    G800 or one of it's varients, but then I won't have to pay for it either. Go for your Radeon, but just remember ATI has never produced drivers worth a crap.

      I think I will have to wait and see what NVIDIA and 3dfx have to offer by the end of the year...

      But it depends on what's affordable. The GeForce 2 Ultra is way too expensive...

        I'm sure that Nvidia will have
        the GeForce 2 Ultra Super Deulxe Supreme
        out by then.

          I'll probably go for a Radeon 64MB vivo, or perhaps the Radeon All-in-wonder.
          And Greebe, I don't think ATi:s driverproblems gonna be present with Radeon. Why? Most reviewer has found no problems at all with it, this card does have every function needed in hardware which can't be said about their previous generations, and they have invested heavily in the project.

            Definitely wait for the G800 dual GPU card. It will be worth it.

            I can't ever bring myself to buy an ATi or nVidia card again.

              Humus - Problems with drivers don't show up until 5 or 10 thousand different users with 2000 different configurations use them. A couple of reviewers who have stable computers and don't forget to load the latest drivers and such will have the fewest problems. Buyer beware the new technology.

                  Brian R:
                  I was thinking about such things as clipping error, texture corruption, z - fighting e.tc, which are independent on which hardware configuration the user has.
                  However, i don't think this piece of hardware will have too much compatibility issues, since it's not especially powerhungry as it's competitor. It only takes 6W.

                    There will always be a Matrox Card in my PC. Even if its slower than the competition.
                    First I want sharpness, then comes the speed.


                    Mega
                    K6-3 400Mhz@450Mhz
                    G400 16MB, 192MB Ram and so on
