I'm happy with my X1800XT 512MB, I can play every game max setting no problem. I'm probably going to upgrade when the R600 hit the stores but for now I just can't justify purchasing the G80.
Going from 1280x1024 with X1800XT (used to be 1600x1200 with 7800GT SLI) to 2048x1536.
It's going to be a complete system upgrade though, A64 3500+ is showing it's age now & would sure as hell limit 8800's. I am tempted to update my monitor too but this CRT isn't showing it's age just yet, probably got another 2-3 years in it.
Waiting for the drivers to catch up to the hardware, for a price drop to at least MSRP, and to see if any X1950 Crossfire cards show up on the FS/FT boards at an unbelievable price.
I did my step-up to 8800GTX on launch day but won't actually have it for a couple of weeks depending on the queue. I'll still probably get a G80 refresh card later on since I have several new system builds planned.
Just going to wait until the r600s are out. I'd like to see a) which one is better, b) I don't have the money and c) I'm happy with my x1900xt. I'll see whether there is any price drop when there is some competition from ATI.
