If you read his reply as if he's replying to the OP JDJ, then he's saying the GF8600 is too crippled, but he can't afford a GF8800GTS, so it's the GF7950KO for him.
I WOULD buy a 8800GTS 320MB if i could afford it, or wait another 2-3 weeks, but i can't wait, so with the 8600GTS looking crippled i'm getting a 7950GT KO Sup from EVGA and will step up when DX 10 games finally hit.
I can rent the 7950 AND maybe get a 8800GTS 640MB when they come down, i can get a 7950GT for £150 now and will probably only have to ad £50-70 for a 88gts 640MB in a couple of months.
