If you can it would be better to get away from that kinda thing and get a regular system instead of a server based system. You can get 4/6gig of DDR2 800 really cheap and your FSB wont be limiting you

Yea ill wait till Intel's new core comes out and Nvidias 10 series before im going to do anything. Just no real point in upgrading now when i can play Crysis on High. Plus with Intel's new core supposivly coming out later this year... I could get a much better processor. Plus the 9 series is only good at scaling so id rather get a card that was superior to the previous generation.

Plus i got it for free. In life you cant beat free lol.

Youll be waiting for a while for a real card from Nvidia id bet.

I would expect something "new" this year.

I hate to say this but if Nvidia wont give it to me then ill get it from ATI. Eather that or maybe ill SLI... Ive had quite a few SLI boards but ive never actulay use SLI.

Thats what we said about the 9800GTX. Didnt happen, so ill believe it when i see it. And youll be getting worse if you go ATI.

That depends on if ATI kicks its game up, which may or may not happen. Only time will tell.

One word my friend PP, GT200.

Since the 9 Series cards are just recycled G9x cards, Nvidia will have to release something new(GT200) when the the RV770 is out this year if they want to keep the graphics crown.

Some hope is still left with these two articles:

Its the 7800 and 7900 series all over again!!!
Replacing the 9800 GX2 and 9800 GTX just like the 7900 GX2 replacing the 7800 GX2 only the 7800 GX2 never really gained any popularity, and the 7900 GTX replacing the 7800 GTX.

Grain of salt Werty. Im not going to get all hyped up like i did for 9800GTX and get knocked back down in my seat with disappointment.

[Goliath182]

Yea it feels like that. Wanna hope that the 9900 series will be good but from what Nvidia has done so far with the 9800 GTX i will have to see it to believe.

[werty316]

Yep, that grain of salt is good for now but rest assured, the GT200 will come.

The 9900 i read is a revamped 9800 G92 core or w/e

I also read (ill look for the site) nvidia is saving the Geforce 10k name for the brand new chips, all the 9 series cards will be the same, rebranded/refurbished/revamped cards.

[Goliath182]

But the 9900 GTX is supposed to outperform the 9800 GX2. Its GPU is supposivly huge, barly able to fit on the PCB. Seems like its going to take a huge amount of power, hopefully it will perform well wihout high temps.
