of them have been created so as to collect a certain area of information about it, such as Overclocking, Reviews, Orders, etc. By making another thread that asks a question that was answered in another
active, first-page thread just gets irritating. That thread I linked was intended to keep threads like this from popping up every time a buyer had a comparison question. Then upon my linking of it, it was as if he still didn't look for his answer. Redbox was pretty accurate.
I think Josh just misunderstood me. I'm not particularly computer savvy.
You're question was about the performance. How "savvy" does a bar graph in a review look?
I toytally see his point now - how he must be tired of the same old thing. I should have detailed more in my original post. But I didn't understand this taboo against repeat posts on things and intended to add more as a conversation with posters expanded. Sorry Josh.
Likewise, sorry if I came off a little strong but we don't want a full forum page of threads that all ask the same questions.
Don't go bother with a 30" until every review shows NWN2 getting good frames with that resolution.
Hold off with the X1950's in CF for a little bits since selling them can be a pain for you and your location. They'll play everything really well and it isn't the end of the world if you have to turn down some useless settings in NWN2 that I've found
only hurt performance and give next to nill in image quality. I haven't had any problems with it but from what I hear the game needs to be patched. When it does get patched it may do better. 8800GTX in SLI would probably give you just as unsettling issues considering Vsync and SLI are jacked up (at least for that game). So you'll either have fast graphics with a tearing screen or uniformed graphics with low frames.
Don't stress so much about configuring a way to get an 8800GTX, or 8800GTX SLI because by the time you might be ready for it it might be one month away from R600 and/or G81. Just get yourself ready for another upgrade and right when the new technology hits, and if it's worthy, jump on it.
