Gamestop is advertising the 8800 GTX as we speak, is one generation behind, on their Windows display at their store. I know how it plays and it does it well. First of mass majority of my games date from 2001 - 2005 and it works too well for those. Yet it did have a 368-bit memory bus. This basically means that the AA could be brought to 4x in res of 1600x1200 on the latest games while the 9800 GTX and GX2 flunked that aspect with fps dropping.
So with the 512-bit memory bus (double yay) in the 1 GB 9900 (either GTX or GX2) this must mean that Gamestop could start advertising it for PCs and I would have some credibility (actually purchase credibility in a way). It seems like everybody is updating to the 8800 GTS/GT/GTX whether a hardcore pc gamer or not, because we were the richest nation in the 1990s...maybe 2nd after Japan in terms of buying power, yet it's just a $400 GPU.
The 8800 GTX may of made Crysis playable in DirectX 9 on high settings, but the 9900 GTX will undoubtedly make it cool to the mainstream! The 9800 GX2, as bad as it is for the price is getting over [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814150284]8.0 at newegg[/url]. It's not going away! The PC Gaming Alliance is doing it's job here.
Good DirectX 10 games coming out
Dead Space
Guild Wars 2
Farcry 2
Blizzard Entertainment RPG project
All which I can afford a few months after launch, because I can't afford everything immediately. It takes planning several months in advance
