Anyone have an idea what the new 8800GTS (G92) will be priced at? I got my eVGA Superclocked 8800GT for $250 and if the new 8800GTS is within ~$50 range...I will step-up but if it will cost like $350+ then forget it...unless performance is really worth the extra $100. Soooo...anyone know or had an idea of performance and price? and if it worth stepping-up for a budget/"best deal"/"bang for buck" guy like me?

$399 is what it should be...bit it will be about... $450 till mid Jan probably right?

Either way $399 is $150 more than what I got the 8800GT for...i doubt performance will be worth the extra $150...

As quoted,

"It was already known to feature 128 enabled stream processors, and the latest specs claim that the new card will also have a 650MHz core clock speed, shaders at 1625MHz, 512MB memory at 1940MHz and will be nine inches long. Its official release date is said to be December 3rd, with a price tag somewhere between $299 and $349."

After the success of the GT, expect the GTS to be higher.

These specs are well above the GTX, which sells for $599.

As long as you can play your games above 30fps, with filters, you'll be fine (60fps is definitely better though).

Crysis is demanding, regardless of card, crossfire or sli.

Best to sit on your GT, enjoy it, then wait until the dust settles about Crysis.
