If the prototype GTX 300 series cards they had at Fragapalooza powering the NVIDIA booth computers were any indication then you should get 'em.
Between the time frame from within a few weeks to the first quarter of '10, building new PCs should be graphically interesting. Although the RV870 XT and Pro (HD5870 and 5850 respectively) do seem to pull it off performance wise (price is too high for those who are financially deprived), I want to wait for the GT300 and compare GPU benchmarks/reviews. There were prototype GTX300s at the Fragapalooza??
The NVIDIA booth computers were all outfitted with graphics cards that had temporary looking cooling units, and there was no insignia or labeling what-so-ever except for an "NVIDIA Eye" logo on the sides. The device manager had some obscure identification that I forgot, and the drivers were a custom (internal) build number. When we asked the NVIDIA/BFG rep what they were he told us he wasn't able to tell us since they were "prototypes that haven't been officially announced".
We were also told not to photograph them, so... I assumed they were prototype GTX 300 series cards.
Was thinking http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130339 but yeah, something like this or that
$139.99 VisionTek Radeon HD4870
Faster and better image quality than the 9800GTX+.
