Having second thoughts =/

[robucf4]

I just pull the trigger on the PNY 8800 GTS 320 for $225, at that price I just figured I could not do much better. I wanted the 640 meg version but I cannot justify the extra $150 as all I play is WoW and the occasional hot game of the moment. I just figured for my use it was the most bang for the buck. I hope in a month or so I do not regret this. My main concern was being able to play games at 16x12 as thats the native resolution of my LCD. I think as long as I do not max out the eye candy I should be good.

Everybody suffers from buyer's remorse. You'll get over it :twisted:

Just abuse your new purchase and enjoy it for all it's worth. You'll get over your feelings real fast. I too bought the 320 version. Could I have coughed up more $$$ for the 640? Sure! I felt the 320 was an awesome mix of price and powah.

Same here, but I could not justify it, I was trying to find a good medium, I waited for the 8600's to come out but they are pricey and quite lacking spec wise. Besides for 50 bucks more you got the 8800 320. I am sure I will be happy with it, espically for my needs, just need to get over the remorse, I wish I could have waited another few months but I am so darn impatient.

where in the world did you get the GTS for $225.00, the cheapest i've found it for was $290.00

You made the right call.


Wait another few months? why?


The 320MB is the best value for money card out there.

You can wait forever man, most of the worries and the remorse you have are groundless and will be long forgotten and washed away when you're enjoying your new card.

Waiting months just to buy a 640MB would have been dumb.

It was $215 on Monday, 1 day of wait cost me 10 bucks, oh well.

Thanks guys, I hate having to settle for stuff (wanted the 640M version), but for this price I could not pass it up.
