For those of you frustrated with your performance on Doom3...

It's only PCI-E right now, AGP supposedly on the way... but the price of this card almost justifies the new mobo to go with it!!

ATI was releasing theirs are $259, but decided to match the GeForce one at $199. Only PCI-E MSRP price, so lets wait and see what we get in November.

I am still searching for the Radeon 9800 PRO All-In-Wonder card. So far the lowest price I have seen is $271 shipped.

* drool *

I dig the All in Wonder cards. Not always the best gaming choice, but so versatile! I was eyeing the AIW-9600 until I saw the price start dropping on the 9800 Pro 128MB

Still more $ than the 6600GT, but dang if the AIW cards aren't versatile little suckers. Recording TV alone makes it a great buy.

Especially with something like this:

THe 9800 PRO sells for around $200 now. Add another $71 to that and you can upgrade it to the AIW.

I hope this new stream of cards will come out soon, once they do I will be buying the 9800 PRO AIW. $271 is stilll pretty expensive for just a graphics card.

Yep, I agree...

With all of these new ones looking so good, the price on the 9x00's should be dropping like lead.
