I have a problem. I told my wife I wouldn't buy another upgrade for my computer this year since I bought my 2900XT. However I found a 8800GT 1gig for less than 200 bucks. Iv looked at dozens of benchmarks and I'm not sure which is the better. They seem pretty close with the 8800 pulling ahead in some places.
ATI used to be my team but after they stuck us 2900XT users with the 3870 for half the price
within just a few months Im kinda sore. The 1900 series was around for at least a year before the 2000 series. And when the 2000 series came its flagship was 400 bones. Not like the 3870. See where I am coming from?
So now that you have some background here are my questions.
1. Do you guys think the 8800GTs will have a longer lifespan than the 2900s? Also how are the drivers for the 8800GT? Can it still get better or are the capped out?
2. After years of playing battlefield on ATI and Nvidia are the shadows still fixed on the Nvidia? I'm asking because ATIs shadows look like crap on that engine.
3. Is the performance gain of the 8800GT over the 2900XT worth a month of bitching and "alone time" :shadedshu
Any sugestions are welcome!
