Has anyone heard that there is new gen video cards from ATI\NVIDIA coming soon, I'm looking at (for myself) the new GTX280\260 OH YAHH!!!

.

If Your going to buy one make sure you have a psu that has both a six and eight pin pcie power plugs running min of 600\650w Also a pcie x16 2.0 slot (althought they are supposed to be backward compatible to 1.0 with a bios update from the card maker, The price is not good est. 550 to 700 usd.

Share you thoughts on this, Thanks and happy gameing

AS of right now the Nvidia gtx280 is (in the early bench markes) 50% faster than the 8800gtx....WOW

And supposed to be faster than 2 8800gtx in sli by 30-40 fps in the latests games on just one card.....WOW

Pair that up with a good quad core oced.. ie q6600-q6700-q9300 and 1033\2000mhz high end ram and good mb like the Asus Rampage Formula or Striker 2 Exstream 780i sli and you got a winner for years to come.

Oh and mo power to ya.
