True but I honestly have never seen a real difference at all using AA and AF to be honest on my 27" monitor.

Yah, for an absolutely bare card, stock cooler, and 256MB vRAM, maybe...
lucky bastard... I'm trying to convince myself to upgrade now instead of waiting for the high end to come out.Originally posted by: Capt Caveman
Well, my X1900XTX just died. Looks like a SSC is in my near future.
yes, and I would be interested in a QX6850 for $100-$150, too, but that doesn't mean that it will ever get that cheap.Originally posted by: nullpointerus

Actually, many gamers -- maybe you meant gaming enthusiasts? -- buy low/mid-range cards. (Hey, there are people on gaming forums who regularly advise CF'ing X1650's!) These people have lower standards: they may not care about running the native res. of their LCDs or using AA/AF.
Even so, the 8800GT 256MB model would be very attractive if it dropped down into the $100-150 range.
Now that the 8800GT is here, what we need is stock and a price war. Although I purchased an 8800GT (not here yet!), I hope that the next AMD card is a decent competitor. There is always room for another upgrade...

The $200 models will the be 6-layer price reduced board. the only manufacturers making those will be the Chinese no-namers. Expect brand-name stock models to come in somewhere around $225-$250 with overclocked models being a bit more.

yacoub said he could not imagine why gamers would care for the 8800GT, and I merely provided a possible scenario...not sure why you need to be sarcastic toward me.
