Personaly the 9800 sounds interesting... but the problem it's about the same performance... than it perdecessor... i think if for the moment you dont want any probs... take an 8800 series... (because the drivers for thoses are on an solid base) And as i heard about the 9800 the drivers are really... baaad ....

Personaly for the same price you can take an ATI card

Who i think have an better quality of image. AN 3870 X2 for the same cash would be an nice idea too

Be warned and this is the way NV works you might see limited driver updates for the 8800 series or no further support at all

Drivers for my card work well not sure on the 9800GTX

Erm, 9800GTX is based on G92, which is the same as 8800GTS, which isn't really that new. I don't see any driver problem.

Better image quality? In what sense?

Video?

Was an long time i didn't heard about Nvidia drivers but im glad to see Nvidia released new ones

Image quality... in the sence (in games) like the textures AA and all this stuff.. maybe im outdated with this opinion ...

If it wasn't for the fact that,once you get it you can't get $$ back I would get them both.Benchmark both,and send the loser back.

8800GTX has been tested many times its old technology. The 9800GTX is the same technology but a newer card.

Your choice Bro
