    I need some advice on a new graphics card. I haven't really been reading up on them for about a year now and the last card I bought was the 7900 GTX which has served me well but is in need of replacing. The 9800GX2 looks nice :)

    I was hoping someone could just say, in short, which card to buy. Oh and price isn't a problem.

    Well, that depends! Monitor size and rest of machine specs?

    They are saying 18th of June for those cards, the top end GTX 280 ( single card ) is suppose to be 20% faster than a 9800gx2 and GTX 260 a bit faster than the 9800gx2 also..

    Prices should be €450 for GTX280 and €370 for GTX260
