RE: Help with vid cards
Wait till November till the 9800s are out. Hopefully that will put some sort of dent into the 8800's price range. If you plan on doing lots of DX10 gaming on that monitor you won then you will need a good card. I suggest an 8800gtx at the least for a monitor using that resolution.
New games like Crysis will need all the power they can get. A few of the testers running 2 x 8800gtx's in SLi have reported that they cant even run this game on max without it lagging. This could be nvidia's fault as the Vista SLi drivers aren't up to spec yet..
Basically we need some sort of a budget from you, and what you intend on using the computer mainly for before we can suggest cards to you
Drawn into the darkness here with your eyes on the prize at stake.
Faint hearts on an endless path letting go of the ones we break.
