I'm thinking about getting a 7900GT. How is that card anyhow? Is it much better than the GS? Just looking for something to hold me over until the dx10 cards drop in price.
Also, I have a 375W power supply, will I need to get a bigger one?

Big mistake, actually more like HUGE mistake, now is the worst possible time to buy a 7900. Wait it out another month or 2 and you will land yourself a nice 8600GT/Ultra.I'm thinking about getting a 7900GT. How is that card anyhow? Is it much better than the GS?

Thanks for the advice, I've been trying to wait. My PC came with a 7300LE and I just don't think it is that good. I've heard that a 8600 was coming out in a month or two, but is this confirmed?

Sortof... Just wait... No point upgrading until you see what the 8600 really does... I have a 7900 GT myself.. And I loved it.. You don't have a bad card and as long as you got it for a good price all is good... It will serve you for at least a year or more. If you could put up with a7300 for a little while... then the 7900 will keep you until the 8900 series comes out and you might be able to get an 8800 for a reasonable price... in which case... get a 550 PSU at least... :DThanks for the advice, I've been trying to wait.

Thanks for the advice. I will wait until March since that is about the same price I was going to pay for a 7900. In the meantime, I will start looking around for a bigger power supply.Lukin

So getting a video card to run Vista and DX10 before this fall is kindof pointless...

Well if it's on time like Vista was we can expect it in oh um... january of next year... If he wants to play crysis... Vista is total crap... For crying out loud wait... Ah whatever.. If you want it get it I just don't recommend it at all... I've had more headaches with it then I did with ME...

Half of them would be fine with me... :P I hate it right now... I found out the other day that I can get a OEM copy really cheap (legal and all). So I almost bought it.. Then I came home and spent an hour on vista.. They can keep it lol. I am going to order the free copy for my laptop... But I probably won't install it...
^ Yeh I used the beta about 1 month ago, I hated it too. Vista looks nice and all, but for me I think it is going to take awhile getting used to.Generalkill8888Oh I have final Ultimate now... MS gave it out free to people who reported enough bugs... Very kind of them if you ask me... But it's still a crap OS and I did not even pay for this copy... I will buy a copy eventually for my other computer... But not for a while.
The 8600 series will probably be better. You might get away with a 375W, but it's not recommended. By the way, do you have a dell, because I also had a 7300LE and a 375W PSU :)I'm thinking about getting a 7900GT. How is that card anyhow? Is it much better than the GS? Just looking for something to hold me over until the dx10 cards drop in price.

Im going to buy Home Premium in Mid March maybe. Does anyone know if GRAW 2 will be DX10 compatible? If it is, then im buying Vista in March :D

IE it will look the same on Vista or XP (and it will play smoother on XP)

Well either way, I hope its better than GRAW1 LoL.
Oh Graw two as in the second game... I better check on that....KSlater85Yeah, I was just watching some Videos on it, I mean the game looks alot better than the first one. I sure hope it plays better as well.
