Default Nvidia's 9800 GTX and 9800 GX2 seem to be a waste of time & money

If you have a 8800 GTX, 8800 Ultra or 8800 GT, you might as well save
your money, don't waste it on 9800 GTX or 9800 GX2. These cards are
more or less what you already have. In some important areas, really
less. Save it for the upcoming GT200 based 9900GTX or 9900GX2. Which
will should be arriving Q3 2008.


Save my money for Q3? I bought an 8800GT in December. It'll be long
after Q3 that I upgrade again. I suspect thats true for a lot of
people since there are probably going to be 2 more games that can even
use the 8800's horsepower by then.
