lol, true.

Realisticaly though, it's always a good idea to wait at least 6 months before grabbing new tech. Give it time for the prices to drop, the revisions to come out and give the drivers a chance to mature.

It's just painful waiting, knowing that there is better performance out there to be had - for a bloody high price :D

It's nice to be cutting edge, but not so nice when a few months later a more refined and cheaper product hits the scene :p

Thought I would point out that the "9600GT ...(G92)" is in red, it should be green. And it would be nice to see the "9600 GSO/GSO 512" and the "8400 GS" in the list. Thanks!

I kinda figured that once the OP's were really never posting since 2009.

I'd update it lol, but it's better to check out sites like gpureview.com for the full range of graphics cards.

Yeah, it was useful when it was current info, but unfortunately it's now largely redundant due to it's outdated nature :(

I'll see if someone else can take over the updating.
