Yeah. They released the 8400GS. I had no clue they did this. Its 128mb and 256 mb(two versions),but its really cheap,so its good for non-gaming and all that stuff. I find it interesting they released it personally. I wonder if they'll go ahead and release the 8900s or just release the 9 series instead.

Edit - On top of that,apparently ati released a 1GB version of their 2900XT,which is actually quite interesting,if its not gddr2 and gddr3.

I think it would be wise to go with at least a 8600 GT/GTS.
That is probably the bottom line for games.

I don't think they've ever released a 7 class in any other series before. Its only like: 8,6,5,and 4. and 9. but the 9 class in the geforce 8 series isn't out yet...

That kinda misses the point, you can do with a lot lower end card if you don't want to game, even watching movies etc doesn't take a monster of a card.

Since we're game developers I'd have to believe that making games for Direct X 10/Vista is goiing to take the same amount of juice as playing them so in my case it would be useless.For $10-20 more you can get an 8500 and,as far as I know,you can play games with that card.All of the reviews on the 8400 I have read say you can run Direct X10/Vista with them but woe unto those that want to play the games.

Please have mercy and use the search function.
