I have a gainward geforce4 ti4200 128 megs which i purchased last november of 2002...
i wanted to get a better video card in preparation for hl2 and other dx9 games...
i know that there are rumors that the fx5900 has issues with hl2 and what not...
and it appears that the 9800pro / 9700 pro / 9600 pro 's are all putting up pretty decent numbers...
but then again i hear that the fx5950 is right around the corner as well...
some questions
1. when is ati releasing their newest gpu? and if they are, when can a price drop on the 9800 pro / 9600 pro be expected?
2. would you even recommend getting a 9800 pro or save my money for later upgrades?
