Conflicted!!!! should i save my money for the 9800 GX2 to be released here in the next month or so, or should i buy an 8800GT.
 
9800GX2 I believe is being release a month after the 9800.

Details on time frame release of 9 series

[blockquote]-GeForce 8800 Ultra will be replaced by the GeForce 9800 GX2 in February / March timeframe.

-The GeForce 8800 GTX will be replaced by the GeForce 9800 GTX in February / March timeframe. This card will support Tri-SLI.

-The GeForce 9800 GT should appear in the March / April timeframe. We have limited information on this card currently.

-The recently “released” GeForce 8800 GS will be a limited GPU in terms of production. Do not expect more than 100,000 GPUs to be shipped worldwide, but soon. ASUS will supply Asia, Palit will supply China, EVGA will supply North America, and XFX will supply Europe. The GS is an “inventory solution.” The 8800 GS is 192-bit bus and will ship in 320MB, 512MB, and 640MB versions with a trimmed down number of stream processors as well. Will fall in line below 8800 GT but above the 9600 GT.

-The GeForce 9600 GT will fall in line below the 8800 GT, but give better performance than the GeForce 8600 GTS. The 9600 GT will be a whole new card not based on the 8800 GT PCB. Price point should be at $169 in retail/etail and plans are to carry this GPU throughout 2008.[/blockquote]

It seems like the 9800GTX will disappoint

If those are the specs of the 9800GTX, don't be hopeful on the 9800GX2, how ever nothing is true or false until we get specifics.
 
well that doesnt answer my question. would it just be better to buy an 880 right now than wait and get a 9800
 
I'm saving for a high range graphics card, my 8800gts g80 works just fines with tf2 and cod4. My advice is: save for a 9800GT.

It might be worthwhile to get an 8800GT from eVGA and then use step up.
 
You're looking at $599 for 1 GX2 and $230 for one GT or $460 for SLI.
