As suggested previously by Havegooda:

Apparently the 9800GT is not a good use of your money - it is the same as the 8800GT, so unless it costs the EXACT same as an 8800, people are suggesting you stick with the 8800. If you want to go with a 9800 I suggest you get the gtx model.

For the price you could also throw in the 3870 or even 4850 from ATi... of course... I am an ATi type of guy after my last two NVidias crapped out...

Well see thats the thing, i am just trying to find a higher end card for my pc thats not a 8800.

Well are you stuck with AMD? Or can you go Intel?

Are you stuck with nVidian? Or can you go ATI?

Well Nvidia has never failed me, and i had two ati cards that died within 5 months.

And i am stuck with AMD, but i like amd so i wouldn't want to switch anyways.

i used to run amd all the way, then i switched to intel and would never dream of switching back. I love my intel
